[00:18.90]In the spring of 1315,
[00:25.29]There began an era of unpredictable weather.
[00:31.77]It did not lift until 1851.
[00:36.84]You remember 1816 as the year without a summer
[00:47.01]June 1816,
[00:49.41]A sudden snowstorm blankets all the countryside,
[00:55.62]So Mary Shelley had to stay inside and she wrote Frankenstein,
[01:00.84]Oh, 1816 was the year without a summer.
[01:21.09]Grain couldn't ripen under these conditions,
[01:26.79]It was brought indoors in urns and pots.
[01:32.49]It'd go from ninety-five degrees to freezing within hours,
[01:38.70]A brutal struggle for the people and the starving livestock.
[02:01.17]During the most severe years of this little ice age
[02:07.62]We looked for scapegoats to blame.
[02:12.18]Many people tried to blame it all on a vast Freemason conspiracy,
[02:17.91]Or Benjamin Franklin and his experiments with electricity.
[02:26.55]The eruption of the volcano Tambora
[02:28.95]Blanketed the earth with ash.
[02:37.50]That was a real cause discovered by some explorer
[02:43.44]Years later, looking back at the past.
[03:05.64]I will give you my red colour
[03:08.49]To take away your sickly pallor.
[03:11.10]For you are so very choleric of complexion,
[03:14.55]Please beware the mounting sun and all dejection.
[03:17.64]1816 was the year without a summer.
