NYIRAGONGO VOLCANO ERUPTS TO 45,000 FEET: DR CONGO ORDERS CITYWIDE EVACUATIONS

[Mark]

The volcano, located approximately 10 km (6 miles) from Goma, last erupted in 2002 killing 250 people — that eruption was logged as a VEI 2, according to volcano.si.edu.

Nyiragongo’s deadliest eruption in history was that of 1977 (during the weak solar minimum of cycle 20) — this event went down as a VEI 1, according to historical observations, yet still managed to kill more than 600 people.

Saturday evening’s eruption looks bigger.

This was likely the volcano’s strongest eruption in recorded history.

As documented, Earth’s average temperature was already falling off a cliff.

A global volcanic uptick is the last thing we need.

But it’s exactly what we’re getting.
