unfortuantely there does not seem to be a site that list all of the facts in one spot.
here is a good starting point
http://dsc.discovery.com/convergence/supervolcano/interactive/interactive.html the problem is that in order to see it, you have to take info from several areas of scince and most ppl are only willing to see their own areas as important and none of the facts from other areas as having anything to do with their own.
an example of this is the ppl you mentioned. "NASA, NOAA, and researchers at most major universities" are concerned with what is happening now. few of them bother with what has happen 600 thousand years ago, let alone what happen 2.1 million years ago.
heres another site to check out
http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/7x.html if you read it states that the earth is usually 8 to 15 degrees c above todays tempature, and only the last billion years have had the amount of glaceral activity as we have now. it also states that the warming trend has been going on for the last 14000 years with a short interuption about 10000 years ago (hmm, wasnt there an eruption of a western us super volcano about then).
a second much smaller interuption accured about 100 bc (interesting enough i found that there was a valcano that erupted then that is on the borderline between super and regular). had it not erupted the ice sheet would have disappeared within the 100 years.
oh, and while im at it, please explain why if he weather is not concerned about times hyberbole, why should we.
ill see if i can find more sites to add to this.
also, i did not intend to say that we are not responsible of an
increase in the speed of the warm up. i stated somewhere on the board that we are responsible for increasing the speed, but not the warm up itself.
