Curse those Americans and their giant, gas-guzzling super-volcanoes! ;-)

Emissions of ash and sulphur dioxide bring global temperatures down by between 5C and 15C (9F and 27F), leading to the failure of the Asian monsoon and millions more deaths from famine.
Well, if we get Global Warming to bump up the thermostat
first, it should all even out... ;-)

"An exploding supervolcano would be a calamity to dwarf an asteroid strike or the Asian tsunami" Well, this does it for me. I'm not starting any new projects.

The scale of such a cataclysm would dwarf that of the recent Asian tsunami: the eruption could kill millions and the final death toll could reach a billion as dust thrown into the atmosphere triggers a natural “nuclear winter”.That's why God created pickles. They let me sleep at night:-)

They'll get my Mega Super Duper Volcano when they pry it from my cold dead hands. Ban volcanos? I don't think so!

triggers a natural “nuclear winter”. The author probably has no clue as to how stooopid this sounds.

Aw, I was going to use the money from my Nigerian Connection to buy me a MegaMcMansion near Yellowstone.

Yellowstone has produced three super-eruptions in the past — 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 640,000 years ago — the first being the second-largest known to science. A similar event today would lay waste to most of the continental US.That can't be right, the earth is only 8000 years old.

I sense a vague note of hope in their voice here.

Apparently the land comprising Yellowstone is rising, an indication the magma chamber is filling. Yellowstone is a caldera, and the area of the park (plus), gives some idea of the size of the collapsed volcano.

yet it has been ignored by the world’s governments, scientists said yesterday.
Not much they can do about it. Spending money on this would be a real boondoggle
