Uh oh, Yellowstone Caldera Awakens

[Japher]

I find it funny how a lot of the nutcases out there moved to that area to avoid nuclear attacks, alien landings, floods, earthquakes, tornados, huricanes, terrorist attacks and government brainwashing only to now get threatened by a national park.

Seeing how there is life on earth right now, and no sign of mass extinctions either 0.65, 1.3, or 2.1 million years ago, the only people who gotta worry are those living in the midwest.

0.65
1.3
2.1

Looks like the volcano has a half life! Which means is should blow any day now.


We're all gonna die!!!

I hope they don't interupt "Friends"

The caldera looks to be ~50 km across, what a monster waiting to blow!!!

IIRC, Lassen in northern Cali was about the same size when it blew early last century.

How big is your freezer

well considering I could store food just outside my door and it would be colder than in my inside freezer, I'd have to say my freezer is pretty damn big, unless its summer time, well no even then its pretty damn big its all relative to how much digging I want to do....

I wonder what would happen to the fishes in the ocean....

If you really had an atmospheric dust event that lasted for several years (i.e. considerably bigger than Krakatoa or Mt. Pinatubo, but not on the collosal scale of the Chicxulub impact crater), the loss of infalling solar radiation would have it's largest impact on phytoplankton and work it's way up the food chain.

Crank up the global warming as preemption.

Snubbing his nose at anything pro-environment, premptive actions against perceived (or imagined) threats...

...huh...Bush Jr. has a 'Master Plan' after all...

Im going to make a fallout shelter, with a nuclear reactor and everything, I need money donations though so who wants to give me thier money? Dont worry I'll make sure theres enough space for everyone who donates, as long as they are atractive women.

I don't know what kind of catastrophic, diabolical plans you have, but YOU LEAVE IOWA ALONE!

It's all part of God's plan. Get 'em all together and WHAM! YEAH, BABY, YEAH!

They certainly would be nutcases if they moved up there to get away from quakes.

There's no reason to be alarmed yet. Wait untill Tom Ridge starts telling everyone not to worry and just go about their business...that's when I'll know it's time.

Is anyone preparing Bruce Willis for this? How do you plug up a caldera?

Willis: I'm going to need a whole sh!tload of cheese.

Funny thing, in Civ3, volcanoes cause pollution, which in turn cause global warming.
