I remember hearing something on a Saturday am radio show just a few weeks ago...about a conflagration of events that forcast an ice age. I blew it off...but I think Katla was part of the equation ! I think the orator equated Katla activity with cooling trends. And that Katla in conjunction with other such events led to ..... ugh.
Should have taken better notes.
Triple Crown of global cooling could pose serious threat to humanity
Sea surface temperatures, extremely low solar activity and increased volcanic activity would lead to widespread food shortages and famine.
According to Bastardi, The Katla volcano in Iceland is a game changer. If it erupts and sends plumes of ash and SO2 into the stratosphere, any cooling caused by the oceanic cycles would be strengthened and amplified.
