Yesterday Krakatoa in Indonesia erupted producing a tsunami which killed 220+ persons so far.
The last major eruption of Krakatoa was August 1883. At that time "The pressure wave from the final explosion was recorded on barographs around the world. Several barographs recorded the wave seven times over the course of five days. Hence, the wave rounded the globe three and a half times. Ash was propelled to a height of 80 km (50 mi).
The 1883 eruption ejected approximately 21 km3 (5.0 cu mi) of rock, ash, and pumice. Average global temperatures fell by as much as 1.2 degrees Celsius in the year following the eruption. Weather patterns continued to be chaotic for years and temperatures did not return to normal until 1888."
The activity in 1883 was not one, but a series of volcanic events over a number of months.
The Pacific ring of fire is showing consistent signs of increasing activity. Maybe we have a natural solution for 'global warming' just getting starting.
