#3 yeah. And while this is probably not going to be anything as large as the ancient Toba eruption nearby - which changed the climate, plant/animal populations and even the course of human evolution 70,000 years ago -- it's still worth watching as one sign of the instability around the ring of fire lately.

Mount Toba's eruption is marked by a 6 year period during which the largest amount of volcanic sulphur was deposited in the past 110,000 years. This dramatic event was followed by 1000 years of the lowest ice core oxygen isotope ratios of the last glacial period. In other words, for 1000 years immediately following the eruption, the earth witnessed temperatures colder than during the Last Glacial Maximum at 18-21,000 years ago.

Ice core evidence implicates Mount Toba as the cause of coldest millennium of the late Pleistocene. It shows that this eruption injected more sulphur that remained in the atmosphere fo a longer time [six years] than any other volcanic eruption in the last 110,000 years. This may have caused nearly complete deforestation of southeast Asia, and at the same time to have lowered sea surface temperatures by 3 to 3.5 degrees centigrade for several years.

If Tambora caused the " The year without a summer" in 1816, Mount Toba could have been responsible for six years of relentless volcanic winter, thus causing a massive deforestation, a disastrous famine for all living creatures, and a near extinction of Humankind.

I like the South Park version: Toyota Pious. Of course that doesn't help with the pluralization problem ...

This is great, at last a means to stop all the "Global Warming" idiots in their tracks.

I dream of the day when to say "Global Warming" equals the closest telephone pole and an immediate necktie party as you have just uttered damning proof positive that you're too stupid to be allowed to breed.
