GB News: Scientists warn volcanic eruption could be disastrous for humanity
Scientists warn there is a one-in-six chance of a massive volcanic eruption this century, with potential impacts likened to the catastrophic 1815 Mount Tambora event. Current climate conditions could exacerbate the effects, leading to severe crop failures and health crises.
Research indicates that a hotter atmosphere could amplify the cooling effects of volcanic eruptions, increasing the risk of widespread devastation. Vulnerable volcanoes are being mapped, particularly in regions with melting glaciers, suggesting a higher likelihood of eruptions due to climate change.
