I think you are confused (or pulling my leg). Maybe you’re thinking about the 1815-1816 eruption of Mt. Tambora, and “the year without a summer” in 1816.
Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1991. Michigan had regular summers, with highs in the 90s in 1990, 1991 and 1992. There are no reliable weather measurements for 1816 in Michigan.
The Mt. Pinatubo eruption sent out about 1% of the yearly human CO2. It did send out a lot of sulfur compounds, but even those aren’t comparable to all human historical sulfur emmissions.
How did we have massive glaciers once upon a time in Pennsylvania...and how did they melt...without human-caused emissions????? Splain that.
If temps in SE michigan went above 90 degrees, I must have missed it. My wife worked for the DNR in 1990, and I remember going to the park that she worked at, in the middle of June, and there were no patrons there due to the cold, and my wife wearing a coat, because the temps never got above the 60’s. This was in SE michigan, about 30 miles north of Detroit.
I take that back, it was later, after that volcano erupted, in 1991, or 1992. All I remember is that we didn’t have a summer that year, and it was cold and overcast the entire time. The following winter, 1993-1994, were really brutally cold, with temps -20 and colder.
Very interesting chart. But chart’s like this are OFF the charts of ALL progressive/liberal types. They don’t want to know that there is a negative in the USA. And please tell me what they are saying and doing about China? NOTHING!!!!
The left is full of crap and other assorted toxins which won’t allow them to think straight.
