The Fagradalsfjall Volcano, about 25 miles from Reykjavík, has been extremely active the last several days, with almost 1,500 earthquakes.
Elander & the News (@ElanderNews) ~ ICELAND - The Fagradalsfjall Volcano is about to erupt!
There have been 1,485 earthquakes in 48 hours and residents are preparing for an eruption.
It will dump more Carbon Dioxide into the atmosphere than all humans put together.

Residents of the southwest city of Grindavík have been ordered to evacuate.
The BBC reports:
The chance of a volcanic eruption in Iceland is rising, posing a threat to a now-evacuated town, experts say.
Iceland has declared a state of emergency after a series of earthquakes.
Authorities have ordered thousands of people living in the southwestern town of Grindavík to leave as a precaution.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office (IMO) said there was a considerable risk of an eruption.
The probability of an eruption on or just off the Reykjanes peninsula has increased since the morning, IMO says.
An eruption could start at any time in the next few days, according to the statement.
Thor Thordason, professor of volcanology at the University of Iceland, said a 15km-long (nine mile) river of magma running under the peninsula was still active.
"That's why we're talking about an imminent eruption unfortunately. The most likely eruption side appears to be within the boundary of the town of Grinadvik," he told the BBC.
Thousands of tremors have been recorded around the nearby Fagradalsfjall volcano in recent weeks.
They have been concentrated in Iceland's Reykjanes Peninsula, which had remained dormant to volcanic activity for 800 years before a 2021 eruption.
If it does erupt, and scientists think it will, it will release a lot of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
A lot.
Dick Delingpole (@DickDelingpole) ~ Tax it. It’s the only solution.
There ya go, Joe ... get da IRS to TAX da sh!t outta dat thang!
Taxes fix everything.
Alwaysredi (@Alwaysredi1) ~ We need to make all volcanos electric to reduce their carbon footprint.
#ClimateEmergency #ClimateActionNow
Let's get working on that right now.
Tom Osman (@tomosman) ~ This is ridiculous. We need net-zero eruptions.
Net-zero eruptions, now.
I'm sure John Lurch Kerry will get on that, right away!
𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐂𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐬𝐞 (@normposter) ~ HOW DARE YOU!!!!
Someone might need to do a welfare check on Greta.
Yeah, poor Gerta Thunderpants jest can't face another eruption ... the last one she took traumatized her way too much!
Fusilli Spock (@awstar11) ~ I have an idea ...
If you understand this reference (as this writer does), take some ibuprofen for your back, because we're old.
Ouch! Really? It's been 33 years since that movie came out? Hmmm ... we are getting old.
Jon (@JonnyMicro) ~ Has anyone tried throwing a virgin into it.
Well, that was the idea, Jon, but I don't think Meg Ryan is a virgin anymore.
And, hey ... don't look at me ... we don't have any of those down at The Nymphomaniac Treatment Center!
Helena Handbasket (@BumpstockBarbie) ~ But that’s DIFFERENT CO2 so it doesn’t count towards climate change.
(D)ifferent, as this writer is fond of saying.
Yeah ... hey, we don't need any virgins ... let's just throw a bunch of Democrats into it. That's a win/win no matter what happens!
OG (@Randy_Shannon) ~ Mmmm ... trees and grass love CO2.
Yes, they do.
Blame Big Government (@BlameBigGovt) ~ More than all the methane from cow farts?
Probably.
Well, the Fagradalsfjall Volcano can't outdo ribit, but ... he's royalty ... he always does things on a far GRANDER scale.
Capital Misallocation (@BenBrey) ~ We aren’t in control - we remain passive riders on this earth no matter how smart we think we are or what we do. Entropy remains firmly in the drivers seat with Entropic Events being the enforcers of this reality.
This. It is folly to think giving up cars, eating bugs, and reducing our quality of life will have any significant impact on the planet or the environment.
The power of Mother Nature reminds us of that daily.
But that's not what environmentalism is about: it's simply rebranded communism.
With the eruption imminent, we hope the people of Iceland stay safe and that damage is as minimal as it can be in those situations.
