Effects of the Icelandic Volcano

   The eruption of the Icelandic Volcano has caused many effects all around the world. The first effect was serious local flooding, also westerly winds have spread the volcano's ash plume across much of Europe and as a result, grounding thousands of airline flights, general distress and wonderment. Furthermore, the eruption sent sulfuric ash into the stratosphere , so it reflected enough light to cool global ground temperatures by about 1 degreee Fahrenheit for the next two years. This eruption caused scientists to suggest to intentionally distribute sulfur dioxide in the stratosphere as a solution to global warming.
