Lab 6 Discussion

Question

Please read this short article about Mount Pinatubo before participating in this week’s discussion:

https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/1510/global-effects-of-mount-pinatubo (Links to an external site.)

 

  1. What effect did the Mount Pinatubo eruption have on the planet’s albedo?
  2. What kind of feedback loop is this?
  3. Knowing what we do about Mount Pinatubo’s effect on the global temperature, will/did the recent eruption of the Hunga volcano in the Pacific island nation of Tonga have the same effect? Why or why not?
  4. Do you think humanity should rely on/wait for a large volcanic eruption to slow down global warming? What might the consequences of this be?
