#1 Adding more heat to the planet, which will be included in the (man-made) global warming numbers.

#2 Actually, the smoke will work to cool the planet. Also, any lava that flows from the volcano will increase the size of the island so it will not sink due to global warming and rising sea levels. An inconvenience for those who are forced to evacuate but they'll return to a bigger island when the volcano settles down.

#4 And think of the fund raising opportunities, perhaps I dare say...

#5 The magma released also heats the ocean, and not man-made CO2, resulting in Cat 5 hurricanes and typhoons. Acts of God must be frustrating the control freaks to no end--how to tax and regulate them must be exhausting especially when the playgrounds of the world's elites are being destroyed. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and hurricanes, oh, my!

#6 Not to bring facts to the hysterical argument about environmental legislation but a single volcanic eruption can belch more particulate, NOx, CO2, CO, SO2, etc, into the atmosphere than all of the cars, coal fired furnaces, power plants, steam engines, and baroque pits that have ever existed produced.

Volcanoes and the sun are the prime movers in our planets climate, not SUVs or lawnmowers.

#8 Just spitballing, but has anybody tried throwing AlGore into the volcano to appease Gaia? Cuz it might not work, but it's still a win-win

#9 I'm pretty sure you need a virgin for that trick to work, Frank. But it is worth a try. Do it for the children!
