Podcasts about Mount Tambora

Mount Tambora is a volcanic mountain in Indonesia. It may be hard to imagine how an eruption there could affect the Great Plains, especially from so far away on the other side of the world. But on this date in 1815, it did exactly that. The eruption began on April 5, with small tremors hinting at a major event. Then, on the evening of April 10, a cataclysmic explosion blew the mountain apart. A thick cloud of hot rock fragments and gases, known as a pyroclastic flow, rolled down the mountainside. The explosion and the tsunamis it triggered killed 10,000 people and destroyed 35,000 homes. And that was just the beginning.

On April 10, 1815 the most powerful volcanic eruption in human history was recorded on an island in Indonesia. The ash cloud that formed with its explosion was as large and the entire country of the United States and hovered close to 12 miles above the earth, reaching the stratosphere. The results were catastrophic. It resulted in major climate changes, where in most of the world, summer never came. Wildlife and humans alike were left without sources of food while the landscapes changed around them. Roughly 100,000 people died in the immediately aftermath, but the death toll is estimated to be closer to 1 million around the globe. The time following the eruption has now been remembered in history as, The Year Without a Summer. Come see us in Joshua Tree! Buy tickets here.

Book:Tambora: The Eruption that Changed the World. by Gillen D'Arcy Wood

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 332 - DarknessThe Vampyre and Frankenstein are two liteary works that came out of the literary competition at the Villa Diadati - but another lesser known work is Lord George Gordon Byron's Darkness.  There is a lot of information in this episode - after an introduction, I am going to analyze the poem line by line - and then when you hopefully have more of an idea of what is about, I will read the entire poem without interruption.Now Lord Byron's poem "Darkness" is a powerful and even apocalyptic vision of a world devoid of light, life, and hope. Written in 1816, it reflects the anxieties of its time, particularly the environmental and social upheavals caused by the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815, which led to the "Year Without a Summer." This analysis will explore the poem's background and content, including a line-by-line breakdown.  And let me apologize in advance, the subject matter of Darkness is very powerful, but can come across as a complete downer.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - This is Episode 330 - The Year Without a Summer, Part One - the 1815 explosion of Mount Tambora would have been much longer, and much louder, and become an ecological terror.Now, In the past few episodes, Poe has delved into Ivan the Terrible and Vlad the Impaler - two historical figures, whether by sensibility or mythology, have played a role in the development of Poe's approach to subject matter for writing - but an event occurred in 1815 that changed everything - an weather event that inspired literary works such as Lord Byron's poem Darkness and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (1818), reflecting themes of despair influenced by environmental catastrophe.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

On today's episode, we discuss the impacts of the largest volcanic eruption in human history - the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora, which would impact the entire world and bring on a volcanic winter: the so called “year without a summer”.

The eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815, one of the most powerful in history, led to global atmospheric disturbances, a year without summer, and profound societal and cultural impacts, inspiring scientific inquiry and highlighting the interconnectedness of natural events and human societies.

The explosion was estimated to be four times more powerful than the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, making it the most powerful volcanic eruption in recorded ...

On Today's episode the history guy tells two stories of volcanic eruptions, and the dramatic ways these eruptions affected human history. First he talks about the lesser known victims of Vesuvius in 79AD, and then he talks about one of the most powerful eruptions in human history, Mount Tambora.

Brigham Young gets a lot of credit as the "American Moses," but it's nothing compared to the work Joseph Smith did to earn that title. Moses led the people for many years, from place to place, but he never entered the Promised Land--like Joseph Smith. Joshua was the one who led the final trek into their new home--THAT'S Brigham's parallel. The Latter Day Saint movement (Utah Mormonism, et al) lives within the broader category of millennial restorationism. Not your typical Protestants, these guys believe in an angelic restoration of the church after a complete apostacy from the divinely appointed church. The volcanic explosion of Mount Tambora in 1815 is credited with not only the bad weather that brought us Frankenstein's monster, but also with moving the Smith family from Vermont to where they would find the Golden Codex of Mormon. Who was Joseph Smith? What did the early Mormons believe? What's the deal with polygamy? After considering the Smith family connection to Methodist and Presbyterian churches in the Second Great Awakening, we take time to explore the principal Mormon sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, Ordination, Endowment, and Marriage. Polygyny (a subset of polygamy) deserves some special attention, and we deliver. Joseph Smith reported countless angelic and divine visitations, and it was an angel that instructed him relative to the Book of Mormon as early as 1823. It's worth noting that the "Mormon Bible" is a poor label for the Book of Mormon, since the church officially sticks with the King James Version (KJV) of the Bible in English-speaking congregations. In 1844, Joseph Smith and his brother Hyrum were assassinated while in jail, murdered by an angry mob. We explore some of the details that led to their martyrdom. This week's episode is the first half of a two-part exploration of the Mormon tradition. Next time we'll talk about the splits before and after the assassination, and what makes the Brighamite Majority LDS Church in Utah (Latter-Day Saints, with a hyphen) different from the others. All this and more.... Support us on Patreon or you can get our merch at Spreadshirt.Join the Community on Discord.Learn more great religion factoids on Facebook and Instagram.

In 1815, Mount Tambora ejected so much ash into the atmosphere that the sky darkened and the Sun was blocked from view.

In this episode, Ian tells Liv about a volcano that erupted in 1815, Mt. Tambora, in Indonesia. However, the devastation this volcano causes to the entire planet is unlike anything we've seen in over 200 years, and the world reacts accordingly. Also, Liv fantasizes about Woody Harrelson.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is being deployed in weapons systems all over the world, from small, robotic dogs with guns attached to a terrifying Russian underwater drone called Poseidon that may carry a nuclear warhead twice as powerful as the largest device ever tested.
 We also discuss a warning by vulcanologists that the earth has a 1 in 6 chance of a major eruption by the end of this century—something like the Mount Tambora eruption in April of 1815 that caused the “year without a summer,” leading to crop failures, famine, and disease outbreaks worldwide.

Dave is bringing his A Game this week. He reckons this topic is the reason we have this podcast at all! He'd better deliver...Aaaand, annoyingly, he does. Well, not him but his expert, Gillen Darcy Wood, a hugely qualified man who has literally written the book on Mount Tambora and its huge effects on our planet and its people. Neil does get rather worried about humanity's imminent doom from a volcanic event but is also mildly distracted by a new space movie franchise and Elton John's Mexican food truck. Hosted on Acast.

