#2 Go check out the photo! I never thought of lightning (big time lightning) as part of a volcanic eruption.

#3 Do they realize how many tons of CO2 this thing is throwing into the atmosphere??? It must be stopped immediately! Save us, O Goreacle!

#4 Rambler, I think that's actually S02, sulfer dioxide. I don't know what impact S02 has on the climate but I remember when Mt. Pinatubo last erupted in the Philippines we had some glorious sunsets.

#5 According to Wikipedia (I know, I know), volcanoes eject C02 as well as SO2, and bunch of other stuff. My point was that a natural event like this can do as much damage or more than any puny thing that humans can do.

#6 DIBS! On selling them Carbon Credits!

Maybe I should send Washington State a bill for a few billion $ for carbon credits for the Mt. St. Helens eruption eh? They're so ~~stupid~~ guilt-ridden they might even pay it....

#7 Chile signed the Kyoto Treaty, so this volcano won't adversely affect the environment one bit.
