It's still gonna happen. and I'm glad you brought up the volcanic eruptions that coincide with the solar minimum...which seem to be popping all over the place these days. Yellowstone's caldera has been in the news recently with all it's moving and shaking lately too. Some scientist tell us not to worry about it. Others are saying get ready to kiss our asses good bye. Can you imagine what havoc that would cause the planet?
Anyway, yes! The polar vortex is bad news for some and good times for others it seems. ride on!

Theres zero we can do about Yellowstone. It sits at the top of a mantle plume. Basically, we could sap the heat out of the magma in there now but it'd cost billions. Plus the plume would migrate under the continental mass to a new location on the surface eventually. The planet is cooling inside, so it may never erupt again.
Ride on, indeed. I think we can muscle human climate change into reverse, but it'll take resources & mean the end of many luxuries, including alcoholic beverages, factory bakeries & other emissive processes in industry. We can live carbon neutral. It's possible today, now, as I type this. Just need will power.
In any case, just check the forecast & dress/prep accordingly and try to stay warm!