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1648 On this day, Elias Ashmole (books about this person), the English antiquary, politician, astrologer, and alchemist, wrote in his diary, Having entered upon a study this day about three o'clock was the first time I went a simpling; Dr: Carter of Reding and Mr. Watling an Apothecary there, accompanying me. To go "a simpling" was an early term for botanizing. People would gather "simples" or medicinal plants, so Elias went out with a Dr. Carter and an Apothecary. They were no doubt looking for herbal remedies.   1816 During June, in New England, six inches of snow fell. The entire year of 1816 was freezing. Every month of the year 1816 had a hard frost. Temperatures dropped to 40 degrees in July and August as far south as Connecticut. This is known as 'The Year Without a Summer' in New England. The weather anomalies originated from the volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora the previous year. The enormous volcanic explosion in recorded history spewed small particles that were light enough to spread over the atmosphere the following year. The impact on the world's climate was profound. The earth's temperature dropped an average of three degrees Celsius across the globe. On the bright side, the terrible summer of 1816 served as an inspiration to many writers. In Lake Geneva, Switzerland, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein while on vacation with her husband, the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley and the poet Lord Byron. Thanks to nonstop rain and gray skies, the three writers had been stuck inside for days. On the same trip, Lord Byron wrote Darkness, his poem that begins, I had a dream, which was not all a dream.  The bright sun was extinguished.   1864 On this day, the famous American writer and political reporter, John Beauchamp Jones ("Bo-shamp"), wrote in his journal: Clear and hot, but with a fine breeze-southwest. Yesterday, I learn, both sides buried the dead...  What a war, and for what?   And then, after giving some updates from the battlefield, John wrote: Small heads of early York cabbage sold in market to-day at $3, or $5 for two. At that rate, I got about $10 worth out of my garden.  Mine are excellent, and so far abundant, as well as the lettuce, which we have every day.  My snap beans and beets will soon come on.  The little garden is a little treasure.   John Beauchamp Jones was born in Maryland and served as a Confederate soldier during the Civil War.   2022 National Garden Exercise Day Gardening is a workout. Gardening is therapeutic on so many levels. The physical aspect of gardening is quite demanding and is an excellent way to build muscle and burn calories. And for many garden podcast listeners, the brain is engaged as well - learning about new plants, techniques, or general garden info. Today and every day in your garden, make sure to stay hydrated and make a point of gardening that promotes good health - take breaks, stretch, use garden chairs, add elevated beds, etc. Be careful living heavy items and tuck some bandaids, bee sting relief (like an epi-pen or Benedryl), and betadine in your garden tote. You never know when you might need a little first aid in the garden. Happy gardening!! It's National Garden Exercise day!   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Sibley Guide to Trees by David Allen Sibley  This book came out in 2009, but this is one of the best when it comes to tree-reference books. This book has over 500 five-star reviews on Amazon, and it's easy to see why — this book is laid out in such an accessible way. It's effortless to use. I keep one tucked in my garden bench in the garage because I love keeping this guide handy. And I should mention that the reason it's called the Sibley Guide to Trees is that it's written by David Alan Sibley. If that name's familiar, it's because he is the bird guide, author, and illustrator. So you have those side-by-side skills of bird identification and tree identification — and they just go together. David Sibley applies the same approach that he used with birds for the equally complex subject of tree identification. And if trees are a challenge for you, you will definitely appreciate the over 4,000 illustrations in this guide. And I had to chuckle just a little bit after reading an Amazon Q&A with David Alan Sibley about this book. They asked him, Were there significant differences in writing this book vs. the Guide to Birds? I got a kick out of David's answer: The obvious difference is that trees are much easier to find. When I needed to study a particular species of tree I could just walk right up to it and spend as much time investigating it as I needed. Birds are more elusive. I had to spend years in the field in order to build up enough observation time to draw them well.   I thought David's response was such a clue to the rest of us regarding tree identification because David spends time with trees. I can't tell you how many people I've helped identify a tree over the years after they spent a mere one or two seconds looking at a single leaf. Trees can offer us many more clues than just their leaf for identification. And this leads to another question that Amazon asked David: What would you say to someone who is a beginner at tree identification?  David said, The first thing I suggest is to spend some time with the guide. Try to become familiar with the characteristics of certain trees. Then go through the book and mark all the species that occur in your area. This will help you become familiar with the range of species that could be present so when you see an odd leaf shape, fruit, flower, bark pattern, etc.--even if you can't remember the name--you can remember seeing it in the guide. Since trees are so easy to approach, you can simply take a photo of the key parts of any tree, or pick up a leaf or other part that has fallen on the ground, and identify it at your leisure. They key identifiers will always be the shape, color and size of leaves; the color and shape of twigs; the color and texture of bark; and the tree's overall size and shape as well as habitat, any fruit or flowers, and the timing of seasonal changes. For example, in late May in the northeast, if you see a pale-barked tree with small silvery leaves just emerging (while other trees have well-developed green leaves) you can be virtually certain that is a Bigtooth Aspen. A multi-trunked, spreading tree in wetter soils, with clusters of straw-colored fruit hanging from the twigs all winter, is almost certainly a female Boxelder.   So a couple of great examples from David on tree identification and some great tips to keep in mind. Tree ID is often way more than just looking at a single leaf. Take your time. Look at all the different aspects of the tree and take tons of pictures. And now, with the iPhone, you can take a picture of any plant or any part of a plant, any leaf, and then press a little info icon, and then it will ask you right there if you want help with plant identification. That particular part of the photos app for me has been beneficial — and, I have to say, surprisingly accurate. So be sure to give that a try if you haven't yet. This book is 426 pages of tree identification highlighting over 600 tree species. And it's one of my favorite guides.

Maxine often incorporated garden themes into her work. She once wrote these words in her poems History Lesson,  That a man may be free of his ghosts he must return to them like a garden. He must put his hands in the sweet rot uprooting the turnips, washing them tying them into bundles and shouldering the whole load to market.   Any gardener who has battled a woodchuck will appreciate Maxine's poem, Woodchucks. This poem was written after Maxine had to battle a family of woodchucks that had invaded her vegetable garden. In the poem, Maxine examines how everyday people can find themselves in a murderous mindset. Gassing the woodchucks didn't turn out right. The knockout bomb from the Feed and Grain Exchange was featured as merciful, quick at the bone and the case we had against them was airtight, both exits shoehorned shut with puddingstone, but they had a sub-sub-basement out of range. Next morning they turned up again, no worse for the cyanide than we for our cigarettes and state-store Scotch, all of us up to scratch. They brought down the marigolds as a matter of course and then took over the vegetable patch nipping the broccoli shoots, beheading the carrots. The food from our mouths, I said, righteously thrilling to the feel of the .22, the bullets' neat noses. I, a lapsed pacifist fallen from grace puffed with Darwinian pieties for killing, now drew a bead on the little woodchuck's face. He died down in the everbearing roses.   In July 1998, Maxine was gravely injured when her horse bolted at a carriage-driving clinic. To the surprise of her doctors, Maxine managed to survive the ordeal and wrote a book about the time she spent "inside the halo," which kept her head immobilized as she endured weeks of recovery and rehab. In her 2001 book called, Inside the Halo and Beyond: The Anatomy of a Recovery, Maxine wrote, Keeping the garden going becomes for the family a way of keeping me going.  Every morning Judith climbs the hill above the farmhouse to where my fenced garden is situated, just below the pond. Everything here is grown organically. The plants thrive in a soil heavily amended with rotted horse manure and are mulched with spoiled hay. The walkways are papered with old grain bags and then covered with pine needles. It has taken years to achieve this orderly oasis, which somehow compensates for my disorderly desk drawers and the chaos of my closet. In my suburban past, I had only a few self-seeding petunias and cosmos to deal with. The yard was shady; dandelions dotted the grass. To my indifferent eye, it looked adequately tidy. But when we acquired the farm, I gradually began to see another landscape entirely. Wild asparagus appeared, waving their ferny fronds in unexpected places. In a small sunny clearing, rhubarb emerged. Garlic chives sent up little white blossoms along the house foundation and great unkillable clumps of chives with fat purple blooms ran rampant around them. Clusters of what resembled sunflowers proved to be edible Jerusalem artichokes. The first time Victor mowed the area we were slowly restoring to lawn, the wonderful pungency of fresh thyme arose from the nubbly "grass." This season, it is Judith who daily inspects my seven thirty-foot-long raised beds for insect depredation.  Whatever needs picking - broccoli, cauliflower, early green beans, lettuce, radishes, the last of the peas - she takes down to the house to be dealt with. The surplus is blanched and frozen for the winter ahead. The tomatoes are not quite ready; the corn, cucumbers, and summer squashes are still ripening, but soon there will be that gratifying mountain of veggies, the benevolent tyranny I always strive to stay abreast of, pickling, canning, and freezing. A poem of mine in praise of gardens ends [with these words]: O children, my wayward jungly dears you are all to be celebrated plucked, transplanted, tilled under, resurrected here even the lowly despised purslane, chickweed, burdock, poke, wild poppies. For all of you, whether eaten or extirpated I plan to spend the rest of my life on my knees.   Maxine died in February of 2014 at the age of 88.   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.    

