"Awakening volcanic region in Iceland"

Couldn't see this posted elsewhere. Mods can remove if it already is.

It seems a region in Iceland has now seen increased activity after being dormant for about 800 years. The last time it was active, it lasted for about 300 years. Apparently, this region consists of "five volcanic systems" that seem to work in unison. If they erupt, it could cause serious and long lasting problems.

It seems that after being relatively inactive for many centuries, this region is waking up,” said Dave McGarvie, a volcanologist at Lancaster University

I don't much about such things, but if this indeed comes to pass then it will at the very least disrupt air traffic. Keflavik airport is only 15km away, but this could obviously have wider implications.

The ice age will come quickly and fiercely. We're witnessing the beginning of the end.

If it blows and it’s Big that’s a definite possibility . Another year without summer . (1816 Mount Tambora)

The Global warming people wouldn’t be happy.

It would get cold and we’d need to burn fossil fuels to stay warm .

Irony is like a outhouse breeze it’s only a matter of time till you’re not up wind.

The global warming people, I have a name for them. 'Greta'.

They won't like this information, it's the reversal of everthing they're planning.

Irony. Gotta love it.

Oh good, volcanoes now.

I'm not wanting to dare what's next....

She’s in Stockholm that’s down wind.

More irony lol

More and more volcanoes ashes spurt into atmospheres, blocking heat from the Sun. Along with deep solar minimum, severely lack of sunspots. Perfect timing for mini ice age. Get ready folks
