VOLCANO, Hawaii (AP) — Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano spawned a new lava fissure Saturday, emitting minor lava spatter less than a mile from a geothermal energy plant.

The U.S. Geological Survey said 16 fissures have now opened up on the Big Island. The latest arose around 6:45 a.m. about 1 mile (1.6 kilometer) northeast of the last fissure in the Leilani Estates neighborhood.
==================================================
In addition, there is growing concern about volcanic activity increasing on the West Coast: https://apnews.com/a11da85b7c90425b98ed834fa56d120f

'SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — The eruption of a Hawaii volcano in the Pacific “Ring of Fire” has experts warily eyeing volcanic peaks on America’s West Coast that are also part of the geologically active region.

The West Coast is home to an 800-mile (1,300-kilometer) chain of 13 volcanoes , from Washington state’s Mount Baker to California’s Lassen Peak. They include Mount St. Helens, whose spectacular 1980 eruption in the Pacific Northwest killed dozens of people and sent volcanic ash across the country, and massive Mount Rainier, which towers above the Seattle metro area.'

A little surprised no one has posted this yet:

 
Congress should take advantage of the volcano & use it for human sacrifice; they have about 535 folks they could consider as volunteers ..........
 
I'm surprised nobody has blamed AGW yet. They do for everything else in nature.

Have you ever noticed how unscientific global warming denialists are, LoP? Probably not.

Yes, the deniers are unscientific. I understand the sciences. I am not a denier.

I keep hearing that but I have never seen anything to support that except you always claiming to be an expert.

What would be valid support?

Who are you to judge my competence in these sciences when you obviously are several levels below me in understanding?

Does it matter what my specialty is?

I will tell you this. I have worked in engineering for 8 years, from 1994 to 2002. I was doing rapid research and development for CMP. Chemical Mechanical Planarization. Though I have never formally studied the climate sciences in college... It is very simple for me to understand because of what I have done in the past.