In Episode 70, Dave provides two scenarios for some preparedness thought exercises. In the first scenario, he discusses the 206th anniversary of the Year Without a Summer following the 207th anniversary of the eruption from Mount Tambora before landing on the question: Do you have what you need to endure a volcanic winter? In the second exercise, he discusses his wife's near stranding in Orlando last weekend as 12,000+ flights into and out of FL were perpetually delayed or outright cancelled. This lead to the second question: Have you worked up contingency plans if family/group members and loved ones are stranded, stuck, caught unawares a great distance from home when calamity strikes?

The summer of 1816 was not like any summer people could remember. The National Center for Atmospheric Research reported that, snow fell in New England and gloomy, cold rains fell throughout Europe. It was cold and stormy and dark. 1816 became known in Europe and North America as “The Year Without a Summer.” The year before on April 5, 1815, Mount Tambora, a volcano, started to rumble with activity. Over the following four months the volcano exploded - the largest volcanic explosion in recorded history. Many people close to the volcano lost their lives in the event. Tambora ejected so much ash and dust into the atmosphere that the sky darkened and the Sun was blocked from view. The large particles spewed by the volcano fell to the ground nearby, covering towns with enough ash to collapse homes. Smaller particles spewed by the volcano were light enough to spread through the atmosphere over the following months and had a worldwide effect on climate. They made their way high into the stratosphere, where they could distribute around the world more easily. Earth's average global temperature dropped more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit. The Year Without a Summer had many impacts in Europe and North America. Crops were wiped out - either by frost or a lack of sunshine. This caused food to be scarce. The lack of successful crops that summer made the food which was grown more valuable, and the price of food climbed. Because the price of oats increased, it was more expensive for people to feed their horses. Horses were the main method of transportation, so with expensive oats, the cost of travel increased. The gloomy summer weather also inspired writers. During that summer-less summer, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, a horror novel set in an often stormy environment.

Phil and Jake are joined by singer-songwriter Tim Hause to rank volcanoes and the song “American Pie” by Don McLean on the List of Every Damn Thing.Follow Tim on Instagram (@timbillhause) and Twitter (@timBILLhause). Check out his collaboration with brother Dave Hause on the fantastic new record “Blood Harmony” (which you can also find on Spotify & Apple Music). And see them play live near you! If you have something to add to the list, email it to list@everydamnthing.net (or get at us on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook). We also have a subreddit!SHOW NOTES: Phil looked up people pronouncing “human” like “yu-man” and apparently it's how people in NYC, Philadelphia and some places in Ireland say it. Phil is from rural California and although he used to live in NYC, he moved there as an adult. This clip features a scientific explanation of how Paul Bunyan and Babe the Big Blue Ox created the Grand Teton mountain range by roughhousing. We discuss a number of volcanic-relevant geographical locations including Mount St. Helens, The Road to Hana, Mount Shasta, Panum Crater, Pompeii, Arenal Volcano and Long Valley Caldera. Dr. Pimple Popper is a dermatologist who makes videos of pimples being popped. Look, the world isn't always that great, this sort of stuff is out there. We briefly discuss a volcano that erupted in the 19th Century, affecting global weather patterns and creating a year without a summer. The eruption in question was that of Mount Tambora in 1815 (the Year Without a Summer was the following year). It's also hypothesized that a similar thing happened in the 6th Century. Joe Vs. the Volcano is a 1990 film by John Patrick Shanley (Moonstruck) starring Tom Hanks & Meg Ryan (in multiple roles). It's a fun movie that lost a lot of money. Phil talks about underwater animals that survive from “geothermal” heat, but the real term is "hydrothermal vent". These animals have a whole little ecosystem that doesn't need sunlight. They live in one of the few truly alien environments on Earth. Jake mentions the use of McLean's song in Black Widow, but we can't remember the name of the character Yelena Belova. “The Day the Music Died” is a reference to Feb. 3, 1959, when Buddy Holly, Richie Valens & Big Bopper died in a plane crash.  Jake mentions the 1969 Altamont Free Concert, which is considered one of the end-markers of the 1960s. He incorrectly refers to the killing of a woman at the concert, when in fact it was an eighteen-year-old man (named Meredith) who was stabbed to death. Three other people also died at the concert. Songs we compare “American Pie” to include “Black Betty” by Ram Jam, “Turn! Turn! Turn!” by The Byrds, “Cats In the Cradle” by Harry Chapin, “You're So Vain” by Carly Simon, “The First Cut is the Deepest” by Rod Stewart, “Night Moves” by Bob Seager, “Mrs. Robinson” by Simon & Garfunkel, “The Saga Begins” by “Weird Al” Yankovic, “Cherry Pie” by Warrant, “Sweet Potato Pie” by Domino, “Do You Know the Way to San Jose” by Dionne Warwick and “Roly Poly” by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. We compare it to a few Billy Joel songs (“We Didn't Start the Fire”, “Piano Man” and “Only the Good Die Young”). There's been an ongoing reassessment of Billy Joel (since about 2009 when this LA times blog defended him). Here's a Vice defense, and here's Jon Gabrus' "High and Mighty" Billy Joel episode. We also discuss Taylor Swift's “All Too Well” and the “American Pie” cover by Madonna. Don McLean's twenty-seven year-old girlfriend is Paris Dylan. She and former NBA player Chris "Birdman" Andersen were both victims of a catfishing scheme a few years ago that's too weird to even explain but here's an honest attempt. Here's the Cocaine & Rhinestones episode on the Louvin Brothers (which talks about blood harmonies). We never say the name of their band, but when we talk about Matt Hock & Dave Walsh we're of course talking about Space Cadet.

The year 1816 is known as the "Year Without a Summer", also the "Poverty Year" and "Eighteen Hundred and Froze To Death" because of severe climate abnormalities that caused average global temperatures to decrease by almost a degree and a half. Summer temperatures in Europe were the coldest on record between the years of 1766–2000. This resulted in major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere. Evidence suggests that this was caused predominantly what is called a volcanic winter event caused by the massive 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in April in the Dutch East Indies known today as Indonesia. This eruption was the largest in at least 1,300 years. In China the result was a massive famine. As a result of the series of prior volcanic eruptions, crops had been poor for several years; the final blow came in 1815 with the eruption of Tambora. Europe, still recuperating from the Napoleonic Wars, suffered from food shortages. The impoverished especially suffered during this time. Low temperatures and heavy rains resulted in failed harvests in Britain and Ireland. Families in Wales traveled long distances begging for food. Famine was prevalent in north and southwest Ireland, following the failure of wheat, oat, and potato harvests. In Germany, the crisis was severe. Food prices rose sharply throughout Europe and lead to peasant revolutions. In the spring and summer of 1816, a persistent "dry fog" was observed in parts of the eastern United States. The fog reddened and dimmed the sunlight, such that sunspots were visible to the naked eye. Neither wind nor rainfall dispersed the "fog". Because it was really not a fog at all – but the result of the dirt and debris hurled into the high atmosphere – the fog – so to speak was literally above the weather. The weather was not in itself a hardship for those accustomed to long winters. The real problem lay in the weather's effect on crops and thus on the supply of food and firewood. At higher elevations, where farming was problematic in good years, the cooler climate was not able support agriculture at all. On June 6, snow fell in Albany New York, frost was reported five nights in a row in late June, causing extensive crop damage as far south as Pennsylvania. New England also experienced major consequences from the eruption of Tambora. Though fruits and vegetable crops survived, corn was reported to have ripened so poorly that no more than a quarter of it was usable for food. This moldy and unripe harvest wasn't even fit for animal feed. The final blow came on September 27, 1816 when a killing frost and freeze ended the growing seas from the Mid-Atlantic State northward. The Black Frost as it become known ushered in a terrible winter of famine. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this episode, we explore the dramatic events of 1816, famously known as the 'Year Without Summer.' This period, marked by global climate change, saw catastrophic impacts worldwide following the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815. We also delve into significant historical contexts such as the end of the War of 1812, Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, and the birth of Otto von Bismarck.

The year 1816 featured unprecedented cold conditions throughout the United States and Europe. The key cause was the eruption of Indonesia's Mount Tambora in April 1815, the largest volcanic explosion in recorded history. “Mount Tambora ejected so much ash and aerosols into the high atmosphere that the sky darkened and the sun was blocked from view in many places around the world that year. The eruptions killed up to 100,000 people – some immediately from the blasts – and tens of thousands of others as a result of starvation and the resulting crop failures and disease. “It might have been millions who died in total, across the globe in the next year” said AccuWeather Founder and CEO Dr. Joel Myers. The smaller particles spewed by the volcano were light enough to spread into the stratosphere and eventually had a worldwide impact on the climate by reflecting solar radiation back into space. The Earth's average global temperature dropped 5 degrees Fahrenheit, and in some areas, the drop was more than 10 degrees.  The uncharacteristic cold ruined agricultural production in the United States, Europe and China, which led to drastic increases in food prices, as well as famine and epidemics of cholera and other diseases.  The U.S. consisted of just 18 states in 1816 and five were in New England, which was devastated by the frigid temperatures and the lack of food. Frost throughout May killed crops in several Northeast states, snow fell in June in wide areas from New York to Maine, and heavy frosts and ice storms occurred as late as July in parts of New England.  There were freezing temperatures in all 12 months of the year in New England, many of the crops failed, causing famine and triggering a western migration from New England where there was a depression and starvation. In 1815, before the effects of the volcano were known, the typesetter of the Old Farmer's Almanac jokingly printed "snow, and hail" across eastern North America for this date of July 13, 1816. The editor missed it, and the publication went to print. But because of the severe climate change; snow, and hail did fall across parts of New England on July 13. Even though later editions of the Almanac had the "correct" forecast in place, those who received the earlier editions "swore" by the Almanac the rest of their lives.

In Episode 2, Rebecca talks to Ingar Mørkestøl Gundersen about how modern flooding in Norway's Gudbrandsdalen valley led him to consider the effects of big climatic events in the lead-up to the Viking Age. Ingar Mørkestøl Gundersen is an archaeologist with the Cultural History Museum in Oslo. He graduated from the University of Oslo with a major in archeology in 2007 before going to work as a field archaeologist in Norway, England, Russia, Greece and Sweden. Ingar is completing his PhD thesis entitled Years without summers. AD 536: Crisis or adaptation in conjunction with the Museum and the University of Oslo.

On April 10, 1815, a volcano erupted in the central part of the Indonesian archipelago…Mount Tambora blew up, ejecting nearly 200 cubic kilometres of debris into the atmosphere…all that dust circled the earth, blocking out a significant amount of sunlight… That blockage was so severe that the average temperature dropped almost a full degree…the result was that 1816 has gone down in history as “the year without a summer”… There were food shortages and famines and outbreaks of disease…and not only was it cold, but huge storms battered much of Europe… That summer, four artsy types were holed up at mansion called Villa Diodati near Geneva, Switzerland…to entertain themselves on through these dark, cold, wet, rainy days, these people drank, had sex, and took opium…and they tried to outdo each other by coming up with the best horror story… One of them, John William polidori, came up with “The Vampyre” about undead bloodsuckers 80 years before Bram Stoker wrote “Dracula”…meanwhile, 22-year-old Mary Shelley, conjured up the idea of a mad scientist who created a new being by sewing together the parts of dead people…she called her story “Frankenstein”… These two stories—imagined during the year without a summer, caused by the biggest volcanic eruption in 1300 years—created the foundation of gothic fiction, a type of horror that endures today…novels, movies, comic books, fashion styles, and yes, music… In fact, the music part of this equation has blown up to the both where Goth music culture is one of the biggest musical subcultures the planet has ever seen…and that explosion happened in the wake of the original punk era of the 1970s… This is the post-punk explosion part 5: Goth… See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The summer of 1816 was not like any summer people could remember. The National Center for Atmospheric Research reported that, snow fell in New England and gloomy, cold rains fell throughout Europe. It was cold and stormy and dark. 1816 became known in Europe and North America as “The Year Without a Summer.” The year before on April 5, 1815, Mount Tambora, a volcano, started to rumble with activity. Over the following four months the volcano exploded - the largest volcanic explosion in recorded history. Many people close to the volcano lost their lives in the event. Tambora ejected so much ash and dust into the atmosphere that the sky darkened and the Sun was blocked from view. The large particles spewed by the volcano fell to the ground nearby, covering towns with enough ash to collapse homes. Smaller particles spewed by the volcano were light enough to spread through the atmosphere over the following months and had a worldwide effect on climate. They made their way high into the stratosphere, where they could distribute around the world more easily. Earth’s average global temperature dropped more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit. The Year Without a Summer had many impacts in Europe and North America. Crops were wiped out - either by frost or a lack of sunshine. This caused food to be scarce. The lack of successful crops that summer made the food which was grown more valuable, and the price of food climbed. Because the price of oats increased, it was more expensive for people to feed their horses. Horses were the main method of transportation, so with expensive oats, the cost of travel increased. The gloomy summer weather also inspired writers. During that summer-less summer, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, a horror novel set in an often stormy environment. Learn more about your ad choices.

Tennessee 200 years ago... As predicted by the Shawnee Chief Tecumseh, earthquakes shook western Tennessee with 10 times the seismic force of the San Francisco earthquakes in the late 1800s. The war of 1812 intensified the hostilities between white settlers and the Creek Nation. The eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815 resulted in the “year without a summer,” with crop failures, food shortages and migrations of settlers from the eastern states. Into this melee comes one of the most notable cases in American occult history: the Bell Witch.

Written in July of 1816 and inspired by "The Year Without Summer", the aftermath of the eruption of Mount Tambora in the Dutch East Indies the previous year, in which enough sulphur was cast into the atmosphere to change global temperatures and weather patterns. A post-apocalyptic "last man" poem. Sound Design and Narration by Jon Fredette.

In April of 1815, the volcano Mount Tambora erupted and caused a massive ash cloud that cooled the entire Earth. Americans dealt with snowstorms that occured all throughout 1816 and struggled to grow crops and keep their animals alive. 

Wherein our fearless cohosts discuss how the Mount Tambora eruption gave birth to the two greatest literary monsters, and how the Curse of The Scottish Play lead to the Astor Place Riot.

Join us in this next episode as we learn about The Four Temperaments Test, discover the author Julian May, travel to space to learn about Barnard's Star, take a trip back in history to understand the Mount Tambora eruption and finish the episode learning about a type of plant.

Because of the cold and stormy weather, 1816 became known as the Year without a Summer.

In 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted, impacting the weather throughout the world. The Year Without Summer imagines its impact on six separate lives, thousands of miles away. They include a fenland farm labourer, a soldier returning from Waterloo, author Mary Shelley and painter John Constable.

In her talk Cloud Walking: Meditations on ​‘A Year Without a Winter’, Hannah enters into the discussion of how, as the world warms and seasonal patterns betray historical records, we are called to rethink key concepts of environments that we inhabit both physically and imaginatively. From regional weather systems to the lived abstraction of a global climate, rising mean temperature, shifting shorelines, disturbed migratory routes and phenological clocks, to new avenues of economic exploitation and militarisation, the boundaries of our environs are open to radical contestation. Published two hundred years after Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; or: The Modern Prometheus – which was written amidst a global climate cooling crisis remembered as the ​‘year without a summer’ – Hannah’s book A Year Without a Winter (2018) and associated exhibitions explore the literary and visual aftermaths of the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora, in parallel with emerging narratives of environmental crisis. In this talk Hannah moves through a series of clouds generated by historical events, literature and visual art – volcanic eruptions, poems, climate models, smoke bombs and burning jungles – in search of a new way of conceptualising climate that is responsive to contemporary atmospheric conditions. Dehlia Hannah is a philosopher of science and curator. She holds a PhD in Philosophy from Columbia University, with specialisations in philosophy of science, aesthetics and philosophy of nature. Presently, she is Mads Øvlisen Postdoctoral Fellow in Art and Natural Sciences at Aalborg University-Copenhagen and Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto’s Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design. Her forthcoming monograph Performative Experiments examines contemporary artworks that take the form of scientific experiments. Her book, A Year Without a Winter (2018), reframes contemporary imaginaries of climate crisis by revisiting the literary and environmental aftermath of the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. Among her recent exhibitions are Emerge: Frankenstein (2017), Control | Experiment (2016) and Placing the Golden Spike: Landscapes of the Anthropocene (2015). Her current research examines the role of imaginary places, creatures and technologies in the history of philosophy.

I had a dream, which was not all a dream. The bright sun was extinguished.

Tea Time this week centres around exploring a tragedy of the past. 1816 was known as the year without a summer, following the eruption of Mount Tambora and it's global impacts. It's a mostly forgotten bit of history, that left a very different world afterwards. Also, Dakota reads a poem that may take you right into the darkness itself! Further reads: A survey of art created during the year with no summer and an explanation of how analyzing colour in those paintings can show us the state of the disruption to the atmosphere.Cover image is David Friedrich's 'Two Men By the Sea' - 1816.

1815: The summer of 1816 was not like any summer people could remember. The National Center for Atmospheric Research reported that, snow fell in New England and gloomy, cold rains fell throughout Europe. It was cold and stormy and dark. 1816 became known in Europe and North America as “The Year Without a Summer.” On April 5, 1815, Mount Tambora, a volcano, started to rumble with activity. Over the following four months the volcano exploded - the largest volcanic explosion in recorded history. Many people close to the volcano lost their lives in the event. Tambora ejected so much ash and dust into the atmosphere that the sky darkened and the Sun was blocked from view. The large particles spewed by the volcano fell to the ground nearby, covering towns with enough ash to collapse homes. Smaller particles spewed by the volcano were light enough to spread through the atmosphere over the following months and had a worldwide effect on climate. They made their way into the stratosphere, where they could distribute around the world more easily. Earth’s average global temperature dropped more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit. The Year Without a Summer had many impacts in Europe and North America. Crops were killed - either by frost or a lack of sunshine. This caused food to be scarce. The lack of successful crops that summer made the food which was grown more valuable, and the price of food climbed. Because the price of oats increased, it was more expensive for people to feed their horses. Horses were the main method of transportation, so with expensive oats, the cost of travel increased. The gloomy summer weather also inspired writers. During that summer-less summer, Mary Shelley wrote Frankenstein, a horror novel set in an often stormy environment Learn more about your ad choices.

An excerpt from Spencer's book Pandora's Seed about the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815.

On April 10th 1815 the world experienced a near cataclysmic event - a volcanic eruption which burnt through as much energy in three days as the whole planet uses in three months' power consumption - in 2020. The statistics are shocking, and ultimately the eruption on Indonesia's Mount Tambora, would cost an estimated 10 million lives. It also acted as a prompt for a number of innovations that affect our lives today. Today's tale is the story of the tragedy of the Mount Tambora eruption, and the innovations it spawned. Yes, I am a little raspy in this one, my voice was feeling worse for wear from a niggling 24 hour cold - and worn from 8 hours on the phones... sorry listeners.This is episode 8 in the initial 8 episode run. I will be back in 2 month's time with the next season. - Meantime the blog page www.historyandimagination.com will continue to post weekly blog postings till my return (I have written 2 months' worth and scheduled them to drop 10am every Tuesday, New Zealand time)

Over 200 years ago, Mount Tambora, a volcano on an island in Indonesia, erupted and literally changed the world. The explosion was heard 1,600 miles away and the ash was so massive that it caused the temperature across the world to drop two degrees and lead to a year without summer. It doesn’t sound like a lot, but 1816 is the coldest year on record since the 1400s and the effects of the eruption caused rivers to freeze and crops, livestock, and people to die. The impact was so severe that there were no longer horses to ride from place to place, leading Karl Drais to devise a new mode of transportation which has since been labeled “the noblest invention of mankind,” the Laufmaschine, better known to us as the bicycle.In 1 Peter, we are told that we “are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you our of darkness into His wonderful light.” (2:9)Just as the ash from Mount Tambora blocked out the sun, our sin caused a rift between us and God that led us to live in darkness. But all glory to God for His incredible gift of Jesus that cleanses us of our sins and brings us into relationship with Him, allowing us to fulfill our purpose of proclaiming the goodness of God.

Did you know that some facts about climate change in the history of the past and the present are not widely reported on the Internet today? Since, it is said ,that history repeats itself, we thought it is important to provide you with facts from independent scientists, because with knowledge comes a plan! Today, we will talk about Little Ice Age. In recent history, we have already seen how people in North America, Canada and Western Europe encountered severe climate abnormalities. The summer of 1816 never came for residents of these regions, in July there was frost and it snowed in August, which resulted in that year being called “The Summer that Never Happened, The Year Without a Summer, eighteen hundred and frozen to death”. Some scientists tried to reason this phenomenon with an eruption of the Mount Tambora volcano in the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia) and others speculated that it was due to collision of the earth with a meteorite, which spawned a nuclear winter in these parts of the planet. This event resulted in hunger and population migration. In India, the delayed summer monsoon caused late torrential rains that aggravated the spread of cholera from a region near the River Ganges in Bengal to as far as Moscow This crisis was a serious test for people of that time. How would you overcome this climate disaster? Would you help others and solve problems peacefully? About how to stay calm and help others in difficult situations read in the Report “On the Problems and Consequences of Global Climate Change on Earth and Effective Ways to Solve These Problems “ https://geocenter.info/en/pages/clima... Please like , share and subscribe Already now we can see abnormal phenomena such as snow in the Sahara desert, polar cold in Spain at the end of March, and heavy snowfalls in some cities of Russia, Europe and the USA that are absolutely not peculiar for the month of May! Nature is trying to tell us something! But what ? Have you ever thought that your thoughts can influence the world around you ? This phenomena was discovered by Dr. Masaru Emoto. He discovered that our thoughts and words can change the water forming crystals. Oh, and by the way... the average human body is 60% water! So let's stop for a minute and think about the consequences our thoughts have on our body and the world! In a next program we will take a closer look at the research of Dr. Emoto. But for now for fun keep track of your thoughts and share if you had more positive or negative thought throughout the day .

I am on a soapbox today about the politics of climate, so listen in. My take on how the government stifles technology innovation for most of us and why. More on climate coming out of NASA concerning solar cycles and how they point at a coming Ice Age.  Did you hear about this? Listen in Do you use Cash, me too. But I am going to address the dangers of a cashless society.   I am planning a Security Summer for my listeners.  I will have some free courses.  I will also introduce you to some of the software that I use for my clients and how you can use it too.  Also, I have some limited opportunities for businesses who have had enough with their security issues to work with me and my team and put their security problems to rest once and for all.   So watch out for announcements on those.

Airing date: 07/20/2019 The Politics of Climate Change, Government and why it Stifles Technology, NASA and the Coming Ice Age, the Dangers of a Cashless Society    ---- Hello, everybody. You know, I'm getting fed up with some of this. I don't know about you, but it's just driving me crazy. If you got my newsletter, this morning, you know. Hopefully, you got my email this morning. And I know now I'm trying to send it out when it's most convenient for you to so some people might not get it until Monday. It all depends on when you are typically opening and responding to my emails or send an automated message to me. You know its this whole machine learning which is the first step towards AI, artificial intelligence. That's what we're using now. The entire idea is to make this more convenient for everybody. Okay, this has me so frustrated, politics, right? We've got the left with the whole green thing, right. It's just part of their drive toward socialism in an attempt to take over everything and increase their power and authority. After all you and me, we are only regular people, we all care about the environment. I've never met anyone nor even heard of anyone who wants to destroy the environment. We all want to be comfortable. We all want to pass on a world that's better than the world we inherited to our children. There's not a soul that doesn't. I don't know anybody that is in that boat. The left, the socialists, have glommed on to this whole "green agenda thing." If you ask me it's an attempt to take over control of part of the government. It's all part of the power and control. It's like Hillary Clinton, the smartest woman who ever lived and who knew more than any of us. They're better than us, and they should have control of everything. Wouldn't you agree? I'm sure there's some listening now that don't agree with me. Right. We have a lot of great people who are left-wingers because they've got great heart, right. However, we've got to look at the real motivations behind what's happening. Why are businesses doing what they're doing? We talked about that all the time, right, about the overreach of companies and data mining. They are using it for marketing. Then the bad guys come in and take it much further. So I'm, I'm critical of big business. I'm critical of the Trump administration, and I've been critical of every administration when they did things that I thought were not in the best interest of the people. I don't want you to think I'm some right-wing wacko, because I'm not. I'm somewhat libertarian, and I'm in the middle, frankly, of everybody that's out there if anybody was in the middle of the libertarians, because we agree with some things democrats do and some things republicans do. But ultimately, I don't trust big anything. When you're talking about big government, big business or anything big you're talking about a real distortion of motivations. Big church, there's a distortion of motives, look at what's happened with the Catholic Church. And I'm not picking on them, right. It's every church out there every organized religion, look at what's happened with you name it, Eastern religions, Western religions, they take on a life of their own. The same things are true with businesses, and big business is the same thing. It is true with government. They are the worst, right? They have the guns, the money and the lawyers behind them. Ultimately, they're the ones that put a gun to your head and say, you will do this because if you don't, you go to jail. Right now they're not doing the horrific things to us, you know, solitary confinement is pretty darn horrible. But you know, they're not torturing us here in the Western world, physically torturing us trying to break us down mentally, the way they still do, and some of these Middle East countries out there. But what frustrates me is when we're talking about politics, entering the realm of something that should be common sense and science. And that's what this whole so-called green thing is. That's what the socialists have been doing. They couldn't get their way with the way they were doing things before. So now it's all about the green. I'm going to talk about green PACs. I think that's, somewhat ironic, right? I'm talking about their so-called Green agenda, where their friends who are making electric cars are going to be the winners, their friends that are making solar panels are going to be the winners, their friends, who are making these windmills to generate electricity are going to be the winners. They're not going to allow the free market to decide who's the winner. What's the best technology out there? Hydrogen fuel cells the best? Is internal combustion the best? What's the best alternative? Synthetic fuels? What's the best? We will never know because the government has stepped in before the market could decide? Look at the corn look at the ethanol that they're putting into our gasoline. It is easily provable. How harmful it has been to our environment. But who, who makes the ethanol? Where does it come from, the corn growers in Iowa. A State that the politicians who are running for President for political office need to impress. A State they want to win over on to their side. So yeah, look at all the ethanol, look at how we've helped with the farmers in Iowa. Now, we've got all this ethanol, and we're burning our food. We've got subsidies. You remember Solyndra look at Elon Musk with what's been happening with his cars. Tesla has received it's estimated around $3 billion worth of government money. Is that a crazy amount? You look at this worldwide, my I have a daughter living in Norway, and she's helping to design the next generation of ships. In Norway, if you buy a Tesla, you get a 25% savings. The government is financing 25% of the purchase price. Yeah, it's something to we will look forward to, Right. So they are getting subsidies in Norway through here, where we're giving them hard-earned money, you and me the taxpayers. It is us who are busting our butts supporting these people out in Silicon Valley and elsewhere, that are getting government subsidies, taxpayer money, look at what just happened with Amazon. Amazon is looking for another area for a corporate headquarters. We have all these states and cities saying, hey, we'll give you tax breaks. Well, that's another form of a subsidy. Think about all the things that the government supports through subsidies like Solyndra, battery technologies, solar panel companies, and installers, the windmills. None of them have to compete on an even footing with the rest of the technologies out there. How many just phenomenal, world-changing technologies got buried because they couldn't get off the ground? How can you compete with someone that has $3 billion, effectively in subsidies when you're trying to get a business off the ground? You can't. It drives me nuts when this happens. Now we hear about all about global warming? Well if you are as old as I am you remember, in the 70s. On the cover of Time magazine said we're in for another Ice Age so, the environmental scientists came up with a plan to pour black soil on the polar ice caps to absorb more solar heat preventing a mini ice age. Of course, that didn't materialize. Then it was, well, how can we use and see people, everybody cares about the environment. So let's do this, let's call this green because everybody wants to save the environment. No one doesn't want to have a great atmosphere, right, which is not what I was saying earlier. So we'll use that to gain more control over people will be able to tell people what to do, and how to do it, because they're too stupid to be able to do this themselves. And there's you'll find tons of information about that online. You know, slips of the tongue, things that people the Obama administration said, things that happened with these researchers, where their emails were exposed, where they were fabricating the so-called science of global warming. That one failed on them, right. Now its global climate change. We've to do something about climate change. Now. I agree. I do. We'll you might think, Wow, Craig, wait a minute. Where are these ideas coming from? Here's what I agree with, we should be looking at this, we should be concerned about this, but don't knee jerk. We don't have enough data and the data that we have is badly tainted, as has been proven by these emails and notes from the researchers that are researching it, severely corrupted. Now, we've got the media that refuses to report anything contrary to the socialists talking points. (Socialists being those to the left to of the Democrat Party). Or anything that isn't in line with their education in school. If you want to see some craziness, have a look at some of the campus reforms videos out there. Reporters go out, and they give a quote to the students, and the students read the quote and say, well, that's because Trump's a misogynist, a racist, etc. Then the reporter shows them a little video of who the quote was from and then all of a sudden, they just, it was, wow, I didn't think that was the case. Right? They're not researching. They're not thinking they're stuck in a paper bag known as gaslighting. A study came out last month that I bet you have not heard of This is a study from NASA. I bet you won't hear about this anywhere else, frankly. I'm looking right now at NASA's website, science dot NASA dot gov. There is an article from them. It is being reported, but not in the general news circles that the solar minimum is coming. NASA is predicting that the Dalton minimum levels of the sun's radiation. Now, for some reason, I heard somewhere that the sun might have an impact on the temperature on the Earth. Right? I know It sounds stupid to say that, but today many people are convinced that man is the cause of the temperature increases. Sorry to pop your bubble, but Earth temperatures fluctuate. And, they have for thousands upon thousands of years. Earth has had higher carbon dioxide levels in its atmosphere, and it has had higher temperatures than we have now. Think about this. If it were hotter, and we had higher carbon dioxide levels, we would have more food, and there would be denser vegetation. Everything would be healthier. A month ago, June 18, this article came out, here's what's happening. The Earth is an approaching grand solar minimum. As I mentioned, NASA is predicting this right now. And this came from a researcher with the Bay Area Environmental Research Institute at NASA's Ames Research Center. These researchers have come up with a new way of looking at sunspots using direct observations of the magnetic fields that are emerging on the surface of