The funny thing is that in just a few hours, the volcano probably spewed more CO2, particulates, and other harmful "unnatural" gases into the atmosphere than the US creates in a decade. Where's Al Gore when we need him? We need a tax on volcano emissions which we can spend on clever ways to turn rainforest into inedible corn cropland because we need the carbon credits to offset the volcano.
Alternatively we could use Al Gore's inflated ego to plug the volcano... Just stuff his fat donut in there and we'd be saved from two dangerous sources of hot air
