Scientists Uncover Cause of 1831 Global Cooling Event That Triggered Crop Failures, Famines
by Jonathan Chadwick  Dec 31, 2024 in Agriculture, Geology, Health, News, Science Reading Time: 3 


It’s been nearly 200 years since a global cold snap led to widespread crop failures and devastating famines. [emphasis, links added]

Now, a new study by scientists at the University of St Andrews finally pinpoints the cause.


The Zavaritskii volcano on the remote, uninhabited Russian island of Simushir, part of the Kuril Islands, erupted in 1831, the experts reveal.

The dramatic event injected volcanic ash into the atmosphere, blocking enough sunlight to induce a brief global cooling period.

This proves the theory of Bill Gates that seeding the sky with plastic chips will reduce global warming!   Saaaaay, he didn't help finance this study, did he?

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Not news. The year without a summer (1816) was the result of the Tambora eruption of 1815. Devastating crop failures resulted.

That anyone would think doing this to the planet on purpose would be a good idea reveals a truly demented and homicidal mind.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
