I suspect this could inspire and influence future 3-D animation. What an amazing perspectiv­e from an actual video.

All that CO2... Goldman Sachs, GE, AIG, and all the other Wall Street crooks would love to cap and trade it.

Al Gore, you've got to criticize Russians. See the amount of CO2 they are allowing to escape into the atmosphere­. That's unacceptab­le. It's gonna exacerbate the warming of the globe.

Look at all that CO2 emitted, we should tax volcanoes.

This single volcano's annual output doesn't even match the CO2 American consumer vehicles put out in a single day. I guess that still makes it an easy excuse not to do anything about it yourself, eh?
