I never said you shouldn't, I was just disputing the fact that Lira is some kind of lyrical God with more than a little tongue in cheek :gsmile: |
LIES! You implied far more than that!
On the other hand, Lira IS a lyrical god. Except, he doesn't believe in god, or gods. So, he's a lyrical gangster.
And if he has his tongue... wherever... well that's none of my damn business! |

next is something completely different who no one could have guessed.
whos gonna pay for the the CO2 emissions tradings? |
I would guess, in this case, it would be put on hold or disregarded, because human lives take precedence over environmental righteous causes in times of disasters. |

Copied and pasted from a conversation I had:
Contrary to what one would naturally assume about a volcano eruption (that it is hot and emits a lot of gasses and thus, contributes to global warming,) volcanoes ACTUALLY cool the earth and offset the warming because of their aerosols. Volcanoes emit a lot of material into the air (which is why flights are being held down to begin with) and all of these particles (even dust and ash) are called aerosols. These aerosols effectively prevent a large portion of solar radiation from reaching the Earth's surface (because they are not reflective like the gasses) and as such, allow the Earth to cool.
With this being said, they may dismiss Icelands C02 emission entirely because arguably, the amount of C02 will not reflect how much 'heating' is occurring. Conversely, they may measure both C02 and the aerosol levels and figure it out from that.
On a somewhat related note, there are some proposals for trying to prevent global warming in which they would generate aerosols and distribute them into the troposphere intentionally. |

allthough you are right about the aerosols and all, the Icelandic volcano will do next to nothing to the earth's climate. the aerosols won't go high enough to be of much significance. the climate will only be affected if the aerosols reach the stratosphere which is between 10 to 15 km above ground. eruptions of volcano's closer to the equator, like the pinatubo, have a much higher change of affecting our climate. the air currents there bring the aerosols into the stratosphere where it can spread over the world and thus temperatures can drop for years. |
