COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, You’re extensively adopted right here in Indonesia, being one of many few analysts who can cowl our nation and the one one overlaying us objectively. Socrates has been proper once more with the forecast for rising volcanic exercise in 2025. Indonesia has 270 million individuals, however we’re on the ring of fireside. We’ve got 120 energetic volcanos. We met years in the past if you got here to Bali. The Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki volcano in south-central Indonesia has erupted, sending an ash column 26,200 ft excessive. This volcanic cycle appears to be energetic all over the place.

REPLY: Sadly, this cycle is seeing rather more volcanic exercise than in a long time and maybe centuries. My concern is {that a} VEI6 or extra important may cause famine and critical international cooling. The Little Ice Age was actually magnified by the eruption of a volcano in Peru. This resulted in widespread famine in Asia, Europe, and Russia.
