Les incendies de forêts et les éruptions volcaniques sont à l'origine de rejets soufrés et de poussières diverses dans l'atmosphère : en 1815 l'éruption du volcan indonésien le Tambora propulsa dans l'atmosphère une quantité importante de particules, provoquant un affaiblissement du rayonnement solaire visible des USA et de l'Europe, ce phénomène mit quelques années à disparaître; plus récemment l'éruption du Pinatubo en 1991 libéra 12 millions de tonnes de poussières volcaniques. 4, record 2, French, - att%C3%A9nuation%20du%20rayonnement%20solaire
