When Indonesia's Mount Tambora erupted in 1815, it unleashed the most destructive
wave of extreme weather the world has witnessed in thousands of years. The volcano's
massive sulfate dust cloud enveloped the Earth, cooling temperatures and disrupting
major weather systems for more than three years. Amid devastating storms, drought,
and floods, communities worldwide endured famine, disease, and civil unrest on a catastrophic
scale. On the eve of the bicentenary of the great eruption, Tambora tells the extraordinary
story of the weather chaos it wrought, weaving the latest climate science with the
social history of this frightening period to offer a cautionary tale about the potential
tragic impacts of drastic climate change in our own century
