Press Fast to Point Out: Volcano Won’t Slow Global Warming

Global Warming doesn’t exist except in the minds of eco-worshipping zealots who want to see the government tax the very air you breathe. But in the Global Warming mythos, volcanoes are supposed to cause global cooling. So for those desperate to hold onto the quickly crumbling myth that was shattered by the leaked climate-gate emails, they are quick to deny that this latest eruption under the Eyjafjallajokull glacier will have any impact.

From Reuters here:

A vast cloud from an intensifying volcanic eruption in Iceland is too small so far to slow global warming as happened in 1991 with the explosion of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines, experts say.

Cataclysmic eruptions, led by Pinatubo and Mount Chichon in Mexico in 1982 in the 20th century, spewed so much debris into the upper atmosphere that they cooled the planet for months, briefly offsetting the effect of industrial heat-trapping gases.

“This is not like Pinatubo. So far the scale is not big enough to have a global effect,” said Hans Olav Hygen, a climate researcher at the Norwegian Meteorological Institute.

Okay, so a huge volcanic eruption that paralized air travel across Europe is too small to impact the climate. But cows farting in Nebraska does have an impact. See how they play this game?
