There have been 5 mass extinctions on our planet earth. Current theory is that all five have had
volcanic origins. If we are now living in the sixth mass extinction (i.e. Climate Change) the evidence
seems to point to a human rather than volcanic origin. Perhaps we could do something to impede this
sixth mass extinction by changing our habits. We can only rely on ancient oil and coal deposits
for energy for a short time longer anyway. They are finite sauces left to us by a once verdant
planet. Perhaps we can get global agreement to change the global temperatures.
Electric driven transport is part of the answer. We will run out of oil eventually for sure.
REMEMBER KRAKATOA
Fragments of the island of Krakatau are poking out of the Indonesian ocean between Sumatra and Bali.
ON August 27, 1883, the Volcano Krakatoa (really spelled Krakatau) exploded blowing 4 cubic miles of
volcanic debris 24 miles into the sky then wind carried the smoke around the earth
lowering global temperatures.
A gaping fire filled hole was filled with tons of sea water triggering a second explosion which was heard
as far away as Brisbane, Australia. Worse than that was the 120 foot tsunami whose strength
was felt as far away as San Franciso. 36,000 people died as a result. Half of those killed
drowned in the tidal wave. Survivors scrambled up mountainous shorelines to escape…
crawled over each other.
This remans the most explosive volcanic explosion in recorded history
120 FOOT TSUNAMI…WAS ESCAPE POSSIBLE?…SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Krakatoa explosion was 13,000 time larger than the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
IF you were living in a sea level village and saw
the 120 foot sunami coming there was
no hope of survival . Whole islands were stripped bare. If you heard by a stroke of
luck the that a monstrous Tsunami was coming, You just might have time
to climb 120 feet assuming there was such a cliff or mountain nearby.
What would you do?
Could it happen again?
Currently there are 10 large cities on earth that are just above sea level. All ten
would be devastated in such a disaster. London and Bangkok are two of them. Could such a volcanic disaster happen
again?
On August 27 no one wil be celebrating the explosion of Krakatoa.

AN ODD FOOTNOTE: The Indonesia rhinoceros survived partly because the island
homeland was stripped of human beings according to one source. Is that trivia or a worthy footnote?
