All of you out there in America and across the globe who have fought so hard to tackle the hideous enemy of our planet, namely carbon emissions, you know ....that bogus god you worship of "Climate Change" or "global warming" ....well, I feel it is necessary to inform you of some bad news. It really does pain me to have to bring you this disappointing information.
Are you sitting down?
Okay, here's the bombshell. The current volcanic eruption going on in Iceland, since its first spewing of volcanic ash this past week, has, to this point, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet.
I know, I know.... (group hug)...it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of: driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up til midnight to finish your kid's "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, going on vacation to a city park instead of Yosemite, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your $1 light bulbs with $10 light bulbs ...well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just the past four days.
The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in the past four days has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon.
I'm so sorry. And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the brush fire season across the western U.S.A. will start in about two months and those fires will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two years.
But hey, grab a Coke, give the world a hug and have a nice day!

I love Mother Nature. She's just not politically correct.

Interesting when science comes to the rescue from rational retardation
I tried to fact check the argument, but no data or sources are linked.
If you'd care to look at some actual numbers (http://bit.ly/bxt8pZ), it is estimated that the volcano is pumping out about 150-300,000 tons of CO2 per day. Compare that to the 440,000 tons of CO2 produced by the European aviation industry every day. So for the period when flights were grounded, there was actually a net drop in CO2 production.
As for negating all efforts to curb carbon production over the past 5 years? At just one third of 1 percent of total global CO2 emmisions, the volcano comes nowhere close to doing so. Increased efficencies in the US auto industry alone has made up the difference.
And even if this were the type of killer volcano that would increase world temperature by 10 degrees, does that mean we should give up and push it to 11? I would suggest not.
Thank you very much jimspice for a breath of fresh reality to this obviously deluded and negative view which I for one am regretting reading as I will never get those precious seconds of my life back.
