Section on Short- and long-term weather and environmental effects

The paragraph on the relation to the solar cycle (starting 'While it is suspected') is highly speculative. The claims made are not scientifically accepted. There is no evidence that Icelandic eruptions are related to the sun (the only paper discussing any effect is on a few Japanese eruptions and it does not reach the 3-sigma level required for a detection) and the sentence beginning 'Most consider' presents opinion rather than accepted fact. I would recommend deleting this paragraph.ABZebra (talk) 22:36, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Agricultural improvements and positives

Shortly after the volcano had become dormant, the fresh layer of soil resting above the previous earth was extremely fertile and allowed Iceland's agricultural industry to thrive. However, it took approximately 6 months before farming could resume due to a significant lack of infrastructure due to the extensive damage the eruption caused. On Icelandic farmer who had to evacuate his farm near Eyjafjallajökull said 'With this soil, I could become a multi-millionaire, but with these remaining resources, I can scarcely dig a hole.' Despite this, Iceland has rebuilt its economy and infrastructure at a pace which UK PM Gordon Brown considered 'excruciatingly fast', putting Iceland's farming produce back on the market across Europe and North America. To this date (2022) Iceland agricultural industry has rocketed up in size and popularity by 29% since the natural disaster that occurred in 2010. 88.202.152.248 (talk) 19:19, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
