How does this eruption compare with Tambora in 1815, which had global climate consequences for a couple of years? No climate consequences. The ash cloud is 7 miles high vs 20 or more miles for Tambora and Pinatubo. Height is critical because sulfur needs to stay in the stratosphere to cause cooling. Another factor is this is high latitude which causes less global cooling than a low latitude eruption.

That’s the common take. However, with more cosmic rays reaching the lower atmosphere due to a magnetically quiet sun, this might actually effect the climate significantly through more (and possibly toxic) cloud formation.
