I think a super volcano is a definite possibility. Yellowstone is overdue for a big blow out. It would block out the sun for a year or so. It would wipe out most of the worlds wildlife and most of the human population.
I often wonder why people don't think about the role oil plays in earths stability. I would think this massive reservoir of oil acts as a coolant for geo thermal magma and lubricator of techtonic plates. Are increased earthquakes and volcanos being nudged by our harvesting of this resource.
I believe we can replace our need for oil but can we replace billions of barrels of liquid that could have a real and significant effect on the way the earth keeps in balance?
