The reasons the models get more pronounced is that they get more accurate. Each model has more data from volcanoes, atmospheric air movement, bigger computers, etc. The original tests of atom bombs gave loading data of the amount of dust that was picked up.

One really big volcano gives a great model because it can cool the whole planet. We have several examples of this type of dust shielding from which to model.

The science is not that complicated (block the Sun and the Earth cools).


yea, they test these bombs all the time, and there is at least 20 volcanoes erupting right now... the article is just a CT, trying to scare people...


Bomb testing has moved underground and almost doesn't exist anymore except for North Korea so there is no more atmospheric data to be had. However, when we and the Russians were doing open air testing, a main source of data was "fallout", i.e., how much dust, where did it go, and how long did it stay around. The data on bombs is way more accurate than volcanoes because every volcano is different.


true, most volcanoes won't do much, but every know and the there's one like Krakatoa than can influence the atmosphere... and they have never set off more than one or two at a time, so i guess they can extrapolate if a dozen nukes are going...


Yellowstone, were sittin on a time bomb.....


yea, i was watching some video's of animals running away from yellowstone... moose and bison, mostly... but animals do have a sense about these things...


Here's one leaving now.
