"If we are getting an ice age, Oregon will freeze too. If we are getting global warming [which I don't believe other than enough to avoid an ice age recurrence], Europe might not get much warmer if the Gulf Stream stops, but it won't get frozen over."

Actually there are no continental glacial terminal moraines om Oregon they did not get this far south during the ice ages. If there are any they probably were covered by the basalt flows, Interesting that the cascade range has both basaltic flow and granitic volcano eruptions from the same mountain range (Cascades). Now there was a source of CO2 gas, the basalt flows here covered many thousand square miles 100-300 or more feet deep in Basalt, Mt Mazama was a rather large eruption (granitic) as you have mentioned smaller than Taupo by about 60%.

I think this will be closer to a mini ice age, but in any case an investment opportunity for some industries I think.

Your insupportable and reckless comments are coming fast and furious now, like nonsense from a high-pressure firehouse.

If we are getting an ice age, Oregon will freeze too.

If you had even the most basic acquaintance with this topic, you would know that the ice sheet during the ice age did not extend much south of Vancouver on the North America west coast.

By contrast the end moraine of the east coast glacier formed Long Island, much further south than ice on the west coast.

This difference is due to the ocean currents created by the Earth's rotation.
