Etna’s Latest Eruption Revives Concerns About Related Tsunami Engulfing ‘Entire Mediterranean’.

It’s been known for quite some time that the so-called Roof of the Mediterranean has been on the move, with the fact raising the worrying recurrence of the highest volcano in Europe sending towers of glowing lava and ash into the sky.

The last time Europe’s most active volcano, Mt. Etna on the island of Sicily, erupted was last Wednesday, prompting renewed concerns about a potentially graver threat, akin to the Plinian eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, which literally buried the Roman cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, as described in a letter by Pliny the Younger.

This is by far not the only and perhaps not the biggest imminent threat the volcano poses, as scientists previously found that the fiery Sicilian mountain, the slopes of which are home to roughly one million people, is slowly but steadily sliding into the Mediterranean Sea.

  1. This just really highlights the ludicrousness of the global warming farce. Volcanic eruptions emit enormous amounts of greenhouse gas. How are you going to address these naturally-occurring emissions, John Kerry? Ridiculous.

  2. Need to drop some politicians and “journalists” in it to appease the Globaloney Gaia goddess of volcanoes – or whatever – just do it!

    The more that are thrown in, the calmer the volcano.

  3. “You wanna know how the planet’s doing? Ask those people at Pompeii, who are frozen into position from volcanic ash, how the planet’s doing. You wanna know if the planet’s all right, ask those people in Mexico City or Armenia or a hundred other places buried under thousands of tons of earthquake rubble, if they feel like a threat to the planet this week.” – George Carlin
