yup, that one event didn't make it up to 10k feet. But as pointed out, it was like twilight, and the temperature dropped 5C. Asia was spared. But if you continue on, you'll find more recent research, both pro an con. I think it's still a completely reasonable foundation for a dystopian fantasy story.

We probably won't agree on this point. I think we can agree, let's not find out.
