Just saw a show on the Yellowstone Super-Volcano. Trippy shit. Apparently one of the largest volcanos in the world is in the middle of Yellowstone Park, Wyoming, USA! Although the sites i looked at had different opinions on the potential of an eruption, most predicted it to erupt between now and 100,000 years from now(or not at all). Its kinda weird to think about anyways.

 

The super volcano at Yellowstone, and its kin around the world are a credible threat to man. Even the United States Geological Survey, usually conservative about such matters, admits that should a major eruption occur the results would have "global consequences that are beyond human experience and impossible to anticipate fully."

Another catastrophic eruption is also possible. The effects of such a disaster are hard to even comprehend. Bill McGuire, professor of geohazards at the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at the University College of London told the UK Daily Express, "Magma would be flung 50 kilometers into the atmosphere. Within a thousand kilometers virtually all life would be killed by falling ash, lava flows and the sheer explosive force of the eruption. One thousand cubic kilometers of lava would pour out of the volcano, enough to coat the whole USA with a layer 5 inches thick." He adds that it would once again bring "the bitter cold of Volcanic Winter to Planet Earth. Mankind may become extinct."

 

Yeah, flame on if you must, but i just thought i'd share because its interesting as fuck.

you forgot the volcanic winter/ iceage.

Well it needs to hurry up and end already. I'm tired of hearing it all. =)

speaking of the end of the world... isn't that meteorite supposed to come in the near future? the one that's large enough to destroy the earth? (OMFG DEEP IMPACT WITH ELIJAH WOOD?!111)

oh yeah that old fuck telling us meteors are gonna hit, he said leik June 22-25 or something

its an interesting article, but its based on paranoia, yeah its possible but how possible, the odds of it happening are the same as a worldwide flood. It is possbile but not really plausible. Like getting struck by lighting, it can happen but probably will not. It is interesting though.
hey too bad that volcano would only wipe out western usa, so cya fags in california

between now and 100,000 years, or never... man, what good investigative skills they must have!

This all sounds like some scheme by Fox or FX to create a "made for tv" movie which will be like Day After Tomorrow, only much worse (and yes it's possible to make a shittier movie than Day After Tomorrow). Fucking greedy bastards.
