If this thing went off global warming would cease to be an issue

I'm not convinced of that. I think the global warming loons are so heavily entrenched in the idea, that they would still blame the eruption on AGW and chastise the so called deniers for preventing action soon enough to thwart the pangs of a dying earth. Heck, they might even label it as the day that will live in infamy as global warming consequences day. The zealotry force is strong in the warmists. It is a cult like ecstasy mixed with mass hysteria.

A few summers with snow at moderate latitudes will convince them. That and the fact that millions fewer will be burning fossil fuels in their cars. That will be offset by funeral pyres and burning sod to stay warm.
