Icelandic Volcanic Eruption - Significant Disruption to UK Flights

[jamie2497]

Jacob warned us this would happen if it escaped from the island!

Girls dad is supposed to be flying away to Maliga at tea time from Glasgow. been reading some flights are getting to go from Glasgow is this true does anyone know?

Not quite sure. Flights from Glasgow and Northern Ireland have a clear window west to Canada and the US.

Malaga is South. So it can't fly through UK controlled airspace, unless it flies South over the Atlantic. Also France have a similar no fly zone too, noit sure about Spain.

Also commerical flights stick to authorised routes and radio beacons. They don't generally freely fly anywhere in the skies.

Edit: In case of somekind of doomsday scenario I have just setup a tinfoil hat factory in my lounge.

What is it with all these natural disasters at the moment.. There has been a steady rise in eruptions and floods and things. Must be the earth warming up?

its all the oil n gas there taking from underground lol
the earth is trying to shrink like a prune hahaha

Don't say that, it gives them an excuse to raise taxes.

i dont know whats worse the reduced co2 emissions from the planes or eruption

Yes, it's going to erupt at 18:43 on the 27th April. Don't make any plans.

I hope not as that's my birthday and I'm off work that week

Latest Volcanic Ash Advisory:

Let's hope it gets better on Sunday.

 

[philstanbridge]

That's all fair and good but let us just hope this eruption doesn't spew more ice and glass and stuff into the atmosphere otherwise I can forsee travel chaos for weeks to come.

Maybe this will provoke more research into developing new engines that can possibly fly through these dust clouds?

the ash clouds are actually quite good for the atmosphere.. too an extent of course! it will reflect the light from the sun. Makes everything bloody freezing cold, but still!

Will this eruption have a visible effect on our climate? Like, crap summer then another cold winter?

Nah this one wont have much if any effect, but if Katla blows then we'll see some changes.

This one probably wont have much noticable effect at all.
However, if Katla erupts then its a different kettle of fish, id say you can kiss goodbye to summer this year.. and possibly next year.
you'll see a drop in temp. of around 4degrees C. (i think!)
which doesnt seem like much, but really is quite significant!

having to remember back to my studying days ^^

Nah, this one wont have much effect, but if Katla erupts, you'll see some changes.

 

[MisChief]

[Sone]

No, you wont see much difference from this one but if Katla erupts there will be some real changes.
