Gosh, Iceland sits atop the mid-Atlantic ridge where seafloor spreading has been going on long enough the separate the Americas from Europe and Africa. Iceland despite the name is relatively ice free, unlike Greenland which isn't green and is covered in ice. Why do reporters fall for this stuff? It only serves to destroy credibility of AGW's. Or is that the intention? |

Iceland has a large (relative to its size) permanent ice filed. BUT the current eruption is nowhere near the ice field. As you say some journalists get things so wrong you have to ask "Where is their common sense?". Such headlines sit alongside another one about the same eruption to the effect that the eruption is on the main airport's land - well Cobber it's a few tens of km off either airport land or airport flight paths.

Just about everything you want to know about this eruption can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsRFmU7aUVo but as I write (day 10) the weather is too bad to see very much of the eruption. And for a volcanologists insight Prof Valentin Troll is on his way, https://www.youtube.com/c/ValentinTroll/videos |

And for those that say the current blanket of fog is caused by the volcano - "total rubbish". About ten years ago I had an unplanned overnight in Iceland due to thick fog covering the western third of the country. It should have been a couple of hours on the ground, but I was on the last long-haul in before the weather closed the doors, the aircraft that should have been my onward flight was diverted to somewhere else not in Iceland (Canada, Norway, Scotland?) I just hope the passengers on that flight (and all the other diverted flights) were treated as well as we were.

Those FACTs are MEANINGLESS To ME. My Breathing and Overall Health is Going to be SAME whether 100 Percent GREEN or 100 Percent FOSSIL. Now, if it Stayed as it Was in 1973 I'd Say NAY. WE are So Much Better Off Today Due to FOSSIL FUEL Use Becoming so MUCH CLEANER Now, it is Time for My DEEP BREATHING Exercises. SUPERBreath May we All have a METAMORPHOSIS. REASON.

So... Why are we investing in ANY new dirty old fossil fuel projects?! Just Stop Oil protests: Activists arrested over M25 services damage wrote: Police have arrested protesters after fuel pumps were damaged and activists glued themselves to service station forecourts on the M25... Are recent new projects in dirty old fossil fuels nothing more than pyramid schemes to generate stranded assets?...

What a continuing unnecessary mess?

Deny all you like, but due to climate change Australia's Black Summer bushfires were catastrophic enough. Now scientists say they caused a 'deep, long-lived' hole in the ozone layer. |

Wonder what Greta says about this ... 9,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent every day from this flare, the burning causes other significant issues ... flaring as the dominant source of black carbon deposition in the Arctic and any increases in flaring in this region are especially unwelcome... ... More a question is what the rest of the entire world will say and do...? And for how the Markets respond...? PooTin follows dirty echoes of Saddam Hussein?... Do we really have to destroy our planet for the sake of petty humans at war?... All on our only one planet... While we still have a beautiful planet...

We effectively did nothing and the result is; ‘Zombie ice’ from Greenland will raise sea level 10 inches Zombie ice from the massive Greenland ice sheet will eventually raise global sea level by at least 10 inches (27 centimeters) on its own, according to a study released Monday. |

Has Putin and the fossil fuels lobbyists won their war against our only one planet?... Energy bills to be capped at £2,500 for typical household wrote: ... The huge support scheme could cost up to £150,000 Million... Significantly absent from that is anything to boost making more (non-polluting) green energy available such as to bring forward any new wind or solar or tidal stream power. That £150,000 Million can completely independently power the UK a few times over with that (including power storage requirements). Worse still, funds are being removed from the existing green energy! And yet further into fantasy is that any of the fossil fuels expansion (and extra pollution) will be available soon enough to make any useful difference for this winter or for next year!! The biggest immediate short term wins are to reduce energy usage in the first place by being less wasteful. Better home and industrial insulation is an easy start upon doing that. A next big win is to IMMEDIATELY REQUIRE ALL new housing to be built to the better standards that were supposedly agreed years ago yet that are still not "voluntarily" implemented... Meanwhile, our planet burns... And this is our only one planet. Martin See new freedom: Mageia Linux Take a look for yourself: Linux Format The Future is what We all make IT (GPLv3) |
