              Maybe take a news break my friend.

              Or read a history book and learn about the truly horrific things humanity has done over the past 3000+ years to put current events in perspective. Or read something about the universe and realize how incredibly insignificant and meaningless the entirety of humanity is. Or get drunk

                I did just downloaded ”Between the World and Me” by Ta-Nehisi Coates. Hoping for some time to start it tomorrow. Cheers!

          I don’t think Valcanos are effected by climate change. They do release a fair amount of CO2 and can effect climate change, but I don’t think the other direction has any effect. Maybe fracking or something can cause it, but this kind of thing is expected to happen frequently in this area. It’s nothing to be concerned about.

            Not sure but I think you mean affect instead of effect. But what’s funny is this is a rare instance where it works with either word.

              You know, I don’t know which I meant either. Usually there is a clear difference, but not here. Weird.

            The CO2 isn’t the problem, it’s the sulfur gases. They basically do the opposite of CO2. When Krakatoa errupted, it lowered global temperatures by 0.5 C. It canceled summer and caused famines. When large volcanoes erupt they don’t cause a climate catastrophe, they ARE the climate.

            Anyway, here’s a neat video so you’re not just believing a stranger on the internet.

          It’s dangerous to anyone directly by it as it happens and in the form of pumice rafts if any where created, but that’s about it.

          Depending upon the composition and how much material gets built up, it will likely erode away fairly quickly and may pose a hazard when not visible but still just under the waves or something.

        If you are trying to build on it or roast marshmallows.

      • Because China will claim that it’s their hereditary rightful property.

        I’m def gonna caveat this right up front by saying it’s a reasonable, non-racist joke based on recent behaviors and conflicts, just as much as it’s sadly funny to make similar jokes about the US invading countries full of brown people and oil. Sometimes things are bitterly funny because they’re true.

    Better watch out for China coming over to claim it.

    Facebook comments be like “why are we sending money to Japan to build an island? We deserve the new island more! America first!”

    Here, we can see another illustration of the difference in philosophy between the modern Chinese and Japanese production and manufacturing culture. Japanese island architects have been carefully cultivating this undersea mount for generations, using painstaking traditional techniques, which are only now showing true signs of paying off; in contrast, Chinese island architects almost exclusively stick to rapid-fill dredging combined with concrete pours on top of coral reefs, which are generally considered to be a far less elegant and lower quality way of producing an island.

      Maybe a testament to the effects of the uber nationalistic, hyper-competitive nature of the chinese economy. Get nitpicky about the how of what you’re going to do and someone else will take the contract. Get too good at what you do and you risk government assimilation.
