Evidence of human-caused catastrophe mounts daily with grim reports from sea, sky and land: disappearing species, the collapse of fisheries, deforestation, the shrinking ozone layer, higher concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide, oceanic dead zones, warming temperatures, extreme weather, rising sea levels, depleted aquifers, melting glaciers, thawing permafrost.
The team thinks all the sulfur dioxide came from one eruption because the zone of dirty ice gradually thins out in all directions toward its margins.

Field measurements of pore-gas oxygen and carbon dioxide in the vadose zone indicate that sulphide oxidation has progressed to depths of 1.6 m to 1.7 m within the tailings.
Transitioning to an electrified world running on wind, water and solar power ONLY would get the climate back on track; reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide to the safe zone of 350 parts per million (ppm) by century's end (currently CO2 is at 400ppm and climbing).
Plates were incubated for 20 to 24 h at 37 °C with 5%% carbon dioxide (CO2) after which zone diameters were measured and compared to established breakpoints to determine susceptible (S), intermediate (I) and resistant (R) status as per CLSI guidelines [ 19, 20].
Carbon dioxide fluxes also varied significantly with zone.
Analyzing radar data from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet for 2004 and 2005, they found something that had eluded previous researchers: an elliptical zone of dissolved sulfur dioxide about as large as the state of New Jersey.
In the zones adjacent to the silicon dioxide surface, the density of negative charges is extremely high, while in the zones far away from the silicon dioxide surface, the negative charges distribute uniformly.
Tables 8 and 9 (in Section 5) show the observed reductions in carbon dioxide and pollutants within the charging zones for the case study cities.
