The Chance of a Really Bad Volcanic Eruption Is One in Six

The ash fell over hundreds of kilometers sunames, and it caused sunames that reached as far as japan. Scientists now say that the chance of an eruption this century that is ten to a hundred times greater than tonga, is one in six. The impact of such a large scale eruption on the climate would actually be similar to the disastrous effects of a good sized asteroid or comet hitting the earth. We're spending hundreds of millions of dollars global, more than that world wide, every year for planetary defense. But there no similar coordination or investment that exists to mitigate eruptions even though they are thousands of times more likely. This type of volcanic eruption is much more likely than being hit by
