This might be a wacky idea, but all the talk about how Oh Perilous World came out of headlines got me wondering if this song is relating the occurrence in 1816 with the current global warming debate.

"During the most severe years of this little ice age We looked for scapegoats to blame" "The eruption of the volcano Tambora That was the real cause discovered by some explorer Years later, looking back at the past"

May be referring to how many people believe that global warming is all talk, and years from now we might find that the planet is heating due to natural conditions having nothing to do with humans.

Please god don't let this comment start a global warming fight on here >_< Just putting my two cents in, that’s all.

I think it is possibly from natural causes or, something cosmic...and maybe there is a few reason's why the average Joe believes in this global warming monster and isn't given even at lest another pitch on the story...all i gotta say is from my personal observation winters are getting colder, and summers hotter, at lest in my neck of the woods. In Al Gores own movie he states 0% of the scientific articular doubted global warming, but that was 10% he says of all articulars published...no one noticed? What did the other 90% think? No doubt our energy is hurting...
