VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN ICELAND

VOLCANIC ERUPTION IN ICELAND

By: Derek Varsalona

The fourth eruption since December of a volcano in Iceland occurred over the weekend.  Hundreds of people were evacuated from the Blue Lagoon area as a result.  Icelandic people are now building barriers to stop the flow of lava into the nearby town.  This is a danger to people in the area.

Hundreds of people are evacuated from the area as a volcanic eruption poses a danger to people in the area.  I believe this is a result of climate change.  The earth is getting warmer.  As of right now, we are on the fourth eruption since December.  What a horrible way to spend Hanukah and Christmas with volcanos erupting. 

The Icelandic people are left virtually helpless.  They are building defense barriers.  But my concern is with the major lava flow the lava is going to burn down those defense barriers in a matter of minutes.

I hate to bring out the hoax people but I dare say the climate change has something to do with this.  As the earth is becoming warmer, I believe that has something to do with the massive eruption of the volcano.  Climate change is not a hoax and possibly caused this eruption in the first place.  As always comments accepted.
