I think they were planning a tax on air soon, so this could be a supplementary tax to the breathing tax.

what next?

Funny but we are told to reduce our CO2 emissions which is fine (but we get taxed on it anyway) then a great big ferking Volcano erupts causing more CO2 than we could ever make in our cars. I think we are still insignificant compared to mother nature.

Big volcanic eruptions normally result in a dip in global tempratures due to the huge amounts of sulphur released into the atmosphere.

It would actually be interesting for someone in the scientific community to do a real analysis of the amount of CO2 pumped into the atmosphere from this!

I think you are spot on as I would put a decent wedge (say a 450 SEAC wink )on the fact it would really put all this environmental guilt trip crap we are subjected to into a real perspective!

Is that why it is so blinking cold at the moment?

I read in another thread on here that global volcanic activity produces far less CO2 each year than humans do. I think it was about 10% of what we produce. I'm no volcanologist though so I don't have any figures to back it up!

i just read in a national paper that we should stock up with scarfs and coats, as the recent cold winter could be the first of many. so all of you who bought small cars, SEE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE.
