I wonder what would happen if there was one of those large volcanic eruptions.

There’s been a few over the last few hundred years. If there’s dust and haze it might be a respite, apart from famines due to poor harvests.

I guess we’ll find out should it happen.

We’re in a more precarious state, and these random natural events could be very tricky.

>. If there’s dust and haze it might be a respite, apart from famines due to poor harvests.

When the Canada haze hit here the temp dropped from "forecasted 90s" to "pleasant 70s" and not only were the temps lower but there was no direct sun beating down. Me and the boys were expecting some outdoor work we had planned to suck and take a long time. We ran through it in no time flat.

		You're breathing that 'haze' the whole time though. That can't be good.

AFAIK, the eruption of Mount Pinatubo(sp?) made it quite a bit harder to build the case for warming. What about the effects of that big kaboom in the Pacific a year or two ago ?
