This morning everyone who follows accounts unapproved by Homeland Security's truth-patrol woke up to news of a supervolcano on the Antarctic circle. That is: if they (like me) hadn't been following those blogs over the weekend.
This is an analysis of an earthquake-swarm back in 2020 at the Orca Seamount. This is in the Bransfield Strait close to King George Island of the South Shetlands. I do not know if the Orca has been studied for any other supervolcanic activity as has Toba, Crater Lake, or Yellowstone. Still, as they say - first time for everything.
As to why the Right has got itself involved, they're downplaying the Global Warming... as I do. Although honestly I don't care to play this game anymore. I'm more concerned with how bad it might get if this monster wakes up.
I suspect: not all that bad. The Antarctic Circle is sequestered from the rest of the planet by strong winds around a vortex. Some dust might escape north to shield, oh, Chubut Province in Argentina or maybe even Tasmania. Not really our problem up here tho'.
Perhaps if the snow-line is a bit further north, this would cause more precipitation around Antarctica and increase its ice-sheets. Sea levels set to ... lower, worldwide. Until a few years later when the Ross icebergs calve, and (suddenly?) raise them again. Although the new snow on Antarctica proper will likely stay there.
Good news for that ice gun, I guess.
