See if you really cared about saving "da earf", and really want to address "climate change", then you've got to go old school.
And I mean REALLY old school.
See, the sun, planetary weather patterns, AND seismology are ALL controlled by throwing stupid fucking idiots into active volcanos. And the problem is that we just haven't been doing enough of it.
(About 11,500 years ago humans started throwing their idiots into active volcanos and finally brought the Younger Dryas period to an end. Haven't had any global level natural catastrophies since, have we? So there. Science!)
You know, it would be pretty cool to see Yellowstone blow in my life time. Talk about shit we ain’t even worried about. Do y’all stop and think about how many asteroid impacts the earth has on it. I mean there’s craters everywhere. We finally have some kind technology we could atleast try to unite as a planet and maybe defend against those rocks of death and instead we’re like nah, how about we bomb the fuck out of each other instead. Funny
It hasnt erupted in over half a million years. Even if it was overdue, the likelihood of something that only erupts every million years, (+/- a half million years) in any particular 100 years span is pretty low.
Same with asteroids. Really big impacts are rare . The Earth is very old obviously, @Greensaint
There are other supervolcanos, two for instance in my geographic area, Tambora and Taupo. If either of those decided to erupt life would become pretty shitty down under.
Earth's magnetic field is weakening and the magnetic poles are moving. This planet is 4.5 billion years old - there is no reason to think we are totally safe from a natural catastrophe, unlikely though it appears.
Well, the volcanic record shows that the Earth's magnetic poles reverse about every 380,000 years. It been about 780,000 years since the last one, so we are waaay overdue. So. That should be exciting. Enjoy.
