Oh, that "volcanic winter" produced by Pinatubo was a barely
surviveable event. Good heavens, all of mankind almost went
extinct on that one because the earth's atmosphere cooled by
0.1 deg C!

Yep, that crater 65 million years ago sure messed things up
alright. I bet we're due another one in about 10 or 20
million more years!

I'm sure that I'm going to worry about the weather when a
nuke is falling on my head!
Why don't you get real here, and stay within the realm of
possibility over the time frame of one or two human
lifetimes? Nobody gives a damn about something that is
going to happen over geologic time frames!