the sun. That data has only existed for the last four solar cycles (44 years). They used three different sources of sun observations. They looked at these cosmic cycles, which are about 11 years long. There are longer cycles, as well, which our green movement friends seem to forget conveniently. These researchers used these to forecast the strength and timing of maximum solar cycles. It was determined using data from 2000 and again in 2008 to predict the solar cycle coming to an end this year. The next solar cycle is going to start in 2020. Guess what? She was dead-on. So, now, here's what is worrying because this is pure scientific research, not the crap that they keep feeding you on the news, it is the stuff that you're not hearing about even though it's been out for more than a month. It is a reality. And the truth is forecasting a return to what's called the dalton minimum which occurred from 1792-1830. Now NASA is not predicting and not even telling you what happened during the Dalton minimum event. Here's what happened. Brutal cold, crop loss, famine, war, and powerful volcanic eruptions. Because you remember the sun's magnetic field, which is what part of what she measures one of these three measurements affects us here on Earth. Just look at the northern lights to get an idea but yeah, maybe there is an effect from the solar emissions that are hitting the Earth. So Germany had an what was called the overclock station, and it experienced to two centigrade two degrees centigrade. So give or take five degrees decline over 20 years, devastated Germany's food production. Then in the US even we had a year without summer 1816, and it was caused by this, again, solar minimum, combined with the after-effects of the second-largest volcanic eruption in a thousand years. Mount Tambora was on April 10, 1815. So we had some battles going on during this time, the Napoleonic Wars and the Battle of Waterloo. That occurred June 18, 1815, when the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon. Sixty-five thousand men died at that battle. Wow. They were preoccupied with this. There wasn't a whole lot of coverage about the entire Dalton Minimum that was happening at the time. So let's go to some records and back then. In June, this from a resident of Virginia, another snowfall came, and folks went slain. On the Fourth of July water froze in cisterns and snow fell again. With Independence Day celebrations moving inside churches where hearth fires warm things a might. Clothes froze on the clothesline in New England. Northwestern Pennsylvania reported ice in ponds and on lakes in both July and August. Virginia had frost in August. The price of oats from 1815 to 1816 increased almost eightfold. Here are some other stories from around the world. The potato crop in Ireland rotted in the ground resulting in widespread starvation. In England, France, and Germany, wheat crops failed, leading to bread shortages, food riots, and looting. Northern China got walloped with thousands of people starving to death. Southern Asia experienced torrential rains that triggered a cholera epidemic that killed many more. The year 1816 earned a nickname. It was called "800 and froze to death." We've got the politicians out there arguing about whether or not we should have ethanol in our gasoline, whether or not we should be giving another subsidy to Tesla. We are staring at what NASA is predicting, in this next solar cycle, or the one immediately after, as summer that will never come. Now we've heard about "Oh my gosh, temperatures have gone up a little over one degree Celsius." But that is in the last 50 years and those numbers, by the way, are very controversial. And there's ample evidence suggesting that they are not valid. Right now, We have an icebreaker that was that up in the northern waters of the Arctic Circle that was expecting to have full passage all the way through. Did you read about that? There is a new north passage except it is covered in ice and completely frozen now. However, we do not hear the truth all because of politics. There's a lot of yelling and screaming going on. There's a lot of first-world problems, where we're taking the blame for things that we have no control over. And yet the reality is not that it is not being addressed which frustrates me to no end. It frustrates me to no end. Look at this, wow, we're almost out of time. Hopefully, this was informative to you. You know, my friends on the left and I know you're listening, and my friends on the right, I know you are listening, too. We need to stop the political bickering. We have to solve the problems that are facing us right now. We have to get together. Congress needs to work with our President, not stonewall and yell and scream against everything the President suggests. There are some things legitimately the federal government can do, which in my estimation is to downsize itself. We have some serious problems out there we don't even have time to talk about today. Now, if you don't get my weekly newsletter, you got to get it because I never have time to get to everything here on the radio. Go to Craig Peterson dot com. There is a little subscribe box at the top, I'm asking for your name and email. I am not an internet marketer that's nailing you all of the time. Okay, I do have offers, like my security summer summit coming up in a couple of weeks. It's free, it's going to be probably a four-week course at this point, as time slides, and it's gone from six weeks down to about four weeks. In it, there will be multiple sessions every week, and I'm going to try and keep them short. It's on the brass tacks of security, what can you do to meet the Mainstream Security Standard. We will cover what do you need to do for your home or your business. Make sure you sign up for that. You'll also get the newsletter every week when we get them out. I think we got this down now. So you'll be getting the newsletter every week that has all of these articles and more so that you can stay up to date on the most important things out there — the most critical security and tech news. That's where I focus because that's what I do for my clients. A shout out by the way to Rich and Sue, who are new clients this week we're helping them with all of their security. If you have security requirements, make sure you let me know because we can help you out with that too. Whether it's DFARS, HIPAA, or PCI or you want to keep your data safe, so you can sleep at night. Again, Let me know. You can email me with your questions, and you can text me, it's just: me at Craig Peterson dot com, I always answer them, you might have to wait a few days or a week. But I will get back to you. I still do a little research if I need to. So that can sometimes take a bit longer and send you the information that you need to answer your questions. You can text me at any time. And that's simple as opening your phone if you got a question or comment or you want to make sure you get into our security summer, text me. It's simple. It's 855-385-5553, standard data and text rates apply. I'll answer a lot of these questions on the air because if you have it at least 100 other people who are listening, that have the same question. So I will, frequently, talk about it right here. That's where I get a lot of these articles from, from you guys. So you can text me your question anytime. 855-385-5553 and I can help you out. We can do a cyber health assessment for you, you know this, I do so many things for free. And I do that because I care. You see, I got hacked, and it was a lot of a long time ago. A long time ago. I think it was in 1991 that I first my company got a worm. I was trying to build my company. We were building websites were hosting email for people, and it was terrible. We got the Morris worm. If you've been on my one of my webinars, you know a little bit about what happened. I don't want that to happen to you, right. Text me or email me at Craig Peterson the meantime. A couple more articles real quick, and you'll find those in your newsletter this week. Hong Kong protests here are showing us the dangers of this cashless society and showing us that, frankly, a cashless society is a surveillance society. In Hong Kong, they have something called an octopus card, and they use it to pay for everything from the subways transit to retail parking purchases. In China, they have something very similar. It's part of a social media and messaging service called WeChat. It allows for payments. It is easy and effective. In China, you have to use it. In Hong Kong, you don't, but the transactions linked to your identity. Communist Party officials, here known as the international socialists, are using it to track people and zealots. That way they can tell you were in the area of a demonstration when it occurred, and you get tagged. Remember, in China when that happens, you are not allowed onto public transportation, you get barred from using it. Let's keep cash going. Pay with paper money when you can. I think that's important. We don't want to switch to a cashless society. There was a great study out of Montreal, about teams and social media. Again, you'll see links to these in your newsletter. Craig Peterson dot com slash subscribe because we do not have time to go through all of these but a big surprise, at least to me, in this study that I think you want to hear. I love this quote too from one of the researchers talking about depression with these teenagers social media, and a big surprise about video games. I would almost compare it to smoking in the 1970s where the very adverse effects are still relatively unknown. But they did draw some interesting conclusions. There is a bill in Congress right now. Great article from Reuters that I posted about big tech companies from offering financial services. It's called the Keep Big Tech out of Finance Act. President Trump commented on it. He's demanding that companies that want to get into this cyber currency business, seek a banking charter, and I agree with him on this one. But this whole Facebook thing that's going to be coming out here probably next year is called the Libra. It's a little scary if you ask me. A Florida DMV is selling driver's license information, your personal information to bill collectors and data brokers in Florida. They have made more than $77 million on selling your personal information if you can believe that. That's what I don't like about this whole REAL ID thing is that the State is now required by federal under federal law to comply with Real ID. Thank you, Democrats (tongue firmly planted in cheek) who voted for it in here the State when they took over New Hampshire. I don't want the government having that information because I don't want them to resell it. I'm going to do a special master class around this article from Fast Company. It is about how the hackers are using social media to break into your company and how they're doing it step by step. Keep an eye out for this as well. Take care, everybody. We will be back on Monday. I'm on with Jack Heath during drive time. Check it all out at Craig Peterson dot com. Have a great weekend, everybody. Bye-bye. Oh, and keep cool, if you can. ---  Related articles: The Fertile Garden of Social Media is ripe for attracting Cybercriminals to your Business How DMVs Make Millions – Selling Your License Information Big Tech Banks, U.S. says Not So Fast When Governments Demonetize by Force How Cold?

The eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815 was a disaster for the Dutch East Indies, but its astonishing consequences were felt around the world, blocking the sun and bringing cold, famine, and disease to millions of people from China to the United States. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll review the volcano's devastating effects and surprising legacy. We'll also appreciate an inverted aircraft and puzzle over a resourceful barber. Intro: The Veterinary Record addressed an overlooked species in 1972. Goats like towers.

We live in an age where science fiction dominates every area of entertainment: Star Wars, Blade Runner, Spider-Man and The Avengers, everyone wants a money making giant that is science fiction. But where did it come from? 1816 was the year it snowed during summer. The cause? The eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia, the largest recorded volcanic eruption. Halfway around the world, this geological event would help a young woman write the ancestor of all science fiction, a little story about a man and his supernatural creation.

Environmental history #3 of 4. The 1815 volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora changed history. The year following the eruption, 1816 was known in England as the “Year without a Summer,” in New England as 18-hundred-and-froze-to-death, and “L’annee de la misere” or “Das Hungerhjar” in Switzerland. Germans dubbed 1817 as “the year of the beggar.” The Chinese and Indians had no name for it but the years following the massive eruption were remembered as ones of intense and widespread suffering. Scientists are, only today, uncovering the historical impacts of this ecological disaster. Suddenly we have climatic data which have reshaped our understanding of the events of 1815 and the years that followed. Now it is historians’ job to explore the social, political, and cultural influence of this catastrophic event. All this and more today as we explore the eruption of Mount Tambora in April 1815.

In this episode, I'm looking at one of the most violent volcanic eruptions in history. It measures a 7 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index - dwarfing more famous events like Vesuvius in 79 AD (a 5), Krakatoa in 1883 (a 6) and Pinatubo in 1991 (another 6). This was an eruption so huge that its effects were felt all around the world.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/greatdisasters)

Today week we take on a doomsday future! We haven’t done one of those this season. So, what would happen if all the active volcanoes in the world erupted at the same time? The short answer is: bad things. The long answer is, well, you’ll have to listen to the episode!    First we talk to Jessica Ball, a volcanologist, who walks us through the different types of eruptions, what make something an active volcano, and just how bad ash is. Spoiler: it’s really bad. It gums up engines, cuts up your lungs, and is so heavy that it can collapse buildings.    But the destruction of a massive volcanic eruption doesn’t stop there. Oh no. Then Ball tells us about the ways in which volcanoes can actually impact the climate. In fact, in 1815, a single volcanic eruption at Mount Tambora caused the entire Northern Hemisphere to experience “A Year Without a Summer,” resulting in famine, death, and Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. (You’ll have to listen to the podcast to get that particular story.)    So how does one live through this kind of apocalyptic event? To find out, I called up two people who, unlike me, would probably survive: Megan Hine and Pat Henry. Megan and Pat are both sort survival experts, but they go about it in really different ways.     Megan is an adventurer and wilderness expedition leader. She takes people out into the middle of nowhere, and trains them no how to survive. People like Bear Grills, the man of the Discovery Channel show Man vs. Wild. Bear has called Megan “the most incredible bushcraft, climbing and mountain guide you’ll ever meet.”    Pat is a little bit different. Pat is a prepper, someone who is actively preparing today for a disaster that might come tomorrow. Pat is the founder and editor of a website called The Prepper Journal, which has pretty much everything you need to know about prepping, should you be worried about, say, all the volcanoes in the world going off at once.     Oh and Pat isn’t his real name. He uses a pseudonym, so that nobody knows that he has two years worth of food stored up. So when something terrible does happen, he doesn’t have to turn his unprepared friends and neighbors away.    Both Megan and Pat said that the first way to survive is by being lucky. Don’t live or be near a volcano. But after that, surviving 1,500 volcanic eruptions is like surviving any other terrible thing. You’ll need food, water, shelter, medicine. You’ll have to fight off other humans. And you’ll probably be surprised by what you can do, when push comes to shove.     And we end the episode with a note about who you want in your little gang of survivalists. You’ll be surprised who’s actually a good addition to that team. Stay tuned to the end for that.    Also! Right now I'm running a little survey for listeners. Tell me a bit about yourself, please. Thanks!    Flash Forward is produced by me, Rose Eveleth, and is part of the Boing Boing podcast family. The intro music is by Asura and the outtro music is by Broke for Free.

Celebrating two hundred years since the devastating eruption of Indonesia's Mount Tambora, this week, accompanied by music from Michael Levy, we explore the science of volcanoes. We find out what causes volcanoes, we ask whether eruptions can be predicted, how we can keep people safe, and we re-create the physics of an eruption in the laboratory.

Last half hour, Pastor Jacque McDaniel of Worship International Church will be with us to give his testimony in regards to his illness he suffered back in the 1990's. Pastor McDaniel was a successful business man until a sudden change happened. He was struck with a severe illness and mysterious illness that left him helpless. The Doctors were unsure if he suffered from M.S, stroke, or a virus. This illness impaired his vision and mobility. As of a result, he could not put on a pair of pants, shave, and he wore a patch over his right eye. His website Click HERE His new BTR Show Click HERE To Donate Click HERE
