    As UK goes further into the dept hole!!!

    The Icelandic volcano, which has brought travel chaos to Europe, is showing no signs of abating, scientists have said, raising the prospects of further days of flight bans across the continent and more misery for air travellers.

    The Eyjafjallajokull volcano began erupting on Wednesday, sending ash several kilometres into the air, and generating a plume of particles that has spread across much of Europe grounding thousands of aircraft.

    "There doesn't seem to be an end in sight," Magnus Tumi Gudmundsson, an Icelandic geologist monitoring the volcano, said on Saturday.

    "The activity has been quite vigorous…, causing the eruption column to grow," he told the Associated Press.

    At the same time, meteorologists have said the weather patterns blowing the massive plume of ash towards Europe will continue for at least two days and could go on until the middle of the week.

    Slow dispersal

    "Currently the UK and much of Europe is under the influence of high pressure, which means winds are relatively light and the dispersal of the cloud is slow," said Graeme Leitch, a meteorologist at Britain's National Weather Service.

    How ash can damage aircraft

    "We don't expect a great deal of change over the next few days."

    Scientists say that because the volcano is situated below a glacier, the magma is being cooled quickly, causing explosions and plumes of fine grit to be ejected high into the atmosphere.

    Together the combination of the eruption, the clouds of ejected ash and the prevailing weather conditions have brought European air travel grinding to a halt.

    Aviation experts say that the tiny particles of rock and glass spewed out by the volcano - while almost invisible to the naked eye - pose a serious threat to aircraft jet engines and could cause a catastrophic failure.

    As a result, countries across Europe have shut down all or part of their airspace, grounding tens of thousands of flights and stranding millions of passengers – both in Europe, and even as far afield as New Zealand and California.

    On Saturday some 17,000 flights across Europe were cancelled – a normal Saturday would have seen around 22,000 flights.

    Shutdown

    Among the latest developments, authorities in the UK, Germany and Ireland announced that the suspension on flights would be extended until at least 1200GMT on Sunday.
    The shutdown has turned departure boards red at airports across Europe [AFP]

    France meanwhile has said that all three main airports in the Paris area and several others across the north of the country would be closed until at least 0600GMT on Monday.

    Italy has also closed its airspace in the north of the country until at least 0600GMT on Monday while Poland said it was shutting its airspace "until further notice".

    The closure of Poland's airspace and the broader travel disruption has stopped world leaders from flying to the southern Polish city of Krakow for Sunday's funeral of the country's late president Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria.

    The Kaczynski couple were among 96 people, most of them senior Polish government figures, killed in a plane crash in Russia on April 10 on their way to a World War II memorial service.

    Authorities have permitted some low-level flights in the south of Poland, however, which is how the Polish Air Force will be able to ferry the Kaczynski's coffins from Warsaw to Krakow aboard a propeller-powered military cargo plane.

    With the prospect of further days of travel chaos, airlines and aviation officials have begun to look at ways to dodge the threat posed by the ash plume.

    In Germany, some low-level flights have been cleared under so-called visual flight rules, under which pilots do not rely on their instruments.

    On Saturday German carrier Lufthansa, Europe's largest airline, took advantage of those regulations to fly 10 empty planes from Munich into Frankfurt flying at a maximum height of 3,000 metres – less than a third of a jet's usual cruising height – and in close coordination with air traffic control.

    The airline said the move was to have the aircraft in the right place when the restrictions are finally lifted.

    Dutch airline KLM has also said it plans to carry out a test flight from Amsterdam's Schiphol airport to Dusseldorf, flying at 3,000 meters or lower, and is hoping for approval to carry out more low-altitude flights if the ash problem continues.

    Switzerland meanwhile has taken the opposite tack, saying it is looking at allowing flights to travel through Swiss air space as long as the aircraft stick to a height of at least 11,000 meters or above.

    As the grounding continues, the airline industry, still reeling from the impact of the global financial crisis, is facing daily losses of at least $200m, the International Air Transport Association has said.

    And with little sign of when the ash will clear, some airlines have said they may have to consider job lay-offs and other measures to deal with the financial impact.

    Crisis

    Al Jazeera's David Chater, reporting from southern Iceland close to the volcano, said that the simple fact was that nobody knows how long the eruption will last.

    "Vulcanology is a complex science, but it is not an exact science," he said.

    "We'll just have to wait and see."

    He said it was a real crisis for the aviation industry, but also for the people living near the slopes of the volcano whose land and farm animals are being poisoned by the thick clouds of ash.

