And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
For a few months in the 70s I lived in Kagoshima Japan. Just across the bay was the volcano Sakurajima. There was some kind of ash and smoke release every day, but the prevailing winds blew most of it west into Miyazaki prefecture. Occasionally the wind would blow ash toward the city and it looked like very fluffy snow for a couple of hours until the wind blew it away. I remember once or twice seeing a plume approaching this size.
I wonder how many idiots driving electric cars (in order to "save" mankind) realize how this natural occurrence cancels out their pathetic attempt to avoid a "carbon footprint"?
Cooling actually…
ReplyDeleteOf course, but not according to the climate doomers

ReplyDeleteGreat photograph. You don’t want to fly through that ash though.
