Corporations must be supplying the acid to the volcano.

The 535 event could have been, in part, due to eruptions in Iceland that spewed hydrofluoric acid across Europe.

That's one of those things that would wipe out the people, the animals and the plants.

According to extant British records of the time Brittany was pretty much wiped clean at the time, and there's a band across the Scandinavian peninsula that seems to have been treated similarly SEVERAL TIMES over the last few thousand years.

And driven to the volcano by Tea Partiers in Hummers.

At Aethelblack the Unready’s next TV appearance, the Teleprompter will say:

“My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Iceland forever. We begin bombing in five minutes.”

Then there was the ozone hole in 1788 resulting from all the gas powered hair sprays that the founding fathers were using.

Those kind of speculations are really interesting. Could change our understanding of history.

What if no one had any particular interest in attacking Rome but some cataclysmic event set in motion some chain of events?

Things like this should be a reminder to us that while we should be conservative in the pollution we release into the air, the most important thing is to remember to live life to the fullest, while we can, because our ‘power’ is nothing compared to the power of nature, both to give life, and to destroy.

The idea that we can ‘change’ the average global temperature of the Planet is so facetious that is should be beyond consideration of even the feeble minded, little lone the ‘brilliant’ scientific ‘weather/climate’ experts of our time.

Laki is one of the two or three most damaging volcanoes in the last 300 years.

If Laki (or worse Tambora) goes up again, I want a greenhouse with heaters, lots of ammo, my hunting knife sharpened, plenty of wood, and warm clothes, since it's going to be one nasty winter.

There is at least one huge ANCIENT underground city they have discovered. Perhaps it’s purpose was to escape from the results of a large volcano outgassing.

535 AD has always been a mystery year. Apparently whatever happened there was as bad or worse than Tambora.

Only a relatively few volcanoes can cause that that. Laki or Krakatoa (which some attribute the 416 eruption to this year) might be able to do so.

And the people sacrificed to the volcano probably ate too much body mass and created more C02 when burned. More reason to collect non-compliant eaters and use our space shuttles to launch them into deep space.

Ima a calling BS on that.

They were doing that thousands of years ago. Every time the orbit of a "noncompliant" decays we have the winter of our discontent.
