We're calling it a pause," said Willie Scott, a volcanologist at the USGS Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, Wash. "We really don't know if it's going to start up again.
"It's made liars out of all of us," USGS seismologist Seth Moran said. "Nobody expected it to go on this long."
"We're seeing what you might expect to see if you have a bunch of hot stuff cooling down," Moran said. "But it's too early to say it's done."

For several million years, a period 100 times greater than the entire known history of Homo Sapiens, the planet's destroyed ecosystems underwent a slow, laborious recovery. The earliest colonizers after the catastrophe were populous species that quickly adapted to degraded environments, the ancient analogues of rats, cockroaches and weeds. But many of the original species that occupied these ecosystems were gone and did not come back. They'll never come back. The extinction of a species, whether in an incinerated 65-million-year-old reef or in a bleached modern-day reef of the Caribbean, is forever.
Still, the primary concern here is the future welfare of us and our children. Assuming that we survive the current mass extinction event, won't we do OK? The disappearance of more than a few...
