However, even this did not seem to affect the length or depth of the ice age that was going on at the time. Although the temperature did drop at that time, the temperature pattern doesn't really differ much from the previous ice age. So maybe, be happy, don't worry.

It is that simple and that complex. We are only beginning to grasp the vast amount of systems that keep our planet friendly and habitable much less know what they do.
The earth is has a yummy, sugary candy center?
Whenever the Supervolcano under Yellowstone Nat’l Park goes off it will be beyond castrophic, 8,000x as much ash and lava as Mt. St. Helens. Hopefully it won’t happen for at least a few thousand years more, and maybe humans will have some way of dealing better with the aftermath:

Even the eruptions at Yellowstone pale in comparison with Toba.
Two hundred billion tons of sulphur dioxide alone.
Worldwide, the temperature plummeted 5-10 degrees Fahrenheit, spawning a mini ice age that lasted a thousand years.
Except for the 2-5 thousand humans who survived, we wouldn’t be here.
Refresh yourself with 'space beer'!
Look at the bright side. If man-made global warming exists, we just found a cure for it!
This sounds scary and stuff. There’s a computer model for it, has anyone told Al Gore?
He could raise awareness and make a documentary about it. Maybe we could get congress to make it illegal for volcanoes to go all supery, or something.
Contingency plan: lots of short season, cool weather, low light crops.
And they made it only because they were airlifted out by a fleet of UFO's piloted by Greys.
;’) If there’s any way to conduct such a scam, I’m sure Gore will find it. Beats workin’.
Dunno what I’m supposed to do with this Lava Light... I mean, is it risky to keep in the house? Will it go “super” on my ass?
Amazing how quickly these archaeology/geology threads turn sour. I don’t post science threads anymore.

What the heck is a grey and why aren’t they purple?
What the heck is a grey and why arent they purple?
Beats me, but according to this they do tend towards a bluish grey:

thanks for the ping DC, have’t seen your posts in a while - how are ya?
From the maps I’ve seen Denver is right on the border of the kill zone from a Yellowstone eruption. I hope it won’t be a few thousand more years!
