Nearly all Western European flights have been cancelled due the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull (ay-yah-FYAH'-plah-yer-kud-duhl) volcano in Iceland. People have been hoping that they'll be able to get airborne by Sunday or Monday. However the last time this volcano erupted, it lasted for 14 months (Dec. 1821-Jan. 1823). That would have a devastating impact on the economy and ecology of Europe. It gets even worse when noted that the lava flow could trigger an eruption in the neighboring volcano which could trigger a major temperature drop across the globe.
It should also be noted that this volcano has now put more CO2 and pollution into the atmosphere than every car in Europe since the automobile was invented.
Anthropological GW... bah!
