There’s been a volcanic eruption in Northwest Pacific at Bezymianny Volcano, reports dutchsinse.com here. Already an aviation colour code RED has been issued.
The spectacular, Mount St. Helens-like eruption has even been posted on YouTube:
The 2882-meter Bezymianny Volcano in Russia in the northwest Pacific blew on December 20, 2017, and the eruption was so powerful that it is reported to have blasted ash 15 km up into the atmosphere.
According to KVERT here, strong ash explosions up to 49,200 ft (15 km) are occurring at this time and ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft.
Here’s another view of the eruption, which shows successive explosive blasts the seem to have obliterated part of the mountain.

Impact on global climate?
There”s been no report on the eruption’s volcanic explosivity index (VEI) and so it is difficult to asses the possible consequences on global climate. The eruption is located at 55°N, and so its effect would not be as pronounced as one of similar magnitude occurring near the equator.
The Bezymianny volcano is part of the Russian Kamchatka volcanoes.

TASS here just reported “ash as high as 17 km above sea level“.

Of course you realize the alarmists will LEAP upon this as an excuse for any possible cooling the next little while.
I don’t get it. Climate science is describing the cooling effect of volcanoes all the time and somehow you are now afraid that cooling could be associated with errupting volcanoes? What’s the logic in that statement?
Obviously there are many things you “don’t get”. I do admire your persistence, though. Only another 24 hours, just hang on – you’ll make it. I never realized this site was so difficult for you to live without. 🙂
Attention is oxygen to trolls like sebh, deny them that and they will go away.
“and they will go away.”
But they don’t..
It is a concerted effort to disrupt discussion of reality vs the anti-CO2 world agenda.
The appearance of the rotten-appell, as soon as seb got sin-binned, shows that to be the case.
“I never realized this site was so difficult for you to live without.”
seb’s TROLLING on this site is the ONLY thing he has in his life.
It’s your comments I am living for … such intellect inspires 🙂
Seb.. desperately seeking attention
You poor lonely little mite.
Lonely and seeking attention , after only 2 days.
That truly is pathetic.
Get out of your inner city ghetto basement, seb,…
and GET A LIFE…….. other than your mindless trolling.
Intellectual dishonesty is your hallmark, seb.
To play sunsettommy’s role … where is the (counter) point in that reply? Care to elaborate on your logic?
Yet another TOTALLY EMPTY comment from seb.
If you don’t comprehend basic principles, seb, you should probably stop showing your continued wilful ignorance.
Basic principles like scientific proof, are an anathema to you seb.
You JUST BELIEVE, despite being TOTALLY UNABLE to produce one single paper that proves empirically that CO2 causes warming in our convective atmosphere.
You DO NOT understand basic principles of maths, science, physic or biology.
Agree with Seb.
Climate impact will depend on VEI and the economic eruptions latitude. Generally only eruptions in the tropics significantly affect climate.
Proof positive that these AGW troll work in concert.
One gets banned, another immediately appears.
What a SAD lot of non-entities they are.
Yep, Andy. What was it with CNN and fake news?
Oh yeah, Appells and Bananas?
I think the economic eruptions are happening in Brussels, the EZB, the UN, and the swamp (but I repeat myself)…..
Seb, this eruption is not near big enough nor located close enough to the equator to make THAT much difference.
I read somewhere that Mt Laki in Iceland, erupted in 1783, caused a cold year or two in Europe. Latitude 64N
Latitude is 55 N so climate impact is unlikely unless the explosion is hugely huge.
Its good to know that you and your AGW troll mates won’t be using it as an excuse for the coming cooling trend.
You, having said it won’t have any affect, can be pretty much relied on to say it did, at some stage. !
We all too often forget about the Russian far east and in particular the Kamchatka peninsula – it is a very siesmically speaking, area of some fierce volcanic activity.
Here in the north of the UK, we have observed some quite spectacular sunsets in recent days, one ponders on the news of this volcano ‘going up’, I’ve been following the progress of this eruption for the last few weeks…. and throwing particulates and dust into the upper atmosphere plus not least aerosols ie coolants, forebodes worse?
Is it entirely possible that, it could, have some affect on the NH’s winter, I don’t know but it maybe that it will cause it to be a wet and cooler summer – ‘might’ and I stress it.
How come neither of these You Tube videos is “available” at the moment? I tried going on to You Tube and searching for “Kamchatka Volcano” and only videos from a year or more ago came up.
They functioned when I posted, but for whatever reason they don’t seem to work anymore. Russia is filled with mysteries.
I read an article today, apparently climate change and the warming planet will cause more volcanic eruptions ? Everyday for the last few weeks climate change is causing all sorts of distress, I’ve lost count of the variety of ways things are possibly going to go extremely bad.
