   We're *Way* overdue for a super volcanic eruption, as there hasn't   
   been one in the entirety of the Holocene.   
      
   Many are active right now, including Yellowstone. When that explodes,   
   and it will (it's a "When?" and not an "If?") we're speaking of the   
   energy equivalent to 100,000 nuclear weapons, and that's a conservative   
   estimate. When Toba exploded over 70,000 years ago it was roughly 2.5x   
   larger.   
      
   Toba is also active right now.   
      
   The massive Krakatoa eruption in the late 1800s was roughly 1/50th   
   Yellowstone, btw.   
      
   What I'm saying is that you are a textbook example of scale. You're   
   looking at today, when "Climate" and what is normal needs thousands   
   if not tens of thousands of years to determine what is "Normal."   
      
   Human will die in the cold. A super volcano (caldera) will explode   
   and this will touch off a glacial period -- what you think of as an   
   "Ice Age." If all goes well, the northern hemisphere will be fully   
   recovered in 1000 to 1400 years.
