After a volcano blew up in AD 536, the sun was obscured for nearly two years, only as bright as the moon at mid day.
This was when the Christian Emperor Justinian was trying to put the Holy Roman Empire back together.
Temperatures plunged, there were no harvests at all for 3 years. A decade later, the population of Europe was cut in half. Massive famines occurred all the way around the northern hemisphere from Ireland to Japan.
There were no records of what happened in North America or the Southern hemisphere, but tree ring and ice core data indicate this was a global event. Wars and pandemics broke out everywhere among the famine-weakened peoples.
Imagine the level of social collapse following such an event today. Buffalo is just a local, temporary disaster. Imagine the irony if, after all the man-caused global warming hoopla, the world were plunged into darkness, cold and crop failures.
Here is an excellent 16 minute video on the events following the AD 536 volcano:
536 AD - Worst Year in History

We are so screwed.
People do not understand that “global warming” is an empirical Good Thing (tm) for carbon-based life.
So, to ax the obvious question:
How many megaton strategic intercontinental nukes going off in the atmosphere all at the same time would it take to effect the same thing?
Excellent review of historical worldwide breakdown— natural disasters.
Have long thought the changeover from the coverstories of National Geographic magazines (which we have from the 70’s which was warning about the coming next mini-ice age) to the “new” global warming to the renamed Climate Change BS (because global warming has been largely disproven)-— this change is to the advantage of the largest holders of carbon (potential CO2 which is NOT a factor whatsoever).
Namely the petroleum companies working in concert with demonrat lefties and all the completely inefficient windmills solar, batteries that can’t make up the difference for survival. Take one look at how Europe has restarted coal fired power plants, and the nukes the Germans had shut down— they don’t give a rip about “climate change”.
Summary: we are beginning another 200 year mini-ice age. The last one in the US was ending about the time General Washington crossed the Delaware River (with block ice begining to freeze together) to wipe out the Hessians at Trenton. The Colonial days experienced decades of much colder than anything in Europe— until the American Revolution. An opinion that another one is naturally (solar based minimums) is on its way— cheery thoughts with what these idiots keep destroying in our grid.
