I wonder if the debris this puts up into the atmosphere will help slow the effects of climate change

- noduerme 5y agoIt would... if it weren't underwater.
- Valmar 5y agoThat's a pretty awful hot take. Unless this is some terribly poor trolling, in which case I've taken your bait...
- tasha0663 5y agoVolcanic winter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_winter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volcanic_winter The Year Without Summer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer
- noduerme 5y agoEh, that's what I was thinking too (except it's underwater). One good belch like this from Yellowstone and we'd be back in an ice age.
- maxerickson 5y agoAren't we still sort of in an ice age, in relative geologic terms? Okay, yes we are, with the popular usage of ice age referring to the last period when glaciers were much more dominant. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation
- vba616 5y agoA definition of an ice age that I read somewhere is when there are permanent ice sheets at the poles.
- bb123 5y agoNot sure what a hot take is. It was a a genuine question - volcanic eruptions have well documented climatic effects.
- noduerme 5y agoIt's kind of a compliment. "Hot take" is becoming common parlance, but a hot take as defined by Blind Boy Boathouse would be a connection you notice between two seemingly unrelated things, and then dive into to arrive at a smashing observation about, where you link those things by obsessively researching the connections between them, to reveal a hot take on events that no one has quite heard of, or had the same take on before. Check out this, maybe the great hot take of all time. https://play.acast.com/s/blindboy/pooanon https://play.acast.com/s/blindboy/pooanon
- cyanydeez 5y agoits theorized massive amounts or co2 wouod be released from yellowstone. more realistically, this would just cool for a few years, make climate denial easier to believe, then signficantlymrebound in amcoupke of years

- colordrops 5y agoWhy do these sorts of comments always end in "bro"
- dylan604 5y agobecause of course they do. it's like punctuation for "them". imagine a line graph as you are reading that comment. it starts high, but then starts to fail off quickly as you get to the second word picks up speed of its drop as you carry on. then, just to clean up everything, bro just plumments the graph to nil leopard can't change its spots, dude /s
- ani-ani 5y agoThey don't. If only it was that easy.
- unethical_ban 5y agoIt's a way to feel superior and get under your skin, because it's more about that than convincing anyone.
- miedpo 5y agoProbably not. Way to small for that, and even the early large eruptions only affect the atmosphere noticably for a year or two (unless it's a really really really crazy large eruption that makes Tambora look like tiny)
- Fordec 5y agoThey won't slow it, but pause effects for a short while. The CO2 would still be there afterwards and all the while increasing, the oceans will still be acidifying, etc. The next years after would still be as bad as predicted
- colechristensen 5y agoPossibly, but only briefly, highly dependent on the composition. Previous large explosions had measurable cooling effects for a year or two.
