Well, I’m not really sure Pyroclastic Ash and Debris would hit the 270 electoral college votes needed to win the election, since most of the states outside of its campaign range would likely not vote for it. This would push the vote for president to the House, where Pyroclastic Ash and Debris has no members of their party to vote for them, resulting in a Trump victory, with the Senate picking the VP, where I’d assume they’d agree on Pyroclastic Ash and Debris’ running mate.
I am frighteningly okay with this?
Pyroclastic Ash and Debris make a lot of good points, although I’m not sure about their position on climate change.
I think I read something once that the ash cloid would create a nuclear winter that lasted at least two years. Sticking to those 1.5C goals!
Personally, I’ve been on team Hypercane ever since the Portland heat dome made it theoretically possible.
Jesus H christ. 800kmh winds that last for weeks. Nothing to do but just die I guess.
A dust cloud could potentially bring temperatures down for quite a while. Which would be a new problem.
Well, and all the explody, burny part of volcanos, that on top.
It would be refreshing to have new problems to solve.
That’s the spirit!

As the Senate is basically tied and VP Harris has to cast the deciding vote, this means that ultimately Harris would choose the next VP?
Different problems superceding entrenched ones can feel like relief.
Sadly it’s unlikely to go off anytime soon; people who study this sort of thing say the magma reservoir is not filling.
