Iceland volcano

[Peter Lemkin]

Just watching the chaos caused by the volcano erupting in far away Iceland. It may just be starting and this could go for some time yet. This is already causing immense difficulties for stranded travelers and it is also making big dents in the profits of the airline industry. I recall that the dust from Krakatoa also upset the photosynthesis and harvests in many places for a couple of years afterward and I wonder if this is going to do the same for the European summer crops and what that means in after effects as this will effect everyone though not Cubans though as they are 100% food secure and probably out of the range of damage.

Kind of a taste of nuclear winter without the radiation?

Part of me wonders if there isn't some old Icelandic god that is pissed off with the events in that part of the world

This is MUCH, MUCH smaller than Krakatoa!!!!! It will all blow-over in a few days, most likely. One can't predict the length of an eruption, but most in Iceland do not go on for long...and are tiny, compared to explosive events such as Krakatoa. However, high-technology is very vulnerable to old-fashioned things, like volcanoes! :vroam:
