Important Update: Super Volcano Caldera Mega Eruption will NEVER be ELE event

Volcano doom never brings the doom anyways, always hype, never the doom.

You don't think that a supervolcano could affect the world's weather? Research volcano winter.

this is the issue.....
genralization

yellowstone isnt every 'super volcano'

lake taupo, did effect the worlds climate, for more than a decade!!!
infact its highly likely it contibuted to the last glacial age.
this is because taupo erupted to a volume 8

this only shows the massive gulf between grades

yellowstones biggest, a v:7, ejected EIGHT TIMES less material than Taupo.

infact....Taupos smallest eruption is around equal to yellowstones biggest!!

the whole world should fear Taupo
yellowteats would just devour babylon (usa)

yellowstone will never produce a V:8
so it will never change the worlds climate

yellowstone isnt all the worlds calderas
its just one, in bloody america!!

Don't even need any research, just remember the Summer of 1992...

Pinatubo in the Phillipines erupted in 10/91 and affected the world's weather for a good 2 years.

That whole summer, I think the temps beat 70 only a handful of times, and if there were any nice sunny days, I certainly don't recall them. A whole lot of cold and wet, though. It was miserable, and I spent that whole season sick as a dog.

great post.....

case closed!!

Lake Tobas Caldera has around 25km more in volume, than yellowstones caldera

WRONG on this one YS has had 3 VEI 8 eruptions

Huckleberry Ridge eruption Yellowstone Hotspot USA, Idaho / Wyoming Huckleberry Ridge Tuff 2,100,000 ya 2,500 km^3 (volume)

Heise Volcanic Field Yellowstone Hotspot USA, Idaho Kilgore Tuff 4,500,000 ya 1,800 km^3 (volume)
Heise Volcanic Field Yellowstone Hotspot USA, Idaho Blacktail Tuff 6,000,000 ya 1,500 km^3 (volume)

Taupo
Lake Taupo Taupo Volcanic Zone New Zealand, North Island Oruanui eruption 26,500 ya 1,170 km^3 (volume)

I think you need to get your facts straight

I would not close it yet.

I think the point is just a few years ago they were saying the Toba eruption killed 98% of all humans on the planet 75,000 years ago.

Now they are saying it may not be the case, but evidence of the eruption can be found around the globe. It says more study is needed.

The Toba eruption was the last super volcano that went off. You can bet there would be a major world impact if that happened today.

So half right on the "super volcanoes" being over hyped.
But maybe not quite the walk in the park you think.

lol
what a clown!
your totaling ejected material for two seperate, eruption events, over 6,000 years apart.....and claiming them to be ejected dureing the same eruption.
this would more than double the toba eruption.
the huckelberry ridge intial eruption is the FOURTH biggest ever!!

And the fun part, Taupo's eruption was well mixed. There was almost no zonation in the eruptive products. That means that the blob of magma rising from the 125 magma genesis depth of the subducting slab mobilized pretty much all of the fractionated mush at one time. The larger and older Whakamaru caldera, of which Taupo could be considered a child of, showed a lot of zonation and was not well mixed. It's roof collapsed in block fashion.

The North Island of New Zealand has multiple old calderas ranging from Taupo to Rotorua, all still sitting above that 125 km contour magma genisis line. And get this, Hokkaido in Japan is just about as prolific with old caldera structures.

yup i agree.....
yellowstone wouldnt erupt like toba cloud today tho

but spot on bro!

the way Taupo erupted is amazing....
just awe worthy!

only mighty ruaphu was tall and mighty enough to avoid the 5,000 foot high pyroclastic cloud!!

thats real doom!!!

Well, as soon as the Indo-Australian Plate breaks apart, New Zealand will most likely be sunk. Guess you don't have much to look forward to either.

The eruption of Mount Tambora in the early 1800s caused the 'Year Without A Summer' and widespread crop failure and starvation. A big Yellowstone eruption (or any large VEI7+ eruption) would do far far worse to food supplies around the world than the Tambora eruption did.

Also, the effects of volcanic eruptions are cumulative in their effect. A bunch of smaller volcanic eruptions going off constantly - which is happening now - can surpass any SINGLE eruption. In fact, widespread volcanic activity is the precursor to mass extinction events, as the volcanic activity warms the oceans, causing oceanic anoxia (happening now), which results in large methane clathrate releases and hydrogen sulfide poisoning the atmosphere and destroying the ozone layer (also happening now). The atmospheric contamination by hydrogen sulfide and methane will wipe the human race off the surface of the planet, along with most other life. See 'the Great Dying' for more info, the Permian-Triassic extinction event.

Finally, the US government is acquiring large numbers of buses for the possibility of a large-scale evacuation of the general population via motor coaches:

Whether those buses are intended to evacuate people because of a major volcanic eruption, or to evacuate people from coasts as the hydrogen sulfide and methane start wiping out coastal areas with poisoning and fires and explosions, I do not know. Actually, the buses may be needed for both scenarios.

A supervolcano is any volcano capable of producing a volcanic eruption with an ejecta volume greater than 1,000 cubic km.

A caldera is the collapsed remains of a supervolcanic eruption, i.e., the hole left in the ground.

Others have already refuted your other nonsense.

Question. What is the status of the top ten volcanoes right now?
Answer. 15 out of 18 VEI 7-8 Volcanoes show activity in the Months of March and April 2014.
For America. 3 Calderas are awaking all at the same time.
And all the rest as well minus 3 that are so ancient they shouldn't be on the list.
Long Valley Caldera active yesterday.
So what are the chances of three local calderas awakening?
At the same time!!
