A volcano the size of the Tabora eruption in 1815, if today, would kill half the world’s population. We’re ill-equipped to deal with “A Year Without Summer”.
With serious danger to the Ukranian bread basket. The world may get a nasty taste of what a serious disruption of crop availability can do. Ukraine is an important exporter of grains to the world. Already millions on feeding programs are having food rations cut in half. I imagine American farmers are already planning more extensive planting this spring. At least I hope they are.
It’s not just size. It’s where the volcano is located, what it spews how high up, what else is going on with the climate at the time.
But, yup, anything sending a bleep load of sulfur and particulates into the stratosphere and something wicked this way comes.
Then we’ll be all gentleman, start your engines!
Only we won’t be able to cuz they’ll be fricking electric.
