During the Dalton Minimum, the combination of low sunspot activity and a major volcanic eruption produced the Year without a Summer, resulting in crop failures and famine.

Attention ladies and gentlemen, glaciation starts NOW!

Seriously, keep your eye on Baffin Island. That's where the ice builds up that slides down and crushes Chicago.

OK, I have to know where you got your data that now is the time ... What I like about it is that the Northeast Liberals will either be crushed or swept completely away.

You heard it here first... we will have a COLD winter next year because of the ash, if indeed this eruption is as large as the one in the late 1700’s.

False vision ~ they will be able to walk ~ all the way to Fairfax County Virginia ~ no ice here!

Last time this area hosted a glacier was that particularly nasty thing 600,000,000 years ago ~ big sucker too ~ covered the globe. My front yard is a gravel pile (with a little dirt on top) typical of what that ice left behind.

We need more guns and ammo. These wild Leftwingtards roaming around will need to be corralled and I don’t trust them to be peaceful ~ they lie a lot about that pacifist cr*p anyway.

Maybe visit Dulles Expo if they got a gun show. Always a lot of good stuff there.

The article we all laughed at the other day when the young lady did dating on deposits at rivermouths ~ that’s how I know. We are at the right point in the orbit so all we need is a sunspot minimum, a nasty volcanic eruption that blots out the light sufficiently, and next thing you know the glaciation starts, the albedo increases, and Earth starts cooling down big time.

“Uh Oh. Here comes another cold winter and bye bye Global Wariming”

That’s why they started calling it “climate change”. Problem is they can’t blame this on cars and coal plants. They’ll try to though

All that particulate might lower world temperatures a little bit. Another blow to global warming.

I think we may get to see what triggers Ice Ages if Obama doesn't get us all killed first. There are numerous interesting theories as to the cause of ice ages but I'm beginning to wonder if maybe the Earth periodically vents millenniums of interior heat build up via volcanic activity much like old faithful vents steam.

The resulting ash and sulfur clouds would cause increased global cooling. Higher ocean temperatures from underwater volcanoes may increase moisture in the atmosphere. These factors both could combine to trigger the Earth's history of recurring ice ages. Low solar activity and the Earth's eccentric orbit at the time may also play an important part.

That's more pollution than all the output from cars and factories combined.

Quick! Tax the volcano!

How about we call in Al Gore?

Al Gore should be airlifted into Iceland and dropped in to plug the volcano.
That would take care of two of the planet's biggest polluters at one time.

I've heard of fighting fire with fire, but fighting fire with hot air? ;)

Volcano cloud smothers Europe

Old Europe or New Europe? One can only hope...

Actually, the Iclandic volcano Laki in 1783 was not a volcano. It was a fissure event just as the current one is. The fissure erupted for at least 6 months over a 25 mile extent. The fluorine gas produced was poisonous to the livestock and the ash wore down their teeth. Ninety percent of the animals died, and about 10,000 Icelanders also mostly of starvation.

In Europe there was a pall of blue haze in the air. Benjamin Franklin who was in France at the time said it might be caused by something happening in Iceland. There was serious crop damage, and it is felt that worsening conditions may have precipitated the French Revolution.

In addition to the disruption of air traffic, there are a lot of other things that might happen if this continues lond enough. Here is a link to a lot of interesting sites about this topic:

I wonder if the particularly nasty glacier around 600 thousand years ago may have be the aftermath of the great Yellowstone caldera eruption prior to that date.

The report claimed the volcano could eventually effect the entire globe.

For the benefit of the non-believers, libturds & liberals & dumber than dirt MSM, I wonder if the Bible has anything to say about these things? Hmmmmm, I wonder.....

Matt 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows

Anybody in the U.K. needs to know that when this volcano erupted in 1783 it caused famine in Europe and poisonous gas from the volcano killed a number of people in Britain.

I recommend getting gas masks that are effective against sulfur gas.
