    Question Has the Icelandic superweapon brought us this good weather?

    DR and I were just discussing how there's not a single cloud in the sky. Is there any evidence to suggest this is due to the test firing of Iceland's genesis device?

    The opposite; the stable high pressure system in the area means that the ash from the superweapon won't go away!

    That's what they WANT you to think. The truth is that Iceland's genesis device has created the high pressure system... it all makes sense now.

    It's all global warming's fault, apparently, as is everything else. http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...land-volcanoes

    I think Bracewell's Oblivion Continuum went off when he was holidaying over there and they're trying to keep it hushed up.. [/anorak]

    It's the lack of planes polluting the atmosphere I tells you.

    Ban all cars and all polluting industry and we'll have beautiful warm weather all year round. It's logic, but not as we know it.

    If a butterfly flaps its wings, it creates hurricanes.

    So if people all fire up their PCs at once in China, does it cause a volcano to erupt in Iceland. I mean after all Icelanders shouldn't be so brazen about and attack as to have it clearly originate in their homeland.

    now given my theory which I'm sure is as valid as those global warning people's, I demand funding, and other such.

    Anyone who disagrees with me is obviously on the payroll of the oil firms and should not be listened too.

    Bit of a stretch... Has there ever been a geology paper which demonstrates high-pressure solidification? Conventional wisdom says the inverse is true.
