Robert the pictures in the first link both the volcano and the power station were emitting steam vapor as clearly demonstrated by the pictures.

Can anyone please tell me either exactly or near as....What is the minimum ammout of CO2 output that a single person should be emitting and at what level of exsistance that would be at.....be honest we live in a very fast paced eco system with high technology and a drive for further industrial developments e.g. Solar powered hot water , wind turbines these we only have as a secondary base usage lately, do we stop moving forward to reduce our pollution! No matter what we reduce our output too as long as our population grows the output grows!
The only thing the tax will do is make the government look good because it can say.....Look at how much we are giving you back

Philo you made a quite specific claim "The calulated CO2 given off in Iceland in recent volcanic emmissions in 5 days was equal to the total emmissions given by the human population in the last 5 years."

I've provided links which make it clear that claim is very unlikely. Do you have a credible resource to back up the claim you made about the calculated CO2 given off by that volcanic eruption?

Robert,
Observeable atmospheric pollution.

The claim that the grounded aircraft because of the Islandic volcanic emmissions produced less CO2 proves by such conclusions that planes cannot fly in the Northern Hemisphere because of the pollution they create. Nonsense!

Philo, you made a very specific claim about calculated rates of CO2 emissions which appears to be blatently false. An observed impression from a video clip does not equate to the specific claim you made.

Planes get grounded because of the volcanic ash in the air, not because of CO2 in the atmosphere. Volcanic ash and jet engines make a nasty mix, one explaination at http://www.nanowerk.com/spotlight/spotid=21544.php which is consistant with what I've read elsewhere.

Do you have a credible basis for the specific claim you made about CO2 emissions from the volcano compared to 5 years of human CO2 emissions or did you just make it up?

MickC "What is the minimum ammout of CO2 output that a single person should be emitting and at what level of exsistance that would be at"

that is one of those "who cares" questions....

simply because, when you have found out, what are you going to do with the answer

kill off or tax to death any one who dares output more?
