    That graphic might be underestimating the damage. The last documentary I saw said a major global extinction was caused by the last one and areas similar to the ones here were scortched, not ash covered. But again, it was a while ago, and memory tends to make things bigger.

        I note this sentiment has a lot in common with Christian millennialist theology and anticipation of end-times.

        Well, that’s rather cruel and self a destructive. Millions die immediately and billions die of starvation, leaving only the wealthiest, least compassionate people alive.
