Volcano eruptions may shift global climate study suggests
Dr C G Abbott of the Smithsonian Observatory reports that volcanic clouds from eruptions like Mount Katmai can spread across the globe and suspend for months or years, potentially lowering solar heat by up to twenty percent. He notes smoke-like plumes observed after Katmai and cites Kra-Eaton in 1883 as example of widespread atmospheric impact, urging serious consideration of volcanic haze on terrestrial temperatures.
