New24: Climate-disrupting volcanoes helped topple ancient Egypt: study
„The findings, the authors said, also highlight the risk today of climate engineering schemes that would combat global warming by injecting billions of tiny particles into the stratosphere – just like a volcano – to block some of the sun’s rays. Even if so-called solar radiation management lowers the planet’s temperature a notch or two, it could inadvertently cause major disruptions in rainfall patterns. „Ptolemaic vulnerability to volcanic eruptions offers a caution for all monsoon-dependent agriculture regions,“ which today include 70% of the world’s population, the authors wrote.“
