If one volcanic eruption can cause this much climate disruption, how futile is it to cripple our economy with EPA carbon restrictions that MIGHT by some scenarios reduce temperatures by a hundredth of a degree?

Our planet has endured these natural climate disruptions for eons and has bounced back. Even the 1816 global cooling from Krakatoa only lasted a year. This totally disproves the idea of climate alarmists that we are on a climatological "tipping point" because of molecular level changes in CO2 levels. Our planet has feedback mechanisms that make it difficult for even these large scale events to totally change our climate let alone a molecular level change in CO2.

I have reminded the alarmists of that on occasion. I also know of one instance during WWII when a torpedoed tanker caused a beach to be seriously covered with oil. A year later it was pristine clean with no human involvement. Mother nature does mighty things - by design!
