Global warming - a natural solution ?

[Blaze]

Currently the human race is paying lip service to global warming because there's far too much money involved. Will nature finally fight back with a solution that could be devastating ?

In 1815, the Indonesian volcano Tambora blew its top and is the most powerful volcanic eruption ever recorded.

The ash from the eruption column dispersed around the world and lowered global temperatures in an event sometimes known as the Year Without a Summer in 1816. This brief period of significant climate change triggered extreme weather and harvest failures in many areas around the world.

Then there was Krakatoa in 1883

The eruption caused a volcanic winter. In the year following the eruption, average Northern Hemisphere summer temperatures fell by 0.4 °C (0.72 °F)

Some call me a pessimist but I say a realist.
Have been saying that mankind has FKD up the planet and one day will pay the price.
It survived the catastrophic time which wiped out loads in the dinasour era, so will it with mankind.

Yep, the end of an ice age eventually leads to a new ice age, so eventually after the heat it'll get really really cold.

And the life forms that can adapt will survive, the rest won't. No amount of political bullshit will make any difference.

Sadly many of those individuals that make plans for their own survival, often at the expense of others, are the most deserving of extinction.