    Edwin Zanen, a Dutch geologist who is in Iceland observing the volcano, said the inferno driving the eruptions had shown no sign of easing and was, if anything, growing in strength.

    "It's a real inferno we're looking at," he told Dutch state broadcaster NOS.

    "There's absolutely no sign that the thing is calming down. On the contrary, we can see that at this moment it's extraordinarily active."

    Interesting article...They'll be taxing us on water soon....!!!

    UK water use 'worsening global crisis'

    The amount of water used to produce food and goods imported to developed countries is worsening water shortages in the developing world, a report says.

    The report, focusing on the UK, says two-thirds of the water used to make UK imports is used outside its borders.

    The Engineering the Future alliance of professional engineering bodies says this is unsustainable, given population growth and climate change.

    It says countries such as the UK must help poorer nations curb water use.

    "We must take account of how our water footprint is impacting on the rest of the world," said Professor Roger Falconer, director of the Hydro-Environmental Research Centre at Cardiff University and a member of the report's steering committee.

    Is this the end of migration?

    Climate change is affecting bird behaviour at a staggering rate. Some 20 billion have already changed their flight plans

    It's rained three times as much as usual this winter in Andalusia, and almost every day unemployed amateur ornithologist Javier Caracuel has walked past a disused mining tower in the decaying industrial town of Linares and looked up, expecting the pair of white storks that nest there to have migrated south.

    Yet despite the surrounding high noise levels – the tower, some 10 metres high, is jammed between a school and a street clogged with traffic – and Andalusia's wettest winter in decades, the storks have stayed put. And they're not alone. "There have always been a couple of storks at the top of the church spire down by the railway station, but I've never seen so many across town," Mr Caracuel explains, "and there are dozens more in the villages."

    Iceland: Katla will erupt within 7 days

    The eruptions and ash disturbance from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano might be waking up its neighbor, Katla. If this is the case, the results could be globally devastating. Activity at
    Katla has risen 200% in the last two days.

    The earthquake build up since the beginning of the year and subsequent eruptions at Eyjafjallajokull seem to be triggering the larger neighboring volcano, Katla. For the last two
    days, Katla has shown a dramatic 200% rise in activity. Geophysicists at
    Iceland’s Institute of Earth Sciences call Katla a vicious volcano that
    will be locally and globally damaging.

    Katla’s last eruption started in 1821, along side an eruption at Eyjafjallajokull. Katla has a pattern of erupting in sequence with
    Eyjafjallajokull. However, Katla is different. It is much larger and it
    will make the present eruptions in Iceland look mild in comparison.
    Scientists say that although Eyjafjallajokull eruptions are less
    frequent, Katla eruptions are significantly worse and larger.
    Historically, Katla has been shown to wake up whenever Eyjafjallajokull
    does, and sometimes on its own. This is why it is believed that Katla
    will erupt and it will be soon. Due to the up tick in activity, the
    locals believe that Katla will erupt in approximately 7 days.

    Hey just read this from Stuart Swerdlows site. He has some interesting info.

    "There is information coming from Mexico that is not being released on other media. It is even secret in Mexico, but many know about it.

    We know that after the 7.2 quake on the border of Mexico and California on Easter, sulphorous water emerged from the ground and sunk many homes. Baja separated from the mainland by 3 meters.

    Now, we are getting info that underground military bases in California are being evacuated. Another major, catastrophic event is building fast.

    We are also hearing that in May this year, an artificially generated tsunami will occur in the Western Pacific and possibly strike the west coasts of the US and Mexico. This is why there is so much preparation in San Diego and Oregon.

    We now know that Russian military saboteurs are stationed throughout the US and a gas or dirty bomb event is possible. We don't know where yet, but most likely in the southern or southwestern US.

    We also have discovered that Russian agents AND Israeli Mossad are in Northern Mexico and and facilitating the so-called drug wars and murders. None of this will ever be on the news.

    The second half of 2010 and the first half of 2011will see major events that have never been seen on Earth before. The Icelandic ash and the grounding of planes is part of Kuiper Belt sabotage. They are planning their own event.

    Fasten your seat belts and DO YOUR MENTAL WORK!!"

    Well godlikeproductions isn't exactly revered elsewhere either. But yes discernment is needed when reading most info like this. Allot of his info is pretty accurate.

    Who knows with all the Ad hominem arguments out there. Could be that he has been attacked because he said something tbtb didn't like, could be genuine. I just look at the info.

