Opinion: Iceland Volcano helps create freezing weather in europe

Weather chaos continues to hit UK airports

It is pretty obvious to me after having studied the effects of volcanic eruptions that the present freezing weather creating snowstorms in Europe likely has a direct co-relation to the Iceland Volcano going off. Though I cannot prove this I think others might be able to. Also, in the late 1700s volcanic eruptions in Iceland help cause the French revolution from starvation because things wouldn't grow right in europe and it also caused the Mississippi River to Freeze all the way to New Orleans. It isn't that bad yet but the larger Iceland Volcano hasn't also gone off like it did then within a couple of years.

Begin quote from Wikipedia concerning this years (2010) Icelandic Eruptions. The volcanic dust particles of molten glass from the volcano once it goes above 20,000 feet and cools tends to stay at that altitude or higher for several years and slowly circle the world in that hemisphere along the jet streams. Over several years it slowly very slowly falls to earth in winds and storms as it gets below 20,000 feet once again. It reduces the amount of sunlight reaching the earth and often interferes with growing seasons in that hemisphere and makes the weather colder than normal. begin quote from wikipedia under heading 

"2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull"

The 2010 eruptions of Eyjafjallajökull are a timeline of volcanic events at Eyjafjöll in Iceland which, although relatively small for volcanic eruptions, caused enormous disruption to air travel across western and northern Europe over an initial period of six days in December 2009. Additional localised disruption continued into May 2010. The eruption was declared officially over in October 2010, when snow on the glacier did not melt.
Seismic activity started at the end of 2009 and gradually increased in intensity until on 20 March 2010, a small eruption started rated as a 1 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index.[1]
Beginning on 14 April 2010, the eruption entered a second phase and created an ash cloud that led to the closure of most of Europe's IFR airspace from 15 until 20 April 2010. Consequently, a very high proportion of flights within, to, and from Europe were cancelled, creating the highest level of air travel disruption since the Second World War.
