The 1815 Tambora eruption in Indonesia had a well-documented impact on global agriculture, so such eruptions may occur as often as every 200 years, Verosub noted.

Hmmm.. Seven years to go before the eruption will counter the evil global warming...

So, to reverse Global Warming, all we have to do is find a volcano, pack it full of explosives, light the fuse, and run!

According to Aber http://academic.emporia.edu/aberjame/ice/lec19/holocene.htm

“Glaciers of Italian Alps advanced markedly” from 1594 to 1598, so it was already cold before the eruption.

Great catch ~ "Blamian", indeed!

The first permanent Northern European settlement in North America, Nova Scotia, owes its origin to this. The St. Sauveur settlement, established in 1599 (roughly at Bar Harbor Maine) found it necessary to relocate ACROSS the Bay of Fundy to Port Royal/Annapolis Royal. Apparantly hunting and fishing in Maine dropped below tolerable levels and the more nearly oceanic climate of Nova Scotia proved irresistible.

Thought it was caused by an eruption where Krakatau was, but one that sundered Java from Sumatra [see: “Catastrophe”]
