The ignorance of "experts" never ceases to amaze me.
A number of people have made comments similar to this over the last couple of days
"A bonus of the flight ban is that it has stopped emission of millions of tonnes of carbon dioxide."
Of course, that does ignore the actual CO2 emissions of the actual volcano itself, conservatively estimated to be 6 times the amount "saved" by grounding planes in Europe. Then you have to add to that the CO2 put out by having to move people around by alternate means- cars, trains and naval ships- which is bound in the end to approximate or even exceed the CO2 "saved".
