Volcanic cold snaps reveal measurable links between eruptions and historical upheaval

Volcanic cold snaps are not merely geological footnotes. They are measurable, empirical links between eruptions and human upheaval. History shows that these abrupt temperature drops have spurred famine, disease, and revolt. Understanding this connection sharpens our view of climate's role in society. It also reinforces why integrated, peer-reviewed data matters.
