Powinniśmy się bać, wybuch wulkanu na Islandii to dopiero początek
W serwisie Onet.pl dostępny jest artykuł opisujący skutki niedawnej erupcji wulkanu Eyjafjöll na Islandii:
Ziemia co jakiś czas przypomina nam, że tak naprawdę wcale nie kontrolujemy naszej planety. Seria erupcji wulkanicznych na Islandii, która zaczęła się w środę, to właśnie jedno z takich przypomnień. Obserwując jak chmura popiołu zasnuwa północną Europę, całkowicie paraliżując ruch powietrzny nad Skandynawią i Wielką Brytanią, zaczynamy uświadamiać sobie naszą ludzką bezbronność wobec sił natury.
Jak się okazuje, Ziemia pełna jest “superwulkanów”, które śpią ukryte aż do momentu uaktywnienia. Zagrożenie, jakie powoduje ich wybuch, jest niewyobrażalne:
W 2005 grupa robocza (powołana przez Londyńskie Towarzystwo Geologiczne), która badała poziom zagrożenia erupcją superwulkanu, doszła do wniosku, że takie zjawisko mogłoby “doprowadzić do zniszczenia obszaru wielkości Ameryki Północnej lub Europy, a w ciągu kilku lat wywołać całkowitą zmianę klimatu. Wybuch na taką skalę może zrujnować rolnictwo, pozbawić ludzkość dostępu do żywności i zagrozić naszej cywilizacji”.
Erupcje superwulkanów zwykle wiąże się z masowym wymieraniem gatunków, jak choćby z wymieraniem permskim około 250 mln lat temu – z powierzchni Ziemi zniknęło wtedy prawie 90 proc. gatunków organizmów morskich i doszło do powstania trapów syberyjskich.
Wyobraźmy sobie, co może nas czekać! W artykule znajduje się opis skutków erupcji islandzkiego wulkanu, która miała miejsce w XVIII wieku:
Ostatni potężny wybuch na Islandii miał miejsce w 1783. Laki, wulkan szczelinowy sąsiadujący z Grimsvötn, otworzył się i przez osiem miesięcy z ponad setki kraterów wydostawała się lawa i chmury pyłów. Trujący dwutlenek siarki zabił ponad połowę bydła na Islandii i wywołał klęskę głodu, która doprowadziła do śmierci około 10 tys. osób, czyli około jednej czwartej populacji.
Na tym nie koniec, bo toksyczny obłok pyłów wulkanicznych przeniósł się na południe, siejąc spustoszenie w Europie. – Pojawienie się ogromnych ilości dwutlenku węgla przy wyjątkowo niesprzyjających warunkach pogodowych, spowodowało gęstą mgłę, która na kilka miesięcy zasnuła całą zachodnią Europę. W rezultacie, od 1783 do zimy 1784 zmarły tysiące osób – przypomina Jerram. Mgła była tak gęsta, że statki zmuszone były stać bezczynnie w portach całej Europy.
Bolesne skutki erupcji Laki zaobserwowano też w bardziej odległych zakątkach świata. – Mamy dowody, że Laki przyczynił się do klęski nieurodzaju ryżu w Japonii w 1783 i osłabił cyrkulację afrykańskiego i indyjskiego monsunu – mówi Thordarson.

Thanks for your post. One other thing is the fact that individual American states have their own laws of which affect homeowners, which makes it very hard for the the legislature to come up with a different set of guidelines concerning property foreclosures on property owners. The problem is that each state has own laws and regulations which may have impact in an adverse manner in regards to foreclosure plans.

Superb blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers? I’m hoping to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions? Appreciate it!

My partner and I absolutely love your blog and find many of your post’s to be precisely what I’m looking for. can you offer guest writers to write content for you personally? I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on many of the subjects you write about here. Again, awesome site!
Wow, amazing weblog layout! How lengthy have you been running a blog for? you made blogging look easy. The overall glance of your website is excellent, as neatly as the content material!
I have seen a lot of useful factors on your web-site about computer systems. However, I have got the opinion that lap tops are still not quite powerful more than enough to be a good choice if you normally do tasks that require a lot of power, for instance video enhancing. But for web surfing, statement processing, and a lot other typical computer work they are fine, provided you don’t mind the little screen size. Many thanks for sharing your thinking.
I do love the way you have presented this particular difficulty and it really does provide me personally a lot of fodder for consideration. Nevertheless, from just what I have experienced, I only hope when the feedback pack on that people continue to be on point and not start on a soap box involving some other news du jour. All the same, thank you for this exceptional piece and whilst I do not necessarily go along with the idea in totality, I respect the viewpoint.
Does your blog have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to shoot you an e-mail. I’ve got some ideas for your blog you might be interested in hearing. Either way, great website and I look forward to seeing it improve over time.
