    You forgot to mention the Tonga Volcano (Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha-apai) which is in the Ring of Fire. A submarine volcano it erupted starting on December 20, 2021 and stopping on January 4, 2022. It is estimated that Tonga's eruptions during that time period added an extra 5% of water vapor to the atmosphere or around 179 trillion more gallons of water. Because of this alone, the Earth's climate will warm by 1 degree Fahrenheit by the end of this century and likely another 1 degree by the mid 2100s. Instead of haggling over how to reduce carbon emissions, it would probably be more profitable to look for ways to dehumidify the atmosphere somewhat.

    I live in Central Texas. I was alive when the 1964 earthquake struck Alaska. Where I live, there is a fault that is pretty much inactive, the Balcones Fault (not the music group.) There was a park near where we lived and my brother and I went out that day to play. There was a small cave, actually, I'm not sure how large the cave was, I was afraid to go in and, as a fe-type-male, I wasn't bullied into doing it. A child's head just fit into the largest part of the crack and we knew a couple of kids who had gotten into it. That day the crack was changed. It was narrower. Even a child's head no longer could get through it. Now, 6 decades later, the last time I was there, which was probably at least 2 decades ago, they had cemented the crack closed, made the climb safer and all that jazz. I mean, what's the point? Are we making childhood so safe our grand or great-grands never know danger until they kill themselves with something risky?

    • @br3wski
      @br3wski 6 месяцев назад

      lol at “fe-type-male. That’s clever
      I am Alaskan but not 1964 old who lives in Austin. Theres no link between the two. Austin isn’t seismically active or affected that way from afar.
      FYI - whining about how the world is changing is SO weird. I’m very sorry that people had their children die in places and worked hard to protect others. Nobody is “more soft” because it takes more work to find a way into an underground cave.

    • @ElicBehexan
      @ElicBehexan 6 месяцев назад

      @@br3wski I realize that the fault in Texas isn't in any way connected to Alaska, but that earthquake was so severe, a lot of unconnected faults responded. In this case, less than 2 inches, maybe even only an inch. I didn't go up there and measure it. I'm pretty sure no person's child died up there since I have lived all my life in Austin - except to go to college, but my folks still lived here. In fact, they both died here. However, I knew a lady who was living in Alaska in 1964. I don't remember now, but I think she was in Anchorage.

    I came across a theory in an atlas pro video that proposed one of if not the biggest factor for the Hawaiian hotspot is actually because it's at the antipode of a massive crater in South Africa. I have no idea if that is more or less plausible than the main cause being its central location in the Pacific plate but its interesting to think they may both be simultaneously at play!
