    It's a natural process, what are we to do? Observe and comply to what comes next. If it means the coming months the UV ratings will be higher we'll just adapt. Less in the sun, more sunscreen etc.

      I'm afraid there are many groups (of, say, different minded people) that precisely know what we should do to stop that. They won't accept "natural process" as objective and probably say that...

      Strange world. I completely agree with you - we will observe, measure and adapt.

    Doesn’t sulphur dioxide also act as an anti-greenhouse gas? Volcano eruptions are just a part of living on earth. They’ve happened before and they’ll happen again. Wear some sunscreen and big hats...

    Volcano eruptions are just a part of living on earth. They’ve happened before and they’ll happen again. Wear some sunscreen and big hats and wait it out. Life will go on.
