Geologically speaking, do we live in dangerous times?

Question

I don't mean muderers or terrorists, or anything like that. I mean, we are in a time where tectonic movement is speeding up (extremely slowly, though), faults have greater tension building because they cannot release minor quakes, the Earth's magnetic field is due to reverse, we are due for a new iceage, more violent volcanic activity more often, greenhouse gasses being realesed not by just human activity, but by all living things (not helped by shortage of plants to provide oxygen and get rid of CO2).
And on top of all that, the Yellowstone Supervolcanoe [which erupted last almost exactly 7000 (or 70,000- I don't remember exact)] erupts every 7000 (or 70,000-I'm not sure which) years.
I'm not asking if humanity can survive it if it all happened at once- I'm asking how bad is the danger and will any life at all survive it the world unleashes it all at once.
I'm not saying that it will happen all at once-it probably will be spread out over the next 1500/3000 years. What will happen?

Answer 1

No more dangerous than the last 4.55 billion years.

EQs and volcanoes aren't "due". That's not how they work. Just because the poles have switched in the past doesn't mean it will again. Just because there's a super volcano under Yellowstone doesn't mean its going to go off just because its been a while since it has. Geologists use "the key to the present is the past" approach but it isn't the end all be all method.

That's the nature of the beast. The planet is in a lot of ways still unpredictable. The best we can do is develop better ways to predict things by continously studying them and not live in paranoia.

Answer 2

Really speaking now we are living in highly advanced scientific century. We made several inventions in this century only.You have to be proved to live in this century.
