And Speaking Of #Volcanoes and #Earthquakes and #Climate Oh My: While idiots and imbeciles in positions of power wreak havoc with their jackassery the curtain is rising on an even larger planetary scale drama. The planet itself has launched into a routine modern humans have never seen before. Earth's very core has pulled a corker, Actual volcanoes and seismic activity have shifted in unexpected ways and a few glaciers are sliding free of their moorings.Shall we talk space weather and big rocks ?

These stratospheric #aerosols acted as a massive planetary mirror, increasing the Earth's albedo. They scattered incoming shortwave solar radiation back into space while allowing longwave terrestrial heat to escape, causing abrupt cooling. This dimming caused widespread Eurasian crop failures for 18 months, proving that while nature has powerful levers like volcanic forcing, none are positioned to force modern temperatures upward.

Section 5: Volcanic Aerosols and Planetary #Albedo

To understand past cooling events, like the Little Ice Age or the late antique Little Ice Age following the Roman warm period, the primary driver was stratospheric volcanism rather than a drop in solar output. Clustered massive volcanic eruptions in 536, 540, and 547 AD injected colossal volumes of sulfur dioxide directly into the stratosphere, where it oxidized into highly reflective sulfate aerosols.

New article in Science
Still difficult to forecast volcanic eruptions

In a new article in the journal Science, Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson, professor of geophysics at the Institute of Earth Sciences at the University of Iceland, and Christopher J. Bean, professor at the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, say that despite significant advances in recent decades in monitoring #volcanoes, scientists are far from being able to forecast exactly when eruptions will start, ...

A single day of attacks on Iranian oil refineries released as much sulfur dioxide as a volcanic eruption

Fires from March 7 airstrikes created a sulfur dioxide plume spanning 185,000 square miles.
