So, all of you people who just LOVE volcanoes… I hope you don’t believe in the whole global warming phenomenon. If you are one of these chicken littles, you should know that volcano eruptions are about 1 million times more devastating to the air than every car combined on this planet. BTW, I like volcanoes.

I watch Mount Baker every clear day that I drive home from work. There have been times when steam has erupted from the peak. A disaster could happen even if it does not erucpt. All it has to do is burp really hot and melt that glacier. THe area below is so heavily built up the losses would be incredible. And funny thing but flood water and mud will not respect international boundries.
It is still a very beutiful site when the setting sun lights it up on a freshly cleared sky.
