I swear, this is such a numbnuts "issue" that it's disgusting. Underneath Yellowstone Park right now is a volcanic caldera that is the equivalent of a festering zit on the planet's surface. A big huge magma chamber, according to my resident Ask-Dr.-Science, that folks who study earth geology say goes off about once every 600,000 years. When it does, it buries the entire midwest in ash. It's going to go off again, and it's due ... maybe in ten years, maybe in a thousand years, who knows.
Juan Cabrillo's diaries of his journey along the California Coast in the mid 1500s say there was SNOW all the way along the Big Sur Coast. That was only 450 years ago!! Snow there today would cause what moron eco alarmists would certainly call an "environmental disaster!"
I swear, people who fall for Man-Made Climate Disaster scenarios are as gullible and unlearned as tribal folks who cower in fear of a Western astronomer who predicts a lunar eclipse.
