Let me get this straight. Volcanoes release sulfur, a pollutant, into the atmosphere, it reflects sunlight into space, thus cooling the planet. Then why are we removing sulfur from our fuels?........

One of the noxious volcanoes in the early 1980s created a maintenance headache for the airlines.

The large amount of sulfur thrown into the upper atmosphere created a lot of sulphuric acid that was scoring the windows on passenger jets, and customers were complaining about it.

They had to shorten the window polishing cycle.

Probably painting, too.

Any sulfur released from the surface never makes it to the upper atmosphere to form sulfuric acid and block sunlight. It's just a pollutant.

Ozone is similar-ozone in the upper atmosphere blocks UV, making life possible, but Ozone at the surface is an irritating pollutant.

Lissen Badger, we don't pay you to think. This kind of talk will earn you a bunk in the Hillary-Gore Re-Education Center after the election.
