For the first time in history no flights entered or left the UK today. The cause is the volcanic cloud above the country and most of Northern Europe. The volcano in Iceland erupted violently causing the cloud and disruptions to flights.
Other parts of Europe have also experienced flight cancellations causing travel chaos for many passengers. However what an amazing day for the environment! I hope there are people out there measuring CO2 emissions today! It’s a great opportunity to find out exactly how much CO2 the aviation industry pumps in to the atmosphere in the UK. With flights potentially being grounded for a further day there are many people celebrating at the positives this creates.
Many people who live on flight paths will have had a quiet day. The dust is also set to give us some spectacular sunsets. People have had unexpected days off and because the issue has been caused by nature people have taken the news very well. Is this natures way of helping the environment?
