BBC News - New Icelandic volcano eruption could have global impact

 

[Brovion]

Are volcanic eruptions generally considered 'good' or 'bad' for global warming and/or climate change? Not fishing, that's a genuine question.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Hopefully not. I am supposed to be picking up my ladyfriend from America on Monday morning and don't fancy losing her to the Yanks any longer than I have to.

 

[ees complicated no?]

well I hope it blows after I come back from holiday in jan

I think it would be GOOD, in that the mahoosive ash cloud will send the rays of the sun back from whence they came.

(I'm guessing)

 

[Easy 10]

Its getting a bit ridiculous now. If this erupts, then its time to implement some sanctions against Iceland to get them to sort their bloody volcanos out. We can't go on like this. They've had 80 YEARS notice ffs.

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

It's being mooted that as Iceland straddles the North Atlantic Ridge (fault line), the consequence of Katia blowing could be the island being split in two and sinking beneath the waves, a bit like Atlantis.

What is the point of Iceland? It just disrupts everyone's holidays, loses everyone's money, and inflicts Bjork on the world. Prime location for a nuclear test, if you ask me.

It does have one useful purpose as an emergency landing spot for transatlantic flights.

 

[Gangsta]

Yes. Buy tinned stuff now.

No, I was expecting a sordid story about Ronnie Wood's Ex!!

but release lots of CO2, which is bad m'kay. if its a dark ash cloud it will absorb sunlight?

 

[Gazwag]

I blame Kerry Katona

Bad, because they release HUGE amounts of Greenhouse Gases.

A guaranteed 2 wins if you draw them in the World Cup qualifying?
