Did a Volcano's Eruption Cause a Global Famine?

This video is about how volcanic eruptions can cause global famines. Large eruptions send gases high into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight and cooling the planet. This can lead to crop failures due to cold temperatures and altered weather patterns, resulting in food shortages and famine. The video focuses on the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia, which caused “The Year Without a Summer” in 1816, leading to widespread famine and hardship in Europe and North America. It also discusses the 1783 Laki eruption in Iceland and its impact on European harvests and food supply, demonstrating that volcanic eruptions are a serious threat to global food security.
