Just returned from two weeks on the road through Yellowstone and Grand Teton Nation Parks. Loved every minute of it.

For its part, NASA is working on a way to prevent the supervolcano from destroying mankind, including trying to cool the magma before it spills over. View Quote LOL, I'm sure a new tax will stop it! |

Soon in geologic terms is just slightly different than soon in short modern attention span terms.

You might want to google what a volcanic winter is. Granted, Yellowstone could just burp, and only Jackson Hole gets taken out.... but if it completely lets loose?? Only the people inside the circle die in the first hour or two. The rest of the planet gets to slowly die over time. This could all happen tomorrow... or in 87,000 years from now. They have NO idea, even if they say they do. View Quote |

So, sell off 401K and proceed with a motor home, cases of oranges, massive amounts of cocaine, vodka, and two hookers? Head East?
Head East - Never Been Any Reason |

http://www.foxnews.com/science/2017/10/12/yellowstone-supervolcano-could-blow-faster-than-thought-destroy-all-mankind.html Yellowstone supervolcano could blow faster than thought, destroy all of mankind. According to National Geographic, the researchers, Hannah Shamloo and Christy Till, analyzed minerals in fossilized ash from the most recent eruption. What they discovered surprised them – the changes in temperature and composition only took a few decades, much faster than the centuries previously thought. “We expected that there might be processes happening over thousands of years preceding the eruption,” said Till said in an interview with the New York Times. The supervolcano last erupted about 630,000 years ago, according to National Geographic. Prior to that, it was 1.3 million years ago, per a report from ZME Science. If another eruption were to take place, the researchers found that the supervolcano would spare almost nothing in its wrath. It would shoot 2,500 times more material than Mount St. Helen did in 1980 and could cover most of the continguous U.S. in ash, possibly putting the planet into a volcanic winter. The new discovery, which was presented in August after a previous version of the study, comes after another study in 2011 which found the magma reservoir in Yellowstone has moved considerably, gaining about 10 inches in seven years. "It's an extraordinary uplift, because it covers such a large area and the rates are so high," the University of Utah's Bob Smith, an expert in Yellowstone volcanism, told National Geographic six years ago. Despite the concerns about an eruption happening relatively soon, Shamloo told The Times that more research needed to be done before a definite conclusion could be drawn. In June, the supervolcano was hit with more than 400 earthquakes in one week, though researchers cautioned it was nothing nothing to be alarmed about. For its part, NASA is working on a way to prevent the supervolcano from destroying mankind, including trying to cool the magma before it spills over. View Quote I think what we need is for congress to pass a law prohibiting the Yellowstone Caldera from erupting. That should solve the entire problem. |

Maybe the "FRACers" can save us. Setup a hydroelectric generator aways away, directional drill until you get to the hot part, use that for steam etc. PROFIT! That lets off pressure and saves the world! View Quote |

Get it over with already, this planet is fucked.
Do the universe a favor and destroy it. Please |

Zero we can do about it or any other natural cataclysmic event. Stay Zero

Kill all mankind, lol. No.
Previous eruptions didn't cause anything to go extinct. |

Google the mudvolcano in Malaysia...
Lapindo ...caused by dumb drillers, toxic and cost a whole village. I’m not wholly opposed to bioengineering (GMOs have brought more good than bad, increased crop yields prevent statistically significant numbers of people from starvation), but we better have some idea as to the 2nd order effects before we go lancing mother Earth like a boil... |
