Eyjafjallajökull Is Back And It's About To Spew Another Massive Cloud Again

The Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajokull, that grounded much of Northern Europe's air activity previously, is set to emit a massive new cloud of ash.
AFP:
A plume of ash measuring up to seven kilometers (more than four miles) high had been detected at the Eyjafjoll volcano, said a statement from the Icelandic Met Office and Institute of Earth Science.
"The eruption has changed back to an explosive eruption, lava has stopped flowing and most of the magma gets scattered due to explosions in the crater," said the statement in English.
"The ash plume rises high above the crater (4-7 km) and considerable ash fall can be expected in wind direction. No signs of the eruption ending soon."

More ash clouds, and disruptions, won’t help an already shaky European economy.

I wonder if the much bigger and much worse sister volcano is working on spewing too. That’s the one I dread.

Just a matter of time before AlGore and the UN try to fine Iceland for causing "global climate change" by polluting the atmosphere with ash and smoke.
(sarcasm)Maybe AlGore can sell them some carbon credits!

Don’t think it originated with me - I think I’ve seen it before. Still funny though.

Quick! Where can I buy ash credits? Where is the government plan to sequester ash? If I buy a brand new mountain, is there any government backed insurance that will prevent ash?

Eyjafjallajokull roughly translated means...

Hold on a second...
They’re producing something, so doesn’t the VAT apply?
Then they can “help” Greece.

Not a good idea. They we’d get a dumb ash cloud.
