An Alternative Observation of Earth Day
As parts of the nation prepare to observe Earth Day, it has occurred to me that we may be observing The Earth is Mine Week. With a well-placed volcanic eruption, God may be accomplishing three things:
1. In the face of slow action by humankind, God temporarily addresses global warming with volcanic ash that may lower worldwide temperatures for a time.
2. To provide an example of how people can slow down for a few days, God closes European airspace, dramatically reducing consumption (and the burning of fossil fuel) and helping people observe the Sabbath.
3. Makes a dramatic statement: The Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it” Psalm 24:1.

Excellent post, reminding us that, regardless of how we think or act, God is in charge.
I would add a point to your list:
4. To reiterate the fact that earth can cope with alterations to its climate structure, as it has many times in the past, God serves us up with an event which we perceive as major but, on a global and historical scale, registers only as a minor blip.
