Oddly, Krakatoa occurred at roughly the end of the Little Ice Age.

Another example of "scientists" following the post-modern "scientific

Nonscientists generally do not want to bother with understanding
the science. Claims of consensus relieve policy types, environmental
advocates and politicians of any need to do so. Such claims also serve
to intimidate the public and even scientists...there is a clear attempt to
establish truth not by scientific methods but by perpetual repetition. --
