How much ocean water displacement is taking place in Hawaii as a result of eruptions? How about volcanoes we don't know about deep in the ocean?
Not much on a global scale. The rift that has been erupting for what's it been, 3 months or so now? That's added a little over a square mile of coast, all of it where shallow water used to be. https://volcanoes.usgs.gov/observatories/hvo/maps_uploads/image-521.jpg I plan to retire on the slope of a different volcano, so I've been watching with interest.
In the last 5 years, California governments have played a negative roll in the burning of well over a million acres. These carbon emissions are rarely calculated and considered as a cause of global warming. How many California miles driven in cars = one 250,000 acre fire? I don't know.
Greenhouse gasses are also emitted when dead plant matter rots in the forest. Not as quickly but there's a whole lot of it. https://msutoday.msu.edu/news/2017/decomposing-leaves-are-a-surprising-sourc...
But anyways - can we please drop the non-internet related discussions from filling my nanog filtered technical email folders?
Apparently not. ;) Regards, Bill Herrin -- William Herrin ................ herrin@dirtside.com bill@herrin.us Dirtside Systems ......... Web: <http://www.dirtside.com/>
