I haven't discussed this yet, but what is happening in Europe right now with the grounding of air travel due to an Icelandic volcano eruption is fascinating. Volcanic ash melts at the temperature in a jet engine which sucks in air, where volcanic ash was one of ancient Rome's secret ingredients for concrete. Hence why planes are grounded, backlogged, and chaos has ensued. Given how many volcanoes there are globally, this kind of effect is somewhat concerning.
I thought that Charles Adler had a really funny take on this on his Friday show, asking when Suzuki and Gore will bring their hammer of Thor down on Iceland for not controlling their volcanoes. The concern is legit, because a volcano can put more pollution in the atmosphere in 7 days than the oil sands will in 70 years. If we are concerned about global warming, we need to seriously discuss economic sanctions on countries that don't cap their volcanoes. Why are volcano eruptions not covered under the Kyoto Accords? Iceland has wasted a century's worth "volcanic ash credits" in a few days.
But its not about weather! With globull warming, volcano ash is traped in the stratus fear because their is too much CO2. It's all in the Plan. Watch the movie again and you will see the inconvenient truth is a truth is a truth
ReplyDeleteScientists at Copenhagen were discussing ways to mimick the efffects of a vulcano, to cool the planet.
ReplyDeletePlanet earth seems to have provided the fix,eh.

But the scientists are already out there saying no no, it's not a big enough volcano to stop GW....yet

This is intolerable. Icelanders should be charged with eco-crime.

ReplyDeleteWhat is the UK high commission in Canada saying about this mess in Europe and how it affects Canada? They're always so busy gossiping about our politicians and running down our environmental policy because it "affects the whole world," I'd like to know why they aren't out assessing what this will do to Canada. Fair is fair.
