This is the first time I’ve ever seen the 1815 Tambora eruption listed as a supervolcano, even a small one.
Great! Something else to worry about!
We’re all living on the crust of one gigantic, all-around zit. Sooner or later...
We’re all going to die!!!!!!
Big Science meet Big Corn
Clearly, We Are Doomed. Does the article say if Gorebal Warming causes super volcanoes?
A current volcano, Chaiten in Chile, dramatically erupted after 9000+ years on May 5, and, it is still erupting. There have been concerns that as it weakens in its eruption, there might be a chaldera collapse and a resultant pyroclastic flow....some reports do not fear an explosion. This volcano is worth following, even as the news media have lost interest. One of the most dramatic volcano eruption photos ever taken is from this eruption. It is here...

We live on an active planet. An inactive planet would not be hospitable to life. It’s a trade off. Enjoy your life while it is yours.
Chicken Little is ALIVE and very, very WELL!
One can only hope that a super volcano eruption will happen soon, to save us from global warming and the melting of all ice on the surface of Mother Earth ( sarc. off).
Apparently the climate absorbed that glich and returned to "normal" within a couple of years. Obviously there was no cascading effect on the climate in spite of an event so tremendous that its effects were almost immediate.

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:

Contingency plan: lots of short season, cool weather, low light crops.
Amazing how quickly these archaeology/geology threads turn sour. I don’t post science threads anymore.
