In April 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia experienced the biggest volcanic eruption in human history. The eruption killed up to 12,000 people. The event, which lasted two weeks, blew millions of tons of dust, ash, and sulfur dioxide into the Earth’s atmosphere. That blanket of ash shielded the planet from the sun and it led to “the year without a summer.” The USA and Europe saw heavy snow falling in June, and a deadly frost set in during July and August. In addition to food shortages, climate change caused diseases and the migration of people looking for a better home. As a result of the volcanic eruption, crops had been poor for several years, between 1816 and 1819 typhus epidemics occurred in parts of Europe, and more than 65,000 people died only in Britain because of the typus. Humans always experience disasters and diseases, just like the current covid epidemic and we can never know what’s coming next.
