If we were to suffer another "Summer that Never Was" scenario, would it cause any issues other than economic given that we have huge stockpiles of food now.

Been bugging me. Initially I would expect there to be food for everyone and it would pass, but given red tape, loss of transport efficiency etc... It could be detrimental, so is the stockpile as useful as I think?




It seems that a volcano called Tamora explosively erupted in Indonesia in April of 1815. This eruption is regarded by many as the largest eruption in recorded history. On the Indonesian archipelago the impact was, of course, devastating with estimates of up to 90 million deaths. The size and violence of this eruption forced an estimated 100 CUBIC MILES of dust, ash and sulfuric acid into the stratosphere. Many scientists feel that this dust and ash was responsible for “The Year There Was No Summer”.
