Would the radiation really affect the temperature all that much? Would
it block that much radiation from the sun? I can't find it now, but I
remember reading once how much effort man would have to make to have the
impact of one large volcanic eruption, and it was a huge effort.

True. Even a good super cell thunderstorm has an amazing amount of power.
A hurricane, or volcano..... no contest.

I had a grandfather in law who was getting a little ... senile, or is it
crazy? He was very sharp on pretty much everything. He gave it all away,
when talk of hurricanes came up.

He insisted that if you were to drop a hydrogen bomb in the eye of a
hurricane, it would blow it apart, and thus remove the threat to land. He
said, "they have done it before, why don't they do it again?"

Hummmm. g