    Stuart Swerdlow is, like many, making huge profits from people's fear. He is using the natural cycle of life and destruction here on earth, as a tool to suit his own means. I will not except the fact that there are people controlling these disasters, they may wish they can, but mother nature, and earth do not obey the feeble plays that some believe are happening now.

    Anyone, looking outside of the box, and into the much bigger picture, can see that we are smack dab in the middle of great earth changes, there will be never before heard of storms happening now. But, they have happened before, most not in our own recorded history.

    He is a very good salesman, to the unsuspecting person, which makes him, in my eye, dangerous. He takes everyone's research, studies, and books, then makes a little short story using all the main points. He does not miss a trick in this business.

    I feel we are in the "calm before the storm" stage, that quiet moment before the gong strikes.
    Earth changes are definitely on the rise, with less time in between some of the major players.

    Right now, in southern ont., I am feeling kinda of smug, all safe and sound, enough food to hunt and gather if necessary, & water everywhere . Barring nuclear war, this place is looking pretty good to ride out this earth cycle and her evolution. Don't worry, I may feel smug now, but I am fully aware that my circumstances can change in a heartbeat, along with everyone else around me.

    I am not strapping myself in for the ride, I plan to ride it as wild as it wants, going with the flow of changes, not fighting it, but feeling it with all my senses.

    love & light

    "expect an earthquake in a few days"

    This afternoon, approximately 12:00pm, EST, I saw a video on the front page of CNN.com that startled me.

    It discussed how the people of southern california should BRACE for an earthquake in the next COUPLE OF DAYS. These words were used. The reporter began standing on top of the san andreas fault line, then discussed the unusual number of earthquakes (CNN had previously posted an article qouting scientists saying all was normal). The video continued with a webcam interview with someone who has been predicting earthquakes by measuring the temperature of the soil. The video showed a USGS picture of earthquakes in the LA / Baja region, that someone posted to my previous CNN blog post.

    As many of you know, people on this site and other prediction sites have been predicting a quake near LA for weeks, so it came to me as a shock CNN would discuss this openly. I believe this is a hint, a nudge by the Puppet Master, which may have been taken done after realizing how it may startle the populace. I firmly believe something is going to happen in the next few days, and am calling my friends in that region to either take a vacation, or stock up on earthquake emergency supplies.

    NEW DELHI: A severe heat wave sweeping across the country, with temperatures of almost 44 C, has killed at least 80 people so far, officials said on Sunday.

    Majority of deaths were reported in Orissa. A state government official said they were investigating reports of 53 deaths from various parts of the state. “District collectors have been asked to investigate and submit reports on other deaths,” said Mr Bhimsen Gochhayat. Orissa has decided to shut down schools
    from next Tuesday, advancing the annual summer holiday.

    How long will this disrupting eruption last?

    As Europe writhes in agony, millions of people are asking this question, desperately praying for relief from the paralysis of the airline industry caused by an Icelandic volcano.

    This eruption is a perfect storm, a combination of wind and ice conditions that has turned an ordinary eruption into a crisis. Last month, the same volcano erupted harmlessly. But last week, magma found a second pathway to the surface, this time beneath a glacier. When hot magma touched ice, it instantly created a burst of steam and produced glassified silicates. The sudden expansion of steam created a colossal explosion that sent billowing clouds of glassified silica ash three to five miles into the air over Europe. The ongoing eruptions of the volcano, which continue unabated, are caused by a series of steam explosions as magma continues to encounter glacial ice.

    There are three scenarios for what could come next:

    1) The best scenario is that over the next few days either the magma spends itself or the ice finally melts. Without ice, the eruption will become an ordinary one. Scientists have tried to send airplanes to the volcano to analyze how much ice is left, but even these airplanes were grounded by the clouds of ash.

    2) The most likely scenario is a repeat of the 1821 eruption by the same volcano. That eruption sputtered off and on for 13 months. If this occurs again, European aviation may have to play cat and mouse for several weeks to months. Planes will only fly when the jet stream is blowing a certain direction or when the volcano is relatively quiet. Under this scenario, pilots will be in constant fear of encountering ash, which can shut down a plane's engines and sand blast its windshields to such an extent that it is impossible to see through them. There have been about 90 airplane encounters with volcanic ash since 1980, and in one instance all four of the plane's engines were shut down, almost causing a tragedy.

    3) The worse case scenario, which is unlikely, involves this eruption triggering another, larger eruption. There are 35 active volcanoes in Iceland, and one eruption has been known to set off another. The worse case happened in 1783, with an eruption lasting eight months. That eruption killed off much of the livestock and agriculture in Iceland, which in turn caused the death of about 25% of the island's population.
