Carbon Emissions
This article has been submitted by a GrownUps member. GrownUps accepts no liability for its content and the views and information contained within are not necessarily those of the GrownUps website.
It appears to me, although I am not a scientist, that the amount of gas and ash spewed out of the Icelandic Volcano eruption has not only caused the grounding of thousands of flights world wide but has generated more CO2 emmissions in the last week than the total human population would generate in the next 10 years.
When the Kyoto Protocols on Global warming were set the idiots in all the worlds governments did not factor into their deliberations the catastrophic effect that a volcanic eruption would have on any emissions trading scheme.
Is Iceland now in a massive Debt for this eruption generated in their country?
A good point to ponder.

In every 2,600 molecules of air, only one is CO2. Of the CO2 molecules only one in 33 is produced by humans. Thus, in every 85,800 molecules of air only one is a molecule of CO2 produced by humans. That this can warm Earth is nonsense. That the UN IPCC and the federal government (and NZ Government) want us to believe that in every 85,800 molecules of air, a single CO2 molecule produced by humans warms the planet yet the other 32 produced by Nature does not is insane.
