Ash shadow of the European economy.

<P> Fifth largest glacier in Iceland --- eyjafjallajokull 14 glaciers around the volcanic eruption, volcanic dust across Europe, forcing many to shut down the airport, close to 90% of flights were canceled, national political leaders were forced to change the itinerary .. .Have described the European public, "a volcano paralyzed the whole of Europe." .</ P> <P> Although the volcanic eruption on the European economy is currently unable to quantitatively assess the impact, but there is no doubt the loss will be enormous. .The aviation industry as an example, the International Air Transport Association 19, the European air transport industry is expected to losses increased from $ 200,000,000 a day to 2.5 million. .In addition, air cargo dependent agriculture, retail and other sectors will also suffer collateral damage. .</ P> <P> against a variety of industries </ P> <P> Reuters article said that if volcanic ash causes disruption of air traffic in Europe for several months to travel alone and lost tourism revenues could be the regional economic growth .down 1 to 2 percentage points in 2010, former projected economic growth rate in Europe is 1% to 1.5%. .Analysts believe that this will mean that many European countries do not have the slightest economic growth this year. .</ P> <P> International Air Transport Association Director General and CEO Giovanni Bisignani said at a press conference on 19, estimates of the air cargo industry losses of 250 million U.S. dollars a day does not include air .company to change its course and pay compensation for passengers. .It is reported that the loss of most airlines will not receive the insurance compensation. .Some airline shares fell 19. .Air France shares fell nearly 7% after opening, British Airways and Lufthansa were down 3.11% and 4.6%. .</ P> <P> analysts say about 40% of the global value of goods in the form of goods transport is by air, Iceland, the economic impact of volcanic ash that will increase dramatically. .</ P> <P> other countries likely to be affected will be the production of fruits and flowers of the African countries, these products if not promptly delivered to the market will soon decay. .According to reports, Kenya flower exporters are losing each day to 200 million, three into the EU market, the supply of flowers from Kenya. .</ P> <P> In addition, the spread of smoke and dust from the current trend, the EU's animal husbandry country --- France, Britain, the Netherlands and Germany will be a considerable impact, since the EU the importance of livestock in the world .status of animal husbandry in the world prices of agricultural products will be affected by them. .</ P> <P> called for the lifting of air traffic control </ P> <P> International Air Transport Association, 19, severely criticized the European governments in dealing with the volcanic eruption on Iceland's crisis management capacity of the airport closed, and called on European governments to reconsider .open to air traffic. .</ P> <P> airlines have to put pressure on governments. .Norway Airlines warned that if to 19, is still grounded, the company will temporarily lay off 2,500 people. .Finnish state-owned airline, said the grounding caused the loss of two million euros a day, if not normal operation after two weeks, paid to employees will be suspended. .Lufthansa plane at low altitude flight arrangements in order to test the practical implications of volcanic ash on the flight, the critical air traffic control departments should not only volcanic dust according to the British Met Office computer model to predict contact center decision-making, saying that "because of volcanic dust and worried passengers .safe and the closure of airspace is no basis. " .</ P> <P> now opened up to the airspace, including Spain, Portugal, Italy and France, parts of the Balkans, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, part of the Nordic region. .But Belgium, Germany, Britain and other countries have announced the extension of 19 national airspace no-fly time. .</ P> <P> impact on European temperature complex </ P> <P> Analysts said Iceland's volcanic dust from the air temperature in Europe will have complex effects. .After the volcanic eruption usually smoke obscured the sun will make the temperature has dropped, but there are also large number of flights grounded research that may cause a slight rise in temperature. .</ P> <P> volcanic eruptions in history there are many causes of global climate cooling the temperature dropped even examples, such as Tanzania Bora 1815 volcanic eruption in Indonesia, a large number of volcanic ash into the atmosphere obscured the sun, making the second year of decline in global temperature, as .the famous "year without a summer" in many parts of Asia, Europe and the United States due to weather changes are also widespread crop failure occurs. .</ P> <P> the other hand, there are many researchers point out that with the history of volcanic eruptions cause climate cooling compared to the size of the volcanic eruptions or small a number. .Moreover, the volcanic dust causes a lot of flights were grounded, but also for the temperature change brought a new factor. .British "Daily Mail" has reported that U.S. researchers had in 2001 "9.11" incident, the U.S. no-fly on the impact of temperature was studied and found that the temperature rise. .The researchers said that this is because the jet exhaust condenses in the sky to form clouds, it also has the effect of reflected sunlight, in a busy place such flights in Europe and America, gathered a large number of aircraft flying on the air temperature enough to affect the results. .</ P>.
