supposed to be flying to Iceland on next Sunday, done some googling but should everything be okay by then?
Flights might be depends on how much ash is thrown out into the atmosphere, but if Katla erupts....

whats the reason behind beautiful sunsets after the volcanic eruption?
so looks like my dad won't be coming home today afterall... volcano has ruined my bday![]()
i dont know whats worse the reduced co2 emissions from the planes or eruption![]()
Maybe this will provoke more research into developing new engines that can possibly fly through these dust clouds?
There was some quite interesting reports post 9/11 about how the reduced Air Travel for those few days in 2001 did have some kind of measurable affect on the environment. Will dig out links when I get home!

Aparently volcanic dust can strip Car paint at 80-90 mph. So dread to think what happens to a 747 at 550mph with 4 engines full of glass.

Will this eruption have a visible effect on our climate? Like, crap summer then another cold winter?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35988484/ns/technology_and_science-science/Iceland's Laki volcano erupted in 1783, freeing gases that turned into smog. The smog floated across the Jet Stream, changing weather patterns. Many died from gas poisoning in the British Isles. Crop production fell in western Europe. Famine spread. Some even linked the eruption, which helped fuel famine, to the French Revolution. Painters in the 18th century illustrated fiery sunsets in their works.The winter of 1784 was also one of the longest and coldest on record in North America. New England reported a record stretch of below-zero temperatures and New Jersey reported record snow accumulation. The Mississippi River also reportedly froze in New Orleans.
I wonder if this is how the Icelandic people get their vengeance for the UK freezing their assets ?
I have an odd vision of the Icelandic PM pressing a button under his desk to set the volcano away.
Well at least (most of you) haven't just had your weekend shafted.
I'm stuck in Dusseldorf by the looks of it, with sod all to do

Well, what do you expect? First their banks collapse with all our money, and now this. And do we get an apology? Do we Hell!
Sod all to do? You could vist the Hetjens Museum! (or get a train to Amsterdam)
