We had four years without summer when Pinatubo blew its cork.

“rumored to be responsible for the extinction of the Neanderthals”

I thought the Neanderthals were done in by unchecked immigration from africa

Prolly got a large government grant to 'research' the idea! He is still researching it. 😉

Lance a volcano?!

[RayChuang88]

I think the big worry is that this large volcano could produce at minimum an eruption at the level of Mount Tambora on the island of Sumbawa in the Indonesian Archipelago in 1815. That eruption--which spewed out some 15 cubic miles of volcanic ash--literally eliminated summer in 1816 in much of the world. It has the capability to eject out two to three times that amount, and that may be enough to trigger a mini Ice Age that could wipe out much of the world's agricultural output.

Corrected your link, and yes, it’s worth watching.

I can’t access that link, but I’ve seen the Pompeii Time Lapse before, and it’s amazing - very disturbing, but an incredible accomplishment.

[Louis Foxwell]

Relieving the pressure is precisely what a volcano does.

[dfwgator]

Kind of puts things into perspective about how inconsequential anything Man does is, compared to Nature.

Not to self, get the freeze dryer machine for Christmas.

VASTLY more research dollars needed IMMEDIATELY!!!~

or we’re all gonna DIE!
