crap, they let the link die, on that paper I pointed to in my #4...luckily, the web archive still has it... but for how long? I'd suggest copying it for the future in your files. Anyway, sorry, without further problems, I hope:

FWIW, http://www.volunteertv.com/home/headlines/18699024.html>new crop circles appeared in East Tennessee at new moon.

Comments on this local tv website are interesting. Some suspect bored local college students, some report odd lights flying nearby. Among those who study crop circles, electromagnetic activity is sometimes mentioned.

@DharmaBum - nice pictures - thanks.

I wonder how many megatons of CO2 have been released to the atmosphere by this event. How does that compare to the human CO2 production. Anyone saw any numbers on this?

@b
I don't think vulcano's produce much CO2, if any at all. Mostly dust and sulphuric acid, which are great heat reflectants (in the upper atmosphere). See also The year without summer

@DharmaBum - you are right - it's only 3% of total.
