A strong volcanic eruption will cause 'climate chaos' on Earth - climatologist.

Professor Markus Stoffel reported that a powerful volcanic eruption could occur this century, causing 'climate chaos'.

Scientists remind us of the eruption of Mount Tambora in 1815, which resulted in a drop in temperature and famine. Currently, scientists are observing potential volcanic eruptions that could happen anywhere.

'Humanity has no plan', said Professor Stoffel. 'The consequences could be even worse than in 1815,' added Professor Michael Rampino.

The impact of volcanoes on climate

Volcanoes affect climate formation, create an atmosphere, and can change it.

During an eruption, a volcano releases lava, ash, and gases, including carbon dioxide. This gas warms the planet, but its effect is less than that of fossil fuels.

For scientists, the role of sulfur dioxide is interesting. Its eruption can lead to cooling of the planet. 'These particles spread around the world and this lasts for several years,' explained Professor Alan Robock.

Even a small eruption, like the Pinatubo volcano in 1991, was able to cool the world by 0.5 degrees Celsius for several years.

Volcanic eruptions can also affect precipitation and monsoons, particularly in Africa and Asia. Professor Robock declared: 'A large eruption can disrupt temperature differences that lead to the formation of monsoons.'

Climate change can also impact volcanic systems. Melting ice can lead to increased eruptions. More intense precipitation can trigger eruptions when it interacts with magma.

An eruption has begun at one of the world's most active volcanoes in Hawaii.
