The race is on to make another planet habitable ... turning one into a garbage scow apparently isnt enough for the powers that be .. All we can do as humans with conscience is to teach our children to reduce reuse recycle in the hope that humans develop into more enviromentally responsible species
When Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted in 1991, this effect was said to have cooled global temperatures over the next year, which inspired speculation about artificially pumping sulfur into the stratosphere as part of a "geo-engineering" effort to counteract global warming.
Volcanoes are also frequently mentioned as a driver of observed, long-term global warming, because they emit the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, although not as much as human industry. That leaves a cool summer as the likeliest possible legacy of the Iceland eruption.
But if Pinatubo, which was vastly more powerful, only affected the weather for a year, things in Iceland will have to get seriously worse if they are to have any measurable global effects.
Whats more relevent is the effects on world trade & the global economy !
