Imagine the global nightmare of a volcanic eruption 1,000 times greater than Mt. Helens turning the North American continent into an endless winter. Yes, eternal cold and snow are what global warming is all about…just ask the “Experts.” The ginormous volcano eruption would cover a thousand square miles around Yellowstone National Park with a foot-deep layer of molten ash. A haze would drop over the United States, causing temperatures to plummet.
Those cheerful experts from the local university or the U.S. Geological Survey, who always remain anonymous, are again attempting to justify their continued existence in the media by issuing their tired tirade of Eternal Nuclear Winter via the eruption of the supervolcano lurking under Yellowstone National Park.

Nathan Deplue thoughts?
You realize half of the seismic sensors around Yellowstone are private owned right?
Fluctuations in Yellowstone are very common. It’s not a surefire sign of an upcoming eruption. It only takes a few centimeters of movement to crack asphalt.
Let her rip!
The immediate ones are the lucky ones.
It pops about every 400,000 years and it’s been 630,000. It’s way past due. You don’t need a report.
Pops on average every 400,000 and it’s been 630,000 since the last one. Our time is borrowed.
Trace Owen I never said the cracks pertained to an eruption they actually resulted in a small earthquake the occurred Tuesday morning. Hence the cracks let us get down beneath and that’s when we concluded unstable pressure about 80 feet below.
Well we might get lucky and have a few thousand more years
What’s funny is that while the author of this article is clearly condescending, I have to wonder if he holds any degree what so ever in thermo-geology or volcanology. Yes, every reputable expert agrees that Yellowstone is a super volcano. Yes, they all agree it WILL erupt again. No, they don’t know when, but its something that SHOULD be prepared for and we’re not. THAT’S what all the concern is about. Yellowstone IS a timebomb. WHEN, not IF, it goes off, there will be extreme repercussions throughout the United States, and because of our role and position in world issues, throughout the rest of the world as well. Let me put it this way… New Orleans KNEW that a massive hurricane was possible but severely unlikely because of their geological position along the gulf. They knew it was only a matter of time till it happened. Then Katrina came through… Being prepared doesn’t make you a “doomsdayer”… It makes you smarter than the other idiots who say “it can’t happen”…
