“... twelve cubic miles of earthen matter to a height of more than twenty five miles.”
Can’t even imagine that!
As an aside my Grandfather(died 1950) remembered the colored sunsets occasioned by the explosion of Krakatoa.
1816 was the “year without a summer” because the ash from this volcano prevented enough sunlight to have normal temperatures...in much of Europe the crops would not ripen because of the lack of warm weather, and thousands died of famine in the aftermath, especially in 1817. I think at least 3 of my direct ancestors died of starvation in 1817 as part of that (they were living in Europe).
Nope can’t happen, expert FReepers will be along shortly to explain why.
Fascinating article...thanks!
We have 128 days left to fear darkness falling upon us in the year 2015. After that we are good to go. Unless... the Shemitah and “harbinger” stuff doesn’t get us in less than 30 days.
I have no clue which to fear most. ini mini myni mo catch a scientist by the toe. yuk
BTW, We won’t starve. GMO crops will survive.
Shhhhh. Gee NYTimes, don’t let the warmist alarmist crowd see that you think temperature was not flat for 1,0000 years before the last 20th century.
Ping for your list...
The next year the British sent an expedition to the arctic to look for the Northwest Passage. They found an open waterway almost all the way through, but, turned back fearing getting caught in ice.
Dust and soot from Tambora may have been the cause of this, as dark material will help ice to melt.
After that, it came back again.
“An overarching goal was to separate natural climate fluctuations from those of human origin. One after another, studies came back to New England and its frigid summer of 1816.”
Think they found any human interventions?
Dang, “It also transported him to Tambora, where he braved leeches and razor-sharp leaves to peer across its yawning caldera, four miles from rim to rim.”
hmmm. You know how people explain the 10 Plagues of Egypt naturally by going up the food chain? I wonder if anyone can do that with all the prophecy in Revelation. I want to know how the wind will stop all over the earth and what that will do. It’s been bugging me. ;-)
It is, Dr. Wood remarked, “hard to see and no less difficult to imagine.” "
Shows how puny humans really are. Just ONE event created at least 3 years of 'global cooling'.
