All that ash and smoke, from the volcano no one but Icelandic people can pronounce, more CO2 than mankind has ever produced since the Industrial Age. Not just CO2 - according to San Diego State University, when Mount Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it shoved so much Sulfur Dioxide into the atmosphere that the Earth's temperature dropped an average two degrees for two years. And MAN had nothing to do with it, unless we caused the eruption.
All that cap and trade won't help much. I suppose you can force nature to abide by your inspidily idiotic ideas. If you can, by all means, confront nature about the aging process. Stop it, not just slow it down, reverse it.
Otherwise, select your arguments wisely. If mankind had not emitted any of that stuff into the atmosphere - that one volcano would have brought us even with current measures. So you may respond - well, even more reason to hurry up and stop emitting - nature is already doing it and we need to cut down. Silly. Another volcano will be erupting within the next year emitting at least the same amount into the atmosphere. Mankind in our entire history on earth will never have contributed so much. And that ignores the volcanos several years from now.
We will be lucky if a lot does not change - lower temperatures, less sun for those sun-starved people ...
Now we start to see the response - study after study after EPA argue the contrary about CO2 emissions. And so we will have to gather up all the studies from all the universities (5 so far) who argue it did emit tremendous amounts, more than man has produced since industry began, and line them up against each other and decide. Oh wait, we already did that with global warming and Al Gore won a prize.
