Global Warming hasn’t been in the news for over a week now.
That’s gotta be the cause.

Please let me know when it the threat level is raised to
Code Elmo so that I may panic and shout oh noes! s/
Seriously, prayers are up for anyone that might be in the path of danger if the thing does blow.

2010 eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano I sprained my tongue pronouncing that, but I read somewhere that Eyjafjallajokull put out more gunk into the air in those few days than all of mankind did in a year.
And than Pinatubo in the Phillippines produced more in a year than all mankind has produced in ALL TIME.
So, the AlGorians can just suck on that.

this is the second-highest risk level on the government's five-level risk scale. This is the fourth-lowest risk level on the scale, too.

Except, in this case, the result would most certainly not be global warming. (”Climate change” for sure — but, not the warming type.)
From the article:
“There is a very small chance that an eruption could be something very much larger, along the scale of the 1783 Laki eruption. In the case of an eruption this size, the major problem would not be flight disruption caused by ash, although that certainly would happen but rather the devastating impact on climate and farming across the northern hemisphere. To give an idea of the scale, some research points to the Laki eruption being a trigger for the French Revolution.”
The Laki eruption is generally credited (but, not by everyone) with causing the extreme winter of 1783-84. I looked that up here:

the result would most certainly not be global warming. Of course.
I was suggesting, semi-facetiously, that someone would blame the CAUSE on GW.
I'll stand by that assertion.

Indeed, if we have a major eruption of an Icelandic volcano like what happened back in 2010, it could have huge effects on Earth's climate--like colder winters in the higher latitudes and a LOT more rain in California (remember California's highest recorded rainy season totals happened after that Icelandic eruption in 2010).
