minus-squarePons_Aelius@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoLarge volcanic eruptions have a cooling effect due to the large amount of aerosols injected into the upper atmosphere. It mimics/is the inspiration for the geoengineering idea (highly impractical at the scale required) of high altitude aerosols injection to slow global warming.
minus-squareRonno@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up0arrow-down1·2 years agoAre you saying that earth might be defending itself against our aggression? Interesting
minus-squareMercuryUprising@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·2 years agoVery unlikely that something like the biosphere and geology are connected symbiotically.
