Volcanoes are not only harmful but also useful!
The eruption of the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull caused the cancellation of a plurality of flights. Environmentalists have decided to calculate how much CO2 as a result of "sustained a loss," the atmosphere of our planet, taking into account the volcanic carbon dioxide emissions.
Icelandic volcano emits every day Earth about 150 000 tonnes of CO2. The European aviation is responsible for the supply of 344,109 tons of carbon dioxide every day. As a result of the cancellation of 60% of European flights, aircraft each day threw at 206,465 tons less than usual. Thus, due to the eruption of the volcano daily CO2 emissions reduced by 56,465 tons.
