and just enough light to grow subsistence food for a few years will survive
and restart the human race...
I can't wait for the "restarting" part.

Instances of volcanic eruptions are their highest for 300 years and scientists fear a major one that could kill millions and devastate the planet is a real possibility.
Experts at the European Science Foundation said volcanoes - especially super-volcanoes like the one at Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, which has a caldera measuring 34 by 45 miles (55 by 72 km) - pose more threat to Earth and the survival of humans than asteroids, earthquakes, nuclear war and global warming.
There are few real contingency plans in place to deal with the ticking time bomb, which they conclude is likely to go off within the next 80 years.
The world's most dangerous active volcanoes include Yellowstone, Mount Vesuvius in Campagnia, Italy, and Popocatepetl i near Mexico City.
If any of them or other massive volcanic peaks suffered a major eruption the team said millions of people would die and earth's atmosphere would be poisoned with ash and other toxins "beyond the imagination of anything man's activity and global warming could do over 1,000 years.
The chance of such as eruption happening at one of the major volcanoes within 80 years is put at five to ten per cent by the experts.

Was that modeled by the same guys with the AGW model?
Here’s a link to the site I used to create that newspaper headline:

And here’s the one for the other headline I made earlier:

We can assume a few people living in caves with natural running water and just enough light to grow subsistence food for a few years will survive and restart the human race...
And yeah, those people will be able to 'ride their bikes' to work - and reduce the carbon footprint... if by 'too work' you mean the cave entrance and a few feet beyond.,..
I believe people in Florida would be able to die off at a slower rate... might take a few weeks rather than instantly...
The government needs to give these scientists some open ended grants so they can fly first class to the South Pacific to study this problem.
I can't wait for the "restarting" part.
I may have to trade in my tin-foil hat for a corrugated steel one.
Will that help?
:-)
Ahhhhh...finally....something Bill Clinton can really help with.
:-)
I live on the East Coast. I would also live on the West Coast should this happen.
I don’t see a problem here. I love beaches.
:-)
Your link was an interesting read! Thanks so much for providing it.
Ping!.................
Nope. Oral sex & shootin’ blanks don’t help at all.
Why not diffuse the pressure and use the pressure to create electricity. I am far, far from expert but I have heard that most volcanic pressure is due to underground steam and water pressure.
Bump for reference.
It is a good one.
Thanks!
“Yellowstone about to blow?”
Damn, just when I was going to hit the Powerball!!
Human nature. It is the reason people slow down to gawk at car accidents.
For some, you can chalk it up to morbid curiosity, for others, it is an opportunity to count their blessings.
Yes, those are some of the reasons.
It’s also to game certain people who lean towards big government and government protection.
