Man Versus Volcano

Even as I write today, an orchestrated effort is taking place to blame man for climate change and impose a regulatory regime including cap and trade that will burden much of the world's population while enriching the few including Al Gore and General Electric immeasurably. Just how puny man's role is in altering the climate of the globe has been aptly illustrated by the recent volcanic eruption in Iceland. The BBC reporter stationed near the volcano said today that at the start of the eruption, the volcano was spewing "five hundred (500) tonnes" of pollution into the atmosphere per second. A vulcanologist in another report said that more contaminants had reached the atmosphere from the single Iceland event than all man's activity in Europe since the start of the Industrial Revolution. It should be apparent that man's meager ability to influence climate is dwarfed by a single action of the Lord.
