Information is beautiful gets the CO2 emission figures for the volcano wrong, their graph goes viral. Apologies and new visual here - way less extreme than the first.
I have the impression people coming back from overland trips happy for the adventure, challenge, poetry of an out-of-time journey will go back on a plane as soon as the authorities allow it. Still, I'm wondering if the landslide of offers on carpooling websites will increase in the long term the number of people using this kind of transport, maybe for shorter distances.
Whoa pictures of the volcano, here.
WMO says the effect of the eruption on global warming will be "very insignificant" (too small, too low, too sparse), and could only affect the regional climate if it went on for years. here.
It's sad to notice, though, how financial crisis, depressions, natural disasters are among our biggest achievements in terms of climate change mitigation. The fact that we could consider these disruptions as success stories is the biggest evidence for the unsustainability of our economies.
