Experts warn of volcano destroying Japan at any moment!!

Hi ATS,

Ever since that tsunami hit Japan awhile back, I have been periodically following the website www.enenews.com. Anyways, I came across this article today and thought I would share. I'm wondering if Japan will ever get a break? Or in fact, what Gods are so angry at them that they want to wipe them off the face of the Earth?

Wall St Journal, Oct. 23, 2014 (emphasis added): One major volcanic eruption could make Japan “extinct,” a study by experts at Kobe University warns… “We should be aware… It wouldn’t be a surprise if such gigantic eruption were to take place at any moment.”

I doubt the validity of anything enenews publishes.

Really, even with all the sources?

They had one 5 hours ago..

volcano watch seems to be a growing concern, especially close to a nuclear plant...

Following a week of relatively low activity, the volcano has become more active again during the past days. A particularly strong vulcanian explosion occurred this morning and produced an ash plume that rose to 15,000 ft (4.5 km) altitude.

Studies have shown that pyroclastic flow from an eruption 90,000 years ago at one of the volcanos near the Sendai plant in Kagoshima prefecture reached as far as 145 kilometers (90 miles) away, Fujii said. He said a pyroclastic flow from Mount Sakurajima, an active volcano that is part of the larger Aira Cauldron, could easily hit the nuclear plant, which is only 40 kilometers (25 miles) away.

Heavy ash falling from an eruption would make it impossible to reach the plant, and could also affect many parts of the country including Tokyo, he said. Many nuclear power plants could be affected in western Japan, 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) southwest of the capital.

Another source minus the doom and gloom.

Japan warned on Friday that a volcano in southern Japan located roughly 64 km (40 miles) from a nuclear plant was showing signs of increased activity that could possibly lead to a small-scale eruption and warned people to stay away from the summit.

small-scale eruption

"There is an increase in activity that under certain circumstances could even lead to a small scale eruption, but it is not in danger of an imminent, major eruption," the official said.

but it is not in danger of an imminent, major eruption

That website appears to contain nothing that is not Fukushima related.
It isn't a neutral source, anyway. There is an agenda.

So check other sources and discover the facts. Don't just discount something because you don't like the packaging...

As for doom and gloom, well that is just Japans right...

They have gotten #ed by mother earth and the brotherhood of man for a century now...

You might as well go to The Onion to get your news. Enenews is a sham.

That's not true... Enenews actually links to some very good information on occasion... as long as you don't sink down into the goon babble that is the comments section.

If the OP had went to the actual site and linked to it from there, then you wouldn't have said a word. I have used several sources I have found from reading Enenews and have never had a problem... I just never use Enenews itself as a source because of all the biased comments and doomporn that perpetuates the forums on the site.

lets have some context shal we ? :

the chance of a big eruption that would disrupt the lives of everyone in Japan are about 1% over the next 100 years.

funny how all the doom-porn sites omit this sentence

I lived in Japan - just south of Tokyo - for three years. 1983-1986. There was talk back then that Mt Fuji was about to erupt and that all of Tokyo was going to slide into the Pacific. Here we are over 30 years later and it hasn't happened yet. I've learned not to believe the 'it can happen at any moment' type stuff unless the ground itself is shaking and the sky is already darkening.
