Plenty of CO2 released as well, though. I'm guessing any effect will be marginal.

True, but it still sucks it happened exactly this week. I've got some friends supposed to come over from the UK and their flight is cancelled.

First those Icelandic steal our money, now they ban us from flying. :lay:

Perhaps we need to appease the mountain god. Can we sacrifice all the priests?
