Is there a way for someone in the U.S. to view the free content now available from British television?

Barack Hussein Obambi?

Leftism? Socialism, communism?

Islamofascism?

This is one of the best pictures I've even found of the Laki fissures:

Pictures that give you a sense of the size of the fissures aren't as high quality, but here's one:

I...now wonder whether this had any influence on early British-American relations, or any long-lasting historical impact.

This event primarily affected Iceland, which experienced a severe famine due to the destruction of crops and livestock by the volcano. However, during the next few years, temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere cooled considerably--Charleston Harbor in South Carolina froze over, as did the Mississippi River at New Orleans.

The event probably had no effect on British-American relations. The War of the American Revolution was winding down in 1783, the main theater of combat having shifted from North America to India.

...or any long-lasting historical impact.

The repercussions of the Laki Volcano eruption in Iceland resonated throughout Europe for the next few years. The summer of 1783, having been turned to winter was followed by an extreme, harsh winter in 1784, even in North America where it was reported as one of the coldest on record.

The Laki Volcano eruption in Iceland can also be said to have contributed significantly to the French Revolution. After several years of extreme weather in Europe caused by the Laki eruption, the ensuing destruction of crops and livestock brought famine and poverty that built up in France, triggering the Revolution which began in 1789.

Speaking of Catastrophe, was there yet another large meteorite sighting? Could there be a very large one on the horizon?
