volcano in western Nicaragua shoots gas and ash 2 1/2 miles into the sky Saturday

This may cause some temporary cooling of the earth, because the ash will block some sunlight, until it is washed out of the air by rain. If it is enough to be noticeable, the coal and oil misinformation machines are sure to claim that as evidence against global warming.

More than 1,500 people have been evacuated after a volcano in western Nicaragua erupted Saturday, shooting gas and ash 2 1/2 miles into the sky, government officials said.

Explosions at San Cristobal Volcano -- located in the department of Chinandega about 65 kilometers (40 miles) south of the Honduran border and 130 kilometers north of the capital, Managua -- began around 8:45 a.m. Saturday, according to an assessment from SINAPRED, Nicaragua's federal emergency and disaster management agency.
