535-537 AD are thought to be pretty bad for much of the world
As good ol' Rahm Emanuel observed, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste." Left unsaid was the part about creating your own crisis, if there wasn't a real one around when you needed it...

The Krakatoa eruption of 535 ushered in several years of cold “dark age” when grain crops in the Holy Roman Empire failed. It ushered in the first of the plagues which persisted for centuries in Europe. The kill off of Roman grain eaters in the middle east ushered in the migration and takeover by beef-eating Turks from the Steppes. The population void gave us Muhamed’s goat-eating armies and Islam.
Modern CO2 is a non-existent blip.

Yellowstone will eventually go off, and that will be the last of the global warming talk.
Does Catastrophism explain the mistaken idea that the earth is significantly older than 6,000 years?

If the entirety of Earth’s history was a bar graph, with the height of the Empire State Building as the representation, the entirety of human history would be the thickness of a postage stamp on the top of it.........
Thanks Red Badger.
If there is a massive eruption that causes global cooling with a year or two without a summer, we can totally fix it if we raise the price of fossil fuels
There were ‘people’ around, so what did they do?................
[snip] In the last glacial period, many Greenland tephra deposits have been associated with Icelandic eruptions, while around a dozen of identified tephra layers originate in North America and eastern Asia (Abbott and Davies, 2012; Bourne et al., 2015; Davies et al., 2014). In Antarctica, tephra layers have been identified and associated with eruptions occurring within Antarctica and in the Southern Hemisphere (Narcisi et al., 2005, 2010, 2012). Recently, Mcconnell et al. (2017) identified tephra from the long-lasting and halogen-rich Antarctic Mount Takahe eruption that occurred around 17.80 ka. Tephra of the Oruanui eruption from the Taupo volcano in present-day New Zealand has been identified and dated to 25.32 ka before 1950 CE (BP) in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet Divide ice core (WDC) (Dunbar et al., 2017).

74,000 years ago was the human population bottle neck. Our genome tells the story. We went down to a single tribe of 2,000 individuals. The volcanoes almost destroyed us. Once past this we contended with Neanderthal and other sub species.
