Now, let's address all these issues, shall we? First, if the winds persist and don't change over the next two weeks, then yes, maybe it will dip under Spain but if that is the case, the ash will be so thin that it won't even cause an overcast. So why scare people into believing it's the end of the world and a major sun black out is about to occur? Second, the ash WILL last up to two weeks but like I said by that time air space should be back to normal because of how thin the "cloud" will be by that time. This volcano is a hiccup in comparison to Mt. St-Helen or Vesuvius or anything that we've decided to take note of in human history in regards to volcanos. People are worried about climate change? Please. Vesuvius wiped out two cities and left ash hanging around for months and there was NOT a significant climate change, not even in Italy. Lastly, and possibly what I find the most hilarious, is that volcanos generally erupt twice during an eruption. The people of Pompeii saw Vesuvius erupt twice, the first time it spat up ash and rock in preparation for the big blow which happened a few days later. So here is my message: Meterologists, stop sucking up the media attention and turning this small, mini eruption into the end of the world. The planes will be down a few days and then the chaos will be over so calm down. Stop scaring people into thinking that airports will be closed till the end of time when in reality it will be a few inconvenient days and then everything will be back up and running as normal. Holy shit, does the news have to inflate everything?!
Now that I'm done, I'm going to not worry about my flight in the next three weeks and just continue to go on as planned. Unless there's another Yellowstone Super Volcano hiding underneath Iceland that explodes in the next three weeks then I am not going to blink an eye over this. Also, here are some hilarious comments I found underneath news posts, enjoy!

"Its been established that the pressure of icecaps on the polar regions eventually created an equilibrium.
With this year being a total meltoff, the lack of incredible glacier weight on the polar caps is suspected to have strong implications for tectonic plates & magma flows.
Translation: global climate chaos (yeah, from HUMANS) can actually cause, earthquakes & volcanic action."

With bulls**t like that, who needs comedy?
"It has been established..." By who? You?
"...a total meltoff...." Artic ice was at "near normal" levels this winter
etc, etc..
The erruption in 1820 was caused by SUVs as well, I suppose.
Please leave science to those who are qualified - you are not."

"How long till Al Queda takes credit for it?"

"Obviously, it's Bush's fault."

"Obviously its necessary to throw in a few virgins. Who knows, maybe 20 French tramps might equal 1 virgin. Much easier to find."

"Blame the Bush Administration and the Republican Party! It's there fault the Volcano exploded. Let's blame them for everything. Heck that's what Obama does and the Democrats do! Every time something bad happens, lets blame Bush. My car caught fire, Blame Bush. My cat died, blame Bush. Sounds good to me!"

"Folks I admit. It is my fault. I road my quad in the desert and caused climate change. So sorry."

"Will all Volcanos please exit the Walmart."
Thank you and Goodnight!
