Incidently, many starved to death during these previous events.
Well, there goes Globull Warming!.............
They typo-swapped the 1 and 2. Meant 1821 but typed 1812.
When I read about this being a major ash producer I immediately thought about the weather. Guess its a good thing I planned for so many cool weather crops for the garden.
I’d blow my top too if anyone ever saddled me with a name like Eyjafjallajökull!
It’s still Bushes fault and Cap and Trade will save us.../s
Why doesn’t Al Gore stop this?!
Maybe that's what they meant.
Uh... no....
The article says the eruption was 1821-1823.
The headline writer just got a little dyslexic... that's all.
Go to wiki and read the history of Iceland:
1) My observation: The reason the women there are so beautiful is they probably were probably hand picked Irish slaves brought there by the Norsemen. DNA shows women’s heritage is Celtic while the men’s heritage was Norse.
2) Iceland has time and again lost half of it’s population to either the black death or effects of the volcano since 800 AD.
Tough poeple.
And they say man is destroying the earth with pollution. We ain’t got nothing on what nature can do.
Oh man, when I saw the name of that volcano, I thought someone had a spaz attack and just went all nuts on the keyboard. :)
Eyjafjallajökull is a real ash hole!
they focus on Laki but most articles indicate Katla is the bad girl, they usually erupt in tandem, and Katla is overdue
Ya gotta wonder what is happening around the Pacific Rim....aka, the Ring of Fire.
And the world didn't end?
Apparently Katla also typically erupts following this volcano.
I was thinking this was no big deal, but it may end up being such.

We may have some spectacular sunsets due to the volume of ash put into the atmosphere by this volcano.
The "Year Without a Summer" was caused by the much more massive Tambora eruption in Indonesia.
They still grow food in Europe I presume. So if the two volcanoes go off in tandem and spew as much ash as they have in the past what happens to agriculture in Europe? The effects will eventually be world-wide so what are the likely effects for agriculture world-wide? If we had a “year without summer” before I assume we can have one again.
The headline date is a typo. The Year Without a Summer (a.k.a. “Eighteen-hundred-and-froze-to-death”) of 1816 was caused by the eruption of Tambora in Indonesia, not by Icelandic volcanoes.
