Kiminori Itoh’s reference to the cooling effects of soot in the atmosphere got me to thinking a Perfect Storm for an ice age could be building. I'm not a scientist or a scholar. But with the sun's influence currently waning what would happen if the earth experienced several major volcanic events over a year or so? Could a weak sun and an increase of sulfur dioxide tip the world into an ice age or mini-ice age?
Well, we know from past experience, all it takes is one BIG eruption...look at Mount Tambora in 1815...
