The Next Mega Volcanic Eruption and Climate

[Nomad V]

I'm not a climatologist, but I do pay attention to the journals regarding climate that are out there. One thing that has been conspicuosly missing in the climate debate is the anticipated affect of a major/mega volcanic eruption.
Climatic models of super volcanoes predict global climatic disaster, and that would be easy to understand.
However, I was wondering about a blast with the magnituded (or so) of Krakatoa. One could only assume that there would be at least a temporary and potentially significant drop in global temperatures. Although this could not be expected to significantly impact the global atmospheric composition, ie. the green house gases would still be there and may be expected to increase during such an event.
So, has anyone read about such a potential occurance? Has anyone thought along those lines and has anyond developed ideas or opinions along those lines?

Nomad V,

If such an eruption occurred it would probably have disastrous effects of life on earth

What is there to debate? You know what such an event would do, but you can't tell if one will even happen within our life time.

If you take the time to go to the NOAA site you will see that there is still a lot of funding out there to study the medium level affects. As I said orignally was that this does not concern the so called supervolcano. Specifically, what I was wondering, as is NOAA, does a large scale eruption of a normal volcano lead to a so called "Mini Ice Age". That last happened only 300 years ago or so. Now, can it happen again with the current level of green house gasesin the atmosphere? I think that the jury is still out on that.
