Global Warming: How dire is the situation, or how much is it overhyped?

At this point there isn't really much we can do about it. The only way to reverse these trends instantaneously is if one of the supervolcano's would have a massive eruption but that would cause another set of massive problems.

Actually Mt Fuji is predicted to bloe somewhere before 2015. 

The last earthquake in the area has incread the pressure to a point well beyong last time it blew 300 years ago. So that will be a concerning event.

 

AS FOR OP:

Global Warming is a buzz word that was around in the early 200s. It is now called climate change as weather has been more unstable and not just hot in some areas. 

Also to add I think some of the states in Australia (perhaps Tasmania only) had its highest temp on record ever. Some of the other states highest temp was around the 1930s-1970s

Is Mt Fuji considered a super volcano?  I know the yellowstone park region contains several that are due to erupt in the near future.
