DON'T MISS THIS ARTICLE - OUR CLIMATE - A MUST READ AND SHARE

Ian Rutherford Plimer (born 12 February 1946) is an Australian geologist, academic and businessman, and professor of mining geology at the University
of Adelaide . You may appreciate his letter to climate change alarmists.

Okay, here's the bombshell.
The volcanic eruption in Iceland , since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE
EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet - all of you.

Of course you knowabout this evil carbon ioxide that we are trying to suppress - it's that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to
live and grow, and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans, and all animal life.

I know, it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and
expense of driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kid's "The Green Revolution" science project,
throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your
SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearlygetting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cents light bulbs with
$10.00 light bulbs . . . well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just four days.

The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four days - yes - FOUR DAYS ONLY by that volcano in Iceland , has totally erased every single
effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud any one time - EVERY DAY.

I don't really want to rain on your parade any more, but I should mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it
spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in its entire YEARS on earth. Yes folks, Mt Pinatubo was
active for over one year – think about it.

Of course I shouldn't spoil the touchy-feely tree-hugging crowd's fun and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized
800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keep happening, despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.

And I shouldn't remind the good greenies that there have been four or five ice ages in the earth's history, with warming inbetween every time.

And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the brush fire season across the western USA and
Australia this year alone will negate all efforts to reduce carbon in our atmosphere. And it happens every year.

Yet your government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you last year on the basis of the bogus "human-caused" climate change scenario.

By the way, isn't it interesting how they don't mention "Global Warming" any more, but just "Climate Change." You know why? It's because the planet has COOLED
by 0.7 degrees in the past century and the global warming con artists got caught with their pants down once their phony data and computer models were scrutinized.

Keep in mind, though, that you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme - aka a whopping new tax - imposed on you, that will achieve absolutely
nothing except make you poorer. It won't stop volcanoes from erupting, that's for sure.

But hey, relax, give the world a hug and have a nice day!

PS: I wonder if Iceland is buying carbon offsets?
