Unless we have an eruption and the result is a summer without a summer event again causing world famine, war, political chaos.......that was probably a 6 or 7 on the scale.....

One of the most deadly volcanos in history was a VEI 4.

News for people here. We are still in the midst of the after effects of the Tonga event. That’ll last another few years if, there isnt another mass ejecting event that blows through the tropopause and into the upper atmosphere.
Anywhere from 20 to 40, or more, volcanic eruptions are ongoing at one time worldwide.
Without them, earth ceases to exsist.
With a hyper eruption event, earth as we know it, ceases to exsist.
