Correct on all that; I’ve read “The Year Without Summer:1816” a couple of times.
What was interesting is the eruption occured happened during the Dalton Minimum and the decade had already been been cold. The jet stream had the same ‘waviness’ as it did recently that permitted the deeply penetrating cold fronts that hit various parts of the Northern Hemisphere.
Apparently volcanic activity increases during solar minima and I just read that currently there are 45 erupting volcanoes during the current solar cycle decline. We might be heading into another Maunder or Dalton minimum.
Interesting - I need to read up on the jet stream and Dalton min theory
Things to make you go “Hmmmmmn.”
I’m not buying it completely, but it is a theory. There are very compelling records of a 1000 year climate change cycle. If a 3600 hundred year comet storm is superimposed on that cycle, you’d get “interesting “ amplification sometimes, and flatter curve effects sometimes.
Fifty-two???
