The combined effects may result in a shortened agricultural growing season in the northern hemisphere, with adverse effects on food prices.

The UK Met Office has released a vivid series of images that show the Eyjafjallajokull volcano intensifying.
In the satellite pictures, which use infrared wavelengths, the ash plume appears as bright orange colours spreading out from the volcano.
The plume gradually increased in size over a period of approximately six hours on Thursday morning.
This animation is made up of a series of 13 images captured every 30 minutes from 0600 BST.
The Met Office confirmed that activity from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano had been increasing since Wednesday night, taking the ash plume to a height over 30,000 ft.

The volcano and the greek peasants are still erupting.
There’s that global warming again for you. /sarc
Has looked to me like another vent was opening much closer toward the base of the glacier.
I suppose all this could mean that the bigger companion volcano—bigger—that
ALWAYS in recorded history has erupted within 6 months of this one
really is likely to get lit off, too.
thanks.
And they thought “boobquake” was joke. Look what they’ve done!!
Couldn’t the ash plume be absorbing heat from the Sun hence the increase in infrared return?

Stupid volcano!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The combined effects may result in a shortened agricultural growing season in the northern hemisphere, with adverse effects on food prices.
By “combined effects” I meant the cooling effects of high-altitude volcanic ash plus the solar cycle effect.
...so allow me...
