Mexico's active Popocatepetl volcano has exploded late Monday evening, sending ash and debris high into the air and several kilometers away from the crater.

The 9:38 pm explosion of the active crater sent a 1.2km-high column of ash and fragments into the air, the country's civil protection said, releasing footage of the blast.

Two explosions were observed from the Popocatépetl volcano in central Mexico on the morning of Saturday, March 16, the country's civil protection agency (CNPC) said.

This footage shows an observation flight over the volcano, shared on Friday, and national disaster management agency footage showing the two explosions at 2.57am and 9.30am on Saturday, according to CNPC.The agency on Friday had shared footage from a observation flight over the volcano, which erupted a week prior.

Eruption of Bezymianny volcano at 17:29 UTC on March 15, 2019.
Explosive activity continues. Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Tokyo warned about a volcanic ash plume that rose up to estimated 50000 ft (15200 m) altitude or flight level 500 and is moving at 50 kts in E direction.

YDB team publishes evidence from Chile for global climate cataclysm

The main objective of this study was to test the YDB impact hypothesis by analyzing a wide range of data from the Pilauco site in southern Chile. The following conclusions show that our data and interpretations are consistent with the YDB impact hypothesis and we found no evidence that refutes the hypothesis.

(1) At Pilauco, ~12,800-year-old peaks in high-temperature Pt-rich and native-Fe spherules are comparable to similar impact-related evidence found at more than 50 YDB sites in North America, Europe, and western Asia. It appears that the YDB layer at Pilauco is coeval with similar layers found at these sites on several continents and is also possibly related to the proposed YDB impact event.

(2) Identification of the YDB layer at Pilauco greatly expands the proposed YDB proxy feld ~6,000 km farther south of the closest well-studied YDB site in Venezuela, and ~12,000 km south of the northernmost YDB site in Canada, a distance equaling ~30% of Earth's circumference.

(3) Cr-rich spherules are found in the YDB layer at Pilauco, but not found at the ~50 other sites on four continents, suggesting that one or more local impacts/airbursts occurred in the Cr-rich basaltic terrain
circa Pilauco.

The propagandists are in overdrive shoving "climate grief" down our collective throats. And the next step in that indoctrination, the acceptance of climate eugenics to atone for our climate sins, is almost here. Join James for this week's important edition of #PropagandaWatch dissecting the dangerous lies that are being pushed in the name of the environment.

Popocatepetl Volcano erupts and lights up night sky in Mexico

Popocatepetl Volcano
Mexico's Popocatepetl Volcano, near Mexico City, erupted close to midnight on March 9, lighting up the night sky.Nicola Rustichelli, from Webcams de Mexico, recorded the explosion from a vista in the town of San Nicolas de los Ranchos.

The explosion sent incandescent molten rock and a column of ash about a mile into the air before the volcano returned to its previous level of activity.

Officials warned local residents to stay clear of the volcano, in particular the crater, saying that falling fragments could still pose a threat to anyone who gets too close.

Shiveluch Volcano in Russia's Kamchatka territory throws ash 3 miles high

The Shiveluch volcano, located in Russia's Kamchatka Territory, belched a column of ash 4.7 kilometers (3 miles) above sea level into the sky on Monday, the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT) said.

"According to video and satellite data, an ash plume on the height 4.5-4.

Shiveluch is the northernmost active volcano in Kamchatka. The volcano has been active since November 2018.

Volcano in Iceland Is one of the largest sources of volcanic CO2, 'rarely included in calculations'

An airborne view of the massive glacier (600 square kilometers and up to 700 meters thick) that covers Katla, one of Iceland's most active and hazardous volcanoes. New research of Katla's emissions suggests that ice-covered volcanoes may emit greater quantities of carbon dioxide than previously estimated.
High-precision airborne measurements, in combination with atmospheric modeling, suggest that the Katla subglacial caldera may be one of the planet's biggest sources of volcanic carbon dioxide.

The emission rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the less obvious-but nevertheless significant-measures of volcanic activity. Volcanic CO2 emissions are also important for understanding the preindustrial climate balance. To date, estimates of global volcanic CO2 emissions have been extrapolated primarily from measurements collected at a small number of active sources. Ice-covered volcanic centers are prevalent, but they are often difficult to access, and their vents are difficult to discern, so they are rarely included in these calculations.

Comment: While it's clear that much greater forces are driving our planet's climate, it's notable what global warmists fail to include in their obviously erroneous models.

Mexico's Popocatepetl volcano erupts with massive ash plume

Popocatepetl volcano

Popocatepetl volcano
Mexico's mighty Popocatepetl volcano erupted on Wednesday (March 06), sending a plume of gas and ash 1,200 meters (3,937 feet) into the sky, according to Mexico's disaster prevention agency.

Images showed the ash plume being discharged into the sky high above the snow covered slopes of the mountain. The eruption occurred at 8:26 a.m. on Wednesday according to Mexico's National Disaster Prevention Center.

Servando de la Cruz, a researcher at Mexico's National Autonomous University, said the volcano's current activity, while spectacular, was within the limits of recent historical eruptions and the volcano was being monitored by authorities for any heightened activity.

Popocatepetl is 5,426 meters (17,802 feet) tall and is the second highest mountain in Mexico and the fifth highest in North America.
