    It's either that...

    or back to rereading 'Lucifer's Hammer'.

    Lucifer's Hammer. God who invented the name comic?

    Here is what really happens with low latitude volcnic eruptions:

    The whole of North America gets cauught in an ice storm, for a period of several days one Low after another takes up position across the Canadian US border the an anticyclone sets up off California and all the czjdt hits the fan.

    There is nothing planet destroying, these stupid novels are just the worst form of jounalism writ large. (Imagine Rupert Murdoch personally giving you syphilis.) Then the weather breaks and the volcanoes go away for a decase of so. And the weather goes to play elsewhere -somehwere that has chopped down all its trees.

    No harm done in the long run.

    Just a few thousand people killed here and there now and again. (Nothing like traffic statistics.)
