Catastrophism ping.

Here's the volcano that nearly killed us all:

Late Pleostocene Human Population Bottlenecks. . . (Toba)

A distant relative of Bush was the cause of this horrible eruption .

[Zerodown]

Excellent post. But the author neglects to tell us how this can be blamed on George Bush, which is required in any article talking about global cooling or warming.

Now as for these algorani suggesting a sulfur shield: what happens if President Hillary directs NASA to put up the shield and then there's another Tambora? Will it save the polar bears?.

[Red Badger]

Let me get this straight. Volcanoes release sulfur, a pollutant, into the atmosphere, it reflects sunlight into space, thus cooling the planet. Then why are we removing sulfur from our fuels?........

Funny...the subject came up the other day about weather fluctuations, and I mentioned the year that had no summer and how in England that was the basis for several years of Currier and Ives White Christmas scenes, which are apparently unusual in England before or since. When asked why, I said it was a volcanic eruption, but could not remember the name...as I searched my memory, a pictograph of relative eruption sizes flashed into my head, and I remembered Tambora was WAY WAY bigger than Krakatoa or Pinatubo...so I said that must have been it...:)

Rove’s early version of his Volcano Machine?

[AU72]

Any volcano ready to erupt will first have to purchase enough carbon credits to offset the co2 to be spewed or algore is going to pitch a fit.

[RSmithOpt]

OK...though rare, how about a 1 mile wide rock from outer space splashing into one of our oceans at 30,000 mph.???It’ll still be global warming and Bush’s fault.

Oh no.... Global Warming!

Oh no.... GoreBull Warming!

From an 1816 timeline:

Cold weather persists through summer in much of the world's temperate zones, apparently as a result of dust in the atmosphere following last year's volcanic eruption in the East Indies. Frost occurs from Canada to Virginia every night from June 6 to June 9, laundry laid out to dry on the grass at Plymouth, Connecticut, June 10 is found frozen stiff, heavy snows fall in the Northeast in June and July, and frost kills crops in what farmers will call "eighteen hundred and froze to death."

That volume is by far the largest volume of any volcanic eruption in life on earth."

Curious. He claims it would be 100 times greater than Mt St Helens yet, the Yellowstone Caldera had a force 2400 times greater than Mt. ST Helens. Perhaps he's just referring to the volume of material? Somehow the math isn't workin for me.

[BlazingArizona]

When the gas reacted with water vapor in the atmosphere, it formed tiny little droplets of sulfuric acid that became suspended in the stratosphere, creating a veil over the Earth, Sigurdsson says.

This points to a way of engineering the climate, if we really wanted to do something like cool off the Earth. So specifically how much of a cooling would everyone vote for? How much cooling would Canadians or Russians vote for?

There was an article some months ago about during this dreary summer the book Frankenstein was written.

Take a good look at that guy’s picture. Notice the strange way his cloths bunch and bulge?

I wonder if he has his Robe of Warm-mongering hidden underneath? He’s probably an acolyte of the Alar Goracle. Or maybe even one of his Profits of Doomination.
