'Nuclear Winter', of course, being essentially a fraud (the numbers used were fudged by an order of magnitude to make it come out the way the proponents wanted it to). Given that, it's going to take a hell of a lot of volcanoes to get a change of more than a degree or two lasting more than a year or two (which I think is pretty much the record for volcanic effects to date). -- "Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong." -- Thomas Jefferson |
