A band named "Rasputina" wrote a song about this. Actually, the song was very informative as I had no knowledge of this event prior to hearing it. Strange what you can learn if you're paying attention.It is interesting, and I was only joking. Volcanos can affect us here! Hopefully this one won't be that bad. The "Year Without a Summer" eruption from Mt Tambora shows that they can have profound climate effects.
