Very true, nowadays I don't see why anyone would want to smoke it.

I have a cheap old EZ Vape plug in wall version next to bed for occasional weekend use. I want a Volcano but too expensive course I'm more a light user.

I grow my own, I keep 1 mason jar filled or half, growing 2 every few months in closet using cfl

Where's the kilometre long ice spikes and hydrogen volcanos?

fixed.
The combined destructive/creative forces of nature can really produce some retina shattering beauty.
I've never seen anything nearly as gorgeous as a rift volcano in full eruption.
13 more points and I'll definitely give this *quality

The volcano is here - https://goo.gl/maps/LbKHf

They appear to be somewhere in the middle of the bay, which makes it about 4km (?) away. If you assume (like the yt commenters did) that the shockwave slowed to the speed of sound almost instantly you would calculate a distance of approx 4-4.5kms which would have them almost on the opposite shoreline (or even on land) which they clearly are not...

p.s. Yes I realise that a supersonic shockwave should cause you to underestimate rather than overestimate distances, perhaps they're really a bit further from Rabul than I assumed?

p.p.s They were staying at Kokopo Beach Bungalows, and went out on the boat for a better look.

I went with speed of sound. Any idea how to figure it?

-edit-
Removed my attempt at figuring the distance for a more interesting video of the volcano erupting

What an idiot you sound like.
If you look at 'geology reports' you'll learn that what happening in our atmosphere IS DEFINATELY something new, both because it's happening because of humans and because of the rate at which we are affecting change, way faster than volcanoes have (possibly with the exception of super volcanoes).
The ocean buffer is not infinite, and it's already past it's ability to 'buffer' us and is both getting more acidic and warmer top to bottom.
I would love to see you publicly take an IQ test next to Bill Nye. I'd give you a spread of 25IQ points and still be willing to put a $G on Bill to win. If it's a science test, I'll give you 25% and I'll put $5K on Bill to win. You have shown conclusively you don't understand science.
Chogie?

Yeah and when emissions from volcanoes (among other things) got out of control:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian%E2%80%93Triassic_extinction_event

The oceans aren't going to save us and, if anything, might be affected the most by increased CO2 in the atmosphere: http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/co2/story/What+is+Ocean+Acidification%3F.

I really don't see why it is such a bad idea to attempt to reduce harmful emissions around the globe - it can only benefit us in the long run and we have the technology to do so. But it will cost big dollars that citizens and, in particular, corporations are unwilling to part with. If we continue the way we are though, in another 100-200 years it might be too late.

What an idiot. Yes, the temps have been up for a while. Just like we've had mini-ice ages and mini-bumps throughout history. Look at geology reports (oh, wait, he's only a mechanical engineer.) Nothing new here, folks. Yes, we're pumping out carbon dioxide. So did volcanos in the distant past. So what? We've got a lot of buffer called the ocean. Lastly, Dr. Nye, two coincident facts don't show causality. Oh, you wear a bow-tie, you must be smart. See? Classic example of two facts that are coincident but not related. Except for the you're being smart part. That part isn't true. Michael Crichton had it right in State of Fear.

You can take every person on this planet and put them on one Hawaiian island. Would be crowded.

If the scientific method was being used, then there wouldn't be any scientists who would disbelieve it. But not everyone is together on this. How do you know that volcanoes don't affect the global climate more than humans?

It seems you misunderstood that it only references certain features, and volcanoes are not in that category.
It only makes the assumption about the certain kinds of features that have been shown to form only at certain rates....not about every X, which you are ascribing it to...like volcanoes, land slides, mountain range building, etc. (again, not in the category).
Radiometric dating is not 1/2 of geology, or even 1/2 of geologic dating, by far. You misunderstand again.
Uniformitarianism sounds like a theologist creation. Learned geologists know that the world is not uniform, but certain processes are.
I have honestly looked at much of the publicized evidence (it's apparent that you have not) and how they use it to arrive at numerous theories, I am not shocked at all because I understand science and the processes it uses to come to 'conclusions'.
