Indonesian Supervolcano Showing Signs of Possible Eruption

We could use another "Volcanic Winter", humanity needs a reset.

Might solve that whole 'global warming' issue too!

No it wouldn't. They could be shivering under a blanket of snow in the middle of July and busily telling us that this is only a temporary pause because of the volcano and that we will all burn up and die as soon as it clears off. Stop burning that dung on the fire! It's polluting!

You are correct of course.

I've been alive a few decades, and it seems that the last few years have been the most active for geologic activity - volcanoes and earthquakes.

The residents on Toba are alarmed because they are witnessing something they have not witnessed probably in their entire lifetime. Probably is something to take note of.

I have heard stories of UFO's diving directly into active volcanoes. If this is true, they seem to have some sort of interest in the interior of our Earth.

Fortunately for us, the earlier calderas formed 700,000 and 840,000 years ago (according to the Wikipedia article).

Unfortunate for us, "Since the major eruption ~70,000 years ago, eruptions of smaller magnitude have also occurred at Toba. The small cone of Pusukbukit formed on the southwestern margin of the caldera and lava domes. The most recent eruption may have been at Tandukbenua on the northwestern caldera edge, suggested by a lack of vegetation that could be due to an eruption within the last few hundred years."
