#2 Something for Al Gore to ponder.

Are you sitting down?

Okay, here's the bombshell. The current volcanic eruption going on in Iceland, since its first spewing of volcanic ash this past week, has, to this point, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet.

I know, I know.... (group hug)...it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of: driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up til midnight to finish your kid's "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, going on vacation to a city park instead of Yosemite, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your $1 light bulbs with $10 light bulbs ...well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just the past four days.

The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in the past four days has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon.

I'm so sorry. And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the brush fire season across the western U.S.A. will start in about two months and those fires will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two years.

But hey, grab a Coke, give the world a hug and have a nice day!

#5 Besoeker,

It is certainly true that the volcano produced CO2. However, it also greatly reduced air travel which may have partly offset or even fully offset the eruption.

#6 I'm not so sure, Lord Garth. Volcanoes put out a LOT of CO2. Of course, they also put out a lot of dirt and grit, that help cool the planet by blocking or reflecting sunlight.
The problem is that the models we have don't really address the effects of volcanoes, because we DON'T know!

#7 Back to the article: I wonder what the cleric says when a quake hits a Muslim city, like in Iran, or the tsunami in Indonesia. Those events certainly killed a lot more people than the Icelandic volcanoes.

#8 That's easy, Rambler - he says allen is punishing the moslems in those places for not being ~~insane~~ moslem enough.

No, actually we have a pretty good idea.
