We all dead by volcano soon?

Last report I saw was that the fissure is still actively lengthening towards what ever the closest town is named. 2 miles before the towns folk are at the rim of hell.
Hopefully you will have some Old Crowe and Vienna Sausages ready for them.
Here is an interesting article on the scale of carbon we are dealing with.
Just two-tenths of 1% of Earth's total carbon—about 43,500 gigatonnes (Gt)—is above surface in the oceans, on land, and in the atmosphere. The rest is subsurface, including the crust, mantle and core—an estimated 1.85 billion Gt in all
Humans release approx 35 billion tons (35gt) per year
Normal volcano outgrowing of co2 (no major eruptions) = 0.3-0.4 gt per year
Meteor impact= 1,400 gt
Earth's deep carbon cycle through deep time reveals balanced, long-term stability of atmospheric CO2, punctuated by large disturbances, including immense, catastrophic releases of magma that occurred at least five times in the past 500 million years. During these events, huge volumes of carbon were outgassed, leading to a warmer atmosphere, acidified oceans. and mass extinctions
Similarly, a giant meteor impact 66 million years ago, the Chicxulub bolide strike on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, released between 425 and 1,400 Gt of CO2, rapidly warmed the planet and coincided with the mass (>75%) extinction of plants and animals—including the dinosaurs.
Scientists quantify global volcanic CO2 venting; estimate total carbon on Earth
Volcanoes, colliding and spreading continental and oceanic plates, and other phenomena re-studied with innovative high-tech tools, provide important fresh insights to Earth's innermost workings, scientists say.
Interestingly, it seems like the particulate makes a bigger impact on the weather/climate than co2 does. In areas where snow covered volcanic ash, these volcanoes had little to no impact on climate/weather (despite releasing co2 into the air). For example, Mt. St helens erupted for 9 hours and released less than an average days worth of co2, but it cooled Washington state by 7 degrees c. Due to particulate matter. This seems to be supporting evidence that co2 is not the primary cause of climate change.

Yes. We are f'd load up on whatever makes you happy when the time comes. @torbee needs to own up @Tenacious E and @Jimmy McGill . We shouldn't have to come to the Dirty QC as we didn't welch.
I follow the guy in the link below. He is often accused of being a climate change denier, but he's actually the first to say the climate changes. He's skeptical of CO2 being the main cause of climate change and believes the data shows CO2 levels as a slightly trailing indicator of global warming.Here is an interesting article on the scale of carbon we are dealing with.

We live in an era where people get labeled because of what they don't believe, not because of what they believe. Everything must be binary.
Don't believe CO2 emissions are the primary cause of global warming? Climate change denier.
Don't believe Biden is doing a great job? You must be a MAGA Trump supporter.
Don't believe mRNA COVID vaccines are effective? You are an anti-vaxxer.
When I first started posting here in around 2006, it took me awhile to get used to a few of the posters here, and how indoctrinated some of them are. When there would be a post about a public figure that should be 100% condemned by everyone, I would wonder how anyone could support it, but sure enough there would be a spin. And if there was no spin, there was dismissing the source. Gary Hart was taken down by the National Enquirer.
The length of the crack might eventually be as long as your mom’s.
The time for healthy skepticism on the subject ended about 15-20 years ago. Now it's just willful ignorance.
Have the people evacuated Grindavik or is there going to be another New Orleans episode of people choosing to stay despite being warned time and time again?
Update: it looks like the town is meeting its maker today. They evacuated everyone at 3AM.
Do electric airplanes need to be grounded like jets? What about old fashioned pop planes (not prop-jets)?
Oh great. We get to fight our own bad behavior AND Mother Nature's bad behavior.
Conservatives will no doubt use that as another excuse to do nothing, since some of the problem isn't caused by us.
The take-home message from that article is that we should all be wishing for more volcanoes as the sulfer dioxide released will cause global cooling. Problem solved! 😉
No. The takeaway is that volcanos are working on killing everybody.
Nuclear winter would be better. The volcano effect doesn't last long enough and it's harder to titrate.
Good news, if true. Or maybe it's just gathering itself before letting loose.
I was surprised because i expected Yellowstone to kill us all. Super volcanoes are a scarey deal
