[Bernard Marx]

Everyone run with hands in air screaming end of world, it is no end of world.

Probably not. It'll just be that population "adjustment" the Malthusians have been asking for. The question is whether it'll be better to survive or die and get the misery over quickly. Surviving a disaster like that will be one rough Darwinian adventure.

Yellowstone is dangerous with worldwide implications but you might do well to study the volcanic situation in Kamchatka, a little closer to your home. Look up volcanoes like Bezymianny, Karymsky, Klyuchevskoi, Avachinsky and others. Check out the Kuril Islands too.

[Robert A Cook PE]

The Kurile Island eruptions aren't a real serious ..... to him.

The prevailing winds will blow it OUR way, though with a lot of simple deposits in the bottom of the Paciifc. Much more to Japan, the Koreas, Aslaka, Canada.

Not a problem for almost all points east of thos islands, and there ain't a lot of Russians living nearby!
