Sorry to burst Alan's bubble but, apparently, the volcanoes didn't get the memo that the "lyin' king" has a pen and phone and isn't afraid to use them. If jellystone ever pops, it's gonna be a bad few days that even john f'n khon-kerry-heinz can't deal with. Volcanoes are equality based killers. They don't discriminate. At all.

From the link:

Look around you. Pretend you’re a dinosaur Then remember they dominated the Earth for thousands of years until Nature eliminated them.

(emphasis mine)

Boy...a stupid error like that lends to automatic mocking of the whole content by the AGW-morons.

Really, REALLY stupid (but for the record, absent the egregiously-ignorant error, good piece).

It’s a interesting article... but, it gives the incorrect impression. The writer gives the estimated CO2 contribution of volcanoes each year, but doesn’t show how that figure compares with current levels of human CO2 contribution.

In fact, on average humans produce about 100X more CO2 each year than volcanoes. Of course, a big one like Yellowstone could make up a lot of ground for the “fire-mountains”. But, overall... volcanoes are not a major source for CO2.

Don’t let this article give you the idea that they are.

Actually, if Yellowstone goes it’s gonna be a bad few years if not decades. No super volcano has erupted during historic times. The effect would be devastating and global. Similar to a large comet or asteroid strike.

The birds, gators and their cousins are still here.
