Despite grounding 100,000 flights across Europe , battering a beleaguered airline industry, stranding hundreds of thousands of travellers, disrupting schools and businesses, and giving homes under flight paths their first peace and quiet in decades, the current volcano eruption may be only a teaser of chaos to come.
A far bigger Icelandic volcano, Katla, is tipped to erupt in the coming months, potentially causing much more savage and sustained disruption to industry and society. Eyjafjallajokull erupted on 14 April, forcing European governments to impose a no-fly zone. Each time Eyjafjallajokull has erupted in the past 2,000 years in 920, in 1612 and between 1821 and 1823 Katla has exploded within six months.

Heyup.
But will the people look away from their Iphones long enough to notice?
No, lying sonofabitches in the White House.
Wasn’t there a video last week that showed a meteor falling that lit up the night sky ?
“sooooo...if earthquakes are caused by slutty women...what causes volcanoes to erupt???”
Ummmm....Europe screwing Iceland in the financial meltdown Iceland had and is still in the middle of. Looks like the Euro-peons are feeling the payback.
Sure they did, but they paid a high cost in famine, population dislocations, and other ruination.
They also didn't have a materially advanced culture, dependent on massive interconnections and high technology, like we do today. Look at what just a few days of air travel disruptions did to Western Europe.
I've read that the last time these two volcanoes erupted, it went on for two years. At least one of those years has been dubbed, "the year without a summer". The 1793 eruption caused the global temperature to drop so hard, that the Mississippi froze clear down to New Orleans.
Yes, people will survive such a cataclysm, but it's gonna be painful.
slutty men.
I actually think the plume over Europe was God intervening in some nasty Islamic doings, or preventing a plan of some other diabolical nature....shutting down the air travel..tsk tsk...who do people thing they are fooling with!
A second eruption might put a damper on some of Hussein 0bama’s plans. Something to think about.
It might kill any Cap and Trade B S.
Third, the world will surely end.
Speaking of Urkel, isn't he working in the White House these days?
Bush Warming.
It’s all Bjork’s fault. The volcanos and Iceland bank failures.
I’ve tried to tell my friends this, but will they believe it? But NOooooooooo.
Yeah....when the earth moves, the timing I think is His. As well as where.

Iceland is a country of volcanoes and one of the greatest eruptions has been via the Laki volcano in 1783.
Iceland is an island of volcanoes spreading right across its landscape and even extending beneath the sea. Many of the volcanoes of Iceland have erupted and been active during its history. In Icelands most recent history the massive eruption of the Laki volcano in 1783 caused one of the greatest disasters in living history.
The Laki volcano eruption occurred in the June of 1783 in Iceland killing many thousands and spreading a massive haze that covered most of Europe and parts of North America. This cloud was even reported to have extended into Asia and North Africa.
In its wake, the Laki Volcano eruption, although beginning in Iceland created widespread famine across Europe when the weather pattern changed so dramatically that it affected vital crops in the summer months and saw the loss of livestock.

Sure was. Came right on the heels of Obama making his ridiculous statement. And now this...
As bad as all this is, it will all pale in comparison if we hear "the second shot heard round the world".
Yeah....when the earth moves, the timing I think is His. As well as where
And a second volcanic eruption of greater magnatude might squash a lot of 0bama’s evil plans.
Thanks for the info on Laki. Let’s hope that one doesn’t blow, too.
slutty men girly men....
This whole situation is Katla-esque.
*rim shot*
