We've had a number of volcano belches (El Chichon, Pinatubo, Krakatoa, Tambora) and none plunged us into an ice age.

Not recently, but Toba was a success, ice ages are "good for you" just as Global Warming : A mini ice age may have warmed human relationships.

Do not despair, Yellowstone is promising.

"Do not despair, Yellowstone is promising."

Except for the fact that it will probably kill 90+% of the population in North America... but I guess that would solve PO for a little while... or at least make it seem somewhat less of a problem...

and the ash cloud would cause major global cooling so you fix GW as well.
