A slowly increasing amount, though it depends entirely on your definition of "control" and "environment". If another flood-basalt eruption occurs, you may as well set up your deck-chair and enjoy the show.

Who are "we"? I spend most of mine on tea, food, travel, books and video-games.

What show?

No.

Deccan Traps...whoo hoo. Yellowstone caldera, blimey. Excepting the Deccan Traps episode probably ain't going to happen again, and the Yellowstone caldera will blow eventually.

They can also happen completely randomly, at just about any fault-line. The real point isn't to be frightened, but just accept our lot and carry on. There's no use in crying over our forthcoming demise, or however the saying goes.
