Bullshit.
For example, Mt Tambura Indonesia blew in 1815, and the following year was known as the Year without a Summer. A similar eruption would devastate crops and cause mass starvation.
And scientists theorize that volcanoes caused the Little Ice Age. And ...
"The Toba eruption was a supervolcano eruption that occurred around 74,000 years ago during the Late Pleistocene[1] at the site of present-day Lake Toba in Sumatra, Indonesia. It is one of the largest known explosive eruptions in the Earth's history. The Toba catastrophe theory holds that this event caused a severe global volcanic winter of six to ten years and contributed to a 1,000-year-long cooling episode, ."
The phrase 'Year without a Summer" was a buzzphrase created by the press (some thing don't change!).
Spring and summer arrived as usual. The volcano didn't change the declination.
Temperatures recorded in various locations in England in summer were even usual, but with occasional periods of rain that lasted longer than usual, and even frosts at night in June that were unusual. This caused some crops to fail, particularly in Ireland (potato plants can be damaged by over watering).
This weather did NOT occur at the same time Mt Tambura blew up (Apr of 1815) but in the completely different year and time of year (mid Jun to early July of 1816).
Yeah, I know everyone like to blame Mt Tambura for the lousy weather in 1816 in England, but that's just speculation and too much of it doesn't add up. For one thing, neither England nor the North Sea are downwind of Mt Tambura, and other parts of the world were not affected (except parts of India).
There is no theory of science about past unobserved events.
Any scientist spewing theories about past unobserved events is spewing religion, not science.
