There's the possibility that this volcano could set off a bigger, neighbouring volcano and the eruption could carry on for over a year- because this is what has happened in the past. If that happens we could be witnessing the beginning of a world-changing event here.
Uh, oh! That doesn't sound good. Perhaps we'll all be able to stop worrying about global warming and start panicking about another ice age instead. :(
My husband, who is a geologist, has noticed that the earth is very seismically active at the moment. We've had a string of earthquakes and now this eruption. It's possible that they're all related as the stresses shift over the earth's crust.
