Exactly what we DON’T need right now - an agent for additional cooling, given the cold temps of the last few months.

Great pic! Sure is. Look at the vortex patterns along the southern edge of the plume, for example.

What do you suppose Algore wants to do about this?
Greenhouse gas, anyone?

What do you suppose Algore wants to do about this? He's jumping for joy, at least for the time being he's got an excuse on why the earth is cooling. This in his mind could buy him more time to sell more carbon credits and pass more laws.

Look at the vortex patterns along the southern edge of the plume, for example.Isn't the plume just drifting with the ambient airmass? If so, why are there vortex patterns?

Maybe we need to sacrifice a Goron to the evil volcano god trying to freeze us with another ice age?

Isn't the plume just drifting with the ambient airmass? If so, why are there vortex patterns? If I had to guess, I'd say that the plume is caught up one air current (perhaps a jet stream?) and the vortices are forming along the boundary between that current and a different air mass that is either static, or moving the other direction.
