    How about that volcano?

    Iceland's Eyjafjallajökull volcano is pumping enough ash into the skies over Europe to disrupt air travel, anyone know if there is enough ash being pumped out to reduced seasonal warming and give us a "year without a summer "?

    Well, Scandinavia doesn't get summer anyway right? :p

    What is even more wild (and damn annoying) is that whenever it erupts, it has a tendency to wake up it's bigger companion, an even larger volcano nearby. If that erupts we're going to see disturbances in air traffic for the next few years. Not a total shutdown, but periodic disturbances...

    Damn that pesky nature!

    Actually, this volcano is quite annoying as it has completely paralysed Europe' airfare-.

    I know it's inevitable that it is my fault but I'm waiting to hear why.

    It's going to cost a shitload of money.

    Some of the video and pictures are amazing.
    I heard a report that stated it could (and has in the past) go on like this for weeks at a time.
