Maybe I have it wrong but wouldn't a couple of "cataclysmic volcanic eruptions"
cause a global winter?
Not according to this study. Cataclysmic volcanic eruptions in Greenland and the British Isles brought on a destructive bout of global warming 55 million years ago, an international study revealed Thursday. The findings are important 55 million years after the fact, because the volcanic activity released large amounts of methane and carbon dioxide and warmer temperatures followed -- just as scientists warn is happening today.
Who do we believe? Oh yeah...I forgot. Regardless of what happens it was or will have something to do with global warming. I am sure of it. Although, if we had a couple of massive volcano's belch their contents into our air, I don't think global warming would be a very HOT topic any longer.
