Ian RutherfordPlimer is an Australian geologist, professor emeritus of earth sciences at theUniversity of Melbourne, professor of mining geology at the University ofAdelaide, and the director of multiple mineral exploration and miningcompanies. He has published 130 scientific papers, six books and edited theEncyclopedia of Geology.

The following article was written in 2004 and recently up-dated.

Professor IanPlimer could not have said it better!
If you've read hisbook you will agree; this is a good summary.

PLIMER: "Okay, here's the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland.Since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERYSINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions onour planet - all of you.

Of course, you knowabout this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress - it’s that vitalchemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow and to synthesizeinto oxygen for us humans and all animal life.

I know....it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emissionsavings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense ofdriving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight tofinish your kids "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing outall of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toiletpaper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV andspeedboat, vacation in Bali getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacingall of your 50 cent light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs..... well,all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just fourdays.

The volcanic ashemitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four days - yes, FOUR DAYS - bythat volcano in Iceland which has totally erased every single effort you havemade to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 activevolcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud at any one time - EVERY DAY.

I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention thatwhen the volcano Mt. Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewedout more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race hademitted in all its years on earth.

Yes, folks, Mt.Pinatubo was active for over one year - think about it.

Of course, Ishouldn't spoil this 'touchy-feely tree-hugging' moment and mention the effectof solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized 800-year global heatingand cooling cycle, which keeps happening despite our completelyinsignificant efforts to affect climate change.

And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud, but the fact ofthe matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and Australiathis year alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for thenext two to three years. And it happens every year. Just remember that yourgovernment just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you, on the basis ofthe bogus 'human-caused' climate-change scenario.

Hey, isn't itinteresting how they don't mention 'Global Warming' anymore, but just "ClimateChange" - you know why?

It's because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and theseglobal warming bull**** artists got caught with their pantsdown. And just keep in mind that you might yet be stuck withan Emissions Trading Scheme - that whopping new tax - imposed on you that willachieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer.

It won't stop any volcanoes from erupting, that's for sure.
But, hey,relax...give the world a hug and have a nice day!"

Quotes by Ian Plimer
Climate Myth What the Science Says
"There is no problem with global warming. It stopped in 1998. The last two years of global cooling have erased nearly 30 years of temperature increase."
8 July 2009 (Source)
All the indicators show that global warming is still happening.
"I’m a natural scientist. I’m out there every day, buried up to my neck in sh**, collecting raw data. And that’s why I’m so sceptical of these models, which have nothing to do with science or empiricism but are about torturing the data till it finally confesses."
8 July 2009 (Source)
Models successfully reproduce temperatures since 1900 globally, by land, in the air and the ocean.
"The hypothesis that human activity can create global warming is extraordinary because it is contrary to validated knowledge from solar physics, astronomy, history, archaeology and geology."
8 July 2009 (Source)
Multiple sets of independent observations find a human fingerprint on climate change.
"To argue that human additions to atmospheric CO2, a trace gas in the atmosphere, changes climate requires an abandonment of all we know about history, archaeology, geology, solar physics, chemistry and astronomy."
22 May 2009 (Source)
Many substances are dangerous even in trace amounts; what really matters is the total amount of CO2 in the atmosphere.
"If natural forces drove warmings in Roman and medieval times, how do we know that the same natural forces did not drive the late 20th-century warming?"
22 May 2009 (Source)
Climate reacts to whatever forces it to change at the time; humans are now the dominant forcing.
"If CO2 drives temperature, why were there past ice ages when the atmospheric CO2 content was many times greater than at present?"
22 May 2009 (Source)
Climate has changed along with CO2 levels through geological time.
"CO2 is plant food, it is not a pollutant and it is misleading non-scientific spin to talk of carbon pollution."
22 May 2009 (Source)
Through its impacts on the climate, CO2 presents a danger to public health and welfare, and thus qualifies as an air pollutant
"In the past, climate change has never been driven by CO2. Why should it be now driven by CO2 when the atmospheric CO2 content is low?"
5 May 2009 (Source)
The strong CO2 effect has been observed by many different measurements.
