Scientists warn of a 1-in-6 chance of a massive volcano eruption this century, which could cause global cooling.

Scientists warn that another massive volcanic eruption, similar to Mount Tambora in 1815, could occur this century with a 1-in-6 chance, causing global cooling and potential chaos. The eruption of Tambora led to a "year without summer," and a future event could be even more devastating due to a warmer climate and higher global population. Aerosol particles from the eruption would scatter sunlight, cooling the planet, and climate change could further exacerbate these effects, possibly leading to more frequent eruptions.
