Mount Nyiragongo turned the sky red and spewed out a river of lava on Saturday, but stopped short of Goma, a city of two million just south of the volcano. At least 15 deaths have been confirmed. More than 170 children are missing. The lava halted near Buhene district, on the outskirts of Goma, burying hundreds of houses and large buildings. All the houses in Buhene neighbourhood were burned. Lava crossed one highway connecting Goma to the city of Beni. At night, crowds were seen fleeing on foot with mattresses and other belongings. We watched the whole neighbourhood in the Nyiragongo territory go up in smoke. The fire came right down to here. Even now we can still see lava. People would need help to rebuild their lives. It is a population that has lost everything. The lava flow was slow, like, 1km/h, but it wouldn’ stop and then it started burning the houses. The lava reached villages on the outskirts of Goma but stopped short of the city. The lava in Mount Nyiragongo is particularly fluid and has the potential to move fast. The volcano’s deadliest eruption happened in 1977, when more than 600 people died. (BBC)

THE BLOGGER’S COMMENTS

THE CLIMATE MOVEMENT MAY STILL FIND A WAY FOR ATTRIBUTION USING THEIR EVENT ATTRIBUTION SCIENCE AND ALL THOSE COMPUTER MODELS AS THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT CLIMATE SCIENCE NEEDS THIS CALAMITY TO BE A CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACT. FOR ONE THING, THE DEVASTAION AND THE HORROR OF THIS EVENT FAR EXCEEDS THE EFFECT OF TROPICAL CYCLONE GATI THAT HIT THE HORN OF AFRICA LAST YEAR (2020) BUT THE HORRORS FOUND IN THE EFFECT OF GATI WAS ENOUGH FOR CLIMATE SCIENCE, FIRST TO IMMEDIATELY ATTRIBUTE THE CYCLONE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND THEN TO GO INTO AN ORGASMIC PRETENSION OF LOVE AND CARING FOR THE CITIZENS OF SOMALIA THAT WERE AFFECTED …. AND THEN TO CALL FOR CLIMATE ACTION FOR UNDER THESE CONDITIONS ONLY THE CRUEL, THE HEARTLESS, AND THE RACISTS WOULD FAIL TO SEE THE URGENT NEED TO STOP BURNING FOSSIL FUELS. YET NONE OF THAT CARING APPLIES TO THE VICTIMS OF NYIRAGONGO APPARENTLY.

WE NOTE IN THIS REGARD THAT THE CLIMATE SCIENCE OBSESSION WITH ATTRIBUTING NATURE’S FURY TO CLIMATE CHANGE WITH EVENT ATTRIBUTION SCIENCE DOES HAVE SOME LIMITS ALTHOUGH THEY MAY FIND A WAY TO ATTRIBUTE NYIRAGONGO TO CLIMATE CHANGE. SEE FOR EXAMPLE, THIS ATTEMPT TO CLAIM A VOLCANIC ERUPTION AS AN IMPACT OF FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS: LINK: https://tambonthongchai.com/2018/05/21/global-warming-causes-volcanic-eruption-2010/
