Don't quote me, but I remember reading somewhere that so much vegetation was burnt in Australia's December 2019-january 2020 bushfire that the ash plumes cooled the planet 0.25-0.5 Celsius, owing to it blocking the sun partially.

Again, I'm not sure if it was real or just nonsense.

>The year 1816 is known as the Year Without a Summer because of severe climate abnormalities that caused average global temperatures to decrease by 0. 4–0. 7 °C (0. 7–1 °F).
