Vocanos are horrible for the environment

Yes. They should be outlawed.

Clearly we need to cut man-made emissions even more drastically...volcanic emission offsets, ya know.

Has anybody ask Big Al Gore what his thoughts are on this? (Big Al could be the poster child for partial birth abortion)

Actually, volcanic eruptions tend to cool the earth, rather than the other way round (cf. 1816, “The Year Without a Summer”, a.k.a. “Eighteen-hundred-and-froze-to-death”).

What a bloody stupid statement (not yours, the title of the post). Volcanoes are part of the environment. They are a natural and necessary part of the planet's renewal. In places like New Zealand and Hawaii you can practically put a dead stick in the ground and watch it grow because it's in volcanic soil. Volcanoes make life on this speck of dust possible.

The ultimate hypocrisy of these "environmentalists" is that they are a death cult unwilling to lead the way by pulling their own plugs. They want everybody else dead imagining that they can then go out a take pictures of all the pretty animals without being bothered by the "crowds". In other words, they're insane.

The best comment a few weeks ago, after a man died falling into a volcanic crater: “Volcanoes are dangerous! In fact they are so dangerous that we just ought to bulldoze them flat!”

Where are the U.N. investigators? That vocano is a wordwide probem.

Great point, however, they do come with nasty gases and such...

All environmentalists should go jump into the volcano and try to plug it up and save the world!

Volcanoes are horrible for the environment.

Volcanoes ARE the environment !

If the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull continues, there is MAJOR concern it could trigger off the eruption of the nearby Katla volcano, which has a much larger caldera. An eruption of Katla would result in Mt. Pinatubo-level output of ash and gases, and that will result in a cooling of the Northern Hemisphere that could be nearly as bad as the "Year Without Summer" of 1816.

Quick, zero and his cronies better tax it!

Anybody know where I can buy some "Stop Vuncanism Now!!" bumper stickers?
