An article on Producer.com, a Canadian agricultural website, about the possibility Iceland's recent volcanic eruption could cause a European crop failure quotes Marcus Bursik, professor of geology, who says the only way a volcano could have that type of impact is if it spewed a massive amount of ash high enough into the air that it reached the stratosphere and blocked the sun.
