On this day global warming struck Boston and dumped 6 inches of snow on the city







On April 5, 1815, a massive volcanic explosion occurred, causing global climate changes for more than a year after the event. Mount Tambora, located on the island of Sumbawa in southern Indonesia, violently erupted, and instantly killed about 15,000 people. Another 65,000 people died soon after of disease or starvation. Many tons of ash and debris were thrown up into the stratosphere, which blocked sunlight and slowly lowered the temperature globally. 1816 became known as The Year Without a Summer in the Northeast
On June 6 and 7, 1816, a significant snowstorm hit northern New York and New England, with several localities recording 6 inches of snow. It is believed that on June 7 snow flurries occurred in greater Boston, which is likely the latest seasonal instance of snowfall in Boston history. In July and August, the unprecedented cold weather pattern continued, with temperatures dropping to 40 degrees Fahrenheit on certain days as far south as Connecticut. The average temperature reduction for the entire summer was about 3-5 degrees.

The impact of the Mount Tambora explosion was far reaching. In New England alone, the event caused a large drop in crop yields for 1816, and has been attributed as a cause for the historic migration of many farmers from the Northeast to the Midwest in the 1820s.

Wasn't there a little boat trip from England to France on this date too, some 69 years ago?

Couple people flew in early to prepare the cookies and tea, IIRC.

Oops, didn't see that. Sorry, RSR.

And what is the most significant fact about this change in climate that year?

IT CHANGED BACK.

Even one of the most massive volcanic events in the history of the planet, spewing unknown millions of tons of junk and gases into the air, wasn't enough to change the planet's climate permanently. Planet Earth basically took the hit, wobbled for a moment (one year), and then brushed it off and the climate returned to normal with no lingering effects.

And the puny bacteria called Man thinks he can change it permanently?

How arrogant can you get?

I admit we do have climate change

It happens every year

We go through summer, fall, winter, and fall once every 12 months

There have been times when Earth was completely covered with snow and ice. It's climate is never static over long periods of time.

red states rule. Gee whiz! Wonder if it's really a coincidence that AL GORE was also born on that day in 1816 as the ONCE, FUTURE KING of GLOBAL BS, WARMING, COOLING, and SMELLY DIAPERS??? :)

For the 5,000th time, RSR proves he has no clue what Global Warming actually is. But it does give him something to bitch and moan about. Which is necessary to keep up his daily quota of useless drivel that he spams the board with on a daily basis.

and for the 10,000th time Gabby has posted her usual off topic post and instead went after the posetr and not the message

Gabby is very disappointed that the myth of man made global wamring has been exposed and the wet drams of far left kooks of a carbon ntax to "fix" the problem (as well as punish achievement) may never happen

Of course shining the light of truth on liberals, their policies, and resutls of those polices is what Gabby dismisses as "useless drivel" Of course is one wants a good example of bitching and moaning simply go back and read Gabby's threads and posts made during the Bush years
