---------------------------- well . i never said anything about 'tambora' , i don't think i did . Point is the disruption of the growing season by a big eruption and a year without a summer or year without a growing season like supposedly happened in 1815 - 16 OldRocks .Yellowstone, or any caldera volcano, would disrupt the growing season far more than Tambora did.and , i'd be more concerned with another year without a summer and no growing season like 1815 - 16 . Yellowstone goes off and MANY people will die but disruption of the growing season and many more people will starve and die worldwide especially nowadays , imo .
