It Could Get Colder

Add a potential new threat to global temperatures: Residents of southern and central Alaska are preparing for the potential eruption of Mount Redoubt volcano. Located about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage, the state's largest city, it's last eruption cycle began in 1990 and lasted for a couple of years.

What also happens when a major volcano blows is that the ash, the abrasive particulate matter, gets shot into the various jet streams up to 40,000 feet up and dispersed.

If the sun is active, some of the cooling effect is offset. But right now the sun is very quiet and the combination of new ash and a quiet sun could push down temps dramatically. Doubtful, however, that you'll hear much about this from the MSM as they are busy pushing the radical "the earth is on fire" religion of Algore.
