yep. Krakatoa IIRC cooled off the globe for about 2 years but as a consolation, the sunsets were awesome. There's a series of paintings done by an English artist of these sunsets. I just can't recall his name.As a general rule, a small volcano can cool the earth for about a year. 1980 was a really cold year after St. Helens. And Pinutabo had a cooling effect as well.
Worst cold spell for a long time was after Krakatoa. That was a year without a summer. And the winter of 1888 was spectacularly awful.
So look for next year to be another cold one.
Interesting.
