The Little Ice Age is a pretty fascinating time in human history. The theory I heard was that it was kicked off by a massive volcanic eruption in the Phillipines, but who knows.
That's crazy if its true.
Krakatoa also had some pretty major climate effects.

If Yellowstone ever pops, it will change human life for centuries.

Actually the Pinatubo eruption in 1991 cooled temperatures for a while, so you don't have to look back too far for this phenomenon, GrumpyCatFace.

And when one makes long term metereological forcasts, the amount of active volcanoes does play to the equation.

Same effect btw. when people were talking about a nuclear winter after a massive all-out nuclear war in the 1980's.

I tend to listen to retired scientist who don't need to fear repercussions for being contrarian. Freeman Dyson gave us his view here:

It seems that 6th grade science is still unsure.

Send Martin your report card when you pass up to 7th. I don't have the time; he loves that kind of stuff.

On the other hand.. the Northwest passage just opened up..

https://www.theguardian.com/environment ... D=ref_fark
A Russian tanker has travelled through the northern sea route in record speed and without an icebreaker escort for the first time, highlighting how climate change is opening up the high Arctic.

The $300m Christophe de Margerie carried a cargo of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Hammerfest in Norway to Boryeong in South Korea in 19 days, about 30% quicker than the conventional southern shipping route through the Suez Canal.

The tanker was built to take advantage of the diminishing Arctic sea ice and deliver gas from a new $27m facility on the Yamal Peninsula, the biggest Arctic LNG project so far which has been championed by the Russian president, Vladimir Putin.

On its maiden voyage, the innovative tanker used its integral icebreaker to cross ice fields 1.2m thick, passing along the northern sea section of the route in the Russian Arctic in a record six-and-a-half days.
