So if Toba does decide to blow her top , what would the tell tell signs be? How much warning can scientists/geologists give to alet the world that Toba will explode And what can the world expect to happen when it does explode. I know it will be very bad, i have watched the Supervolcano programme re Yellowstone, but just how bad will Toba be? Are we looking at a nuclear winter scenerio lasting months or years?

Experts disagree, but the general feeling is that increased volcanic, and geological activity will increase dramatically. Not unlike what is going on now which is why people are getting concerned.
