Reminding people in the heart of this article....”To be sure, the swarm has slowed down considerably this week, and larger swarms have been recorded ‘in the past’,.... according to Jacob Lowenstern, the scientists in charge of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory.

And Dick Cheney will emerge from this disaster. Unscathed.

Standing next to Keith Richards.

Women and minorities to be hurt the most and certainly the result of Trump dumping the Paris climate agreement. I doubt an eruption at Yellowstone would be given more than a text crawl on CNN and not interrupt the continuous spewing of Trump hate

The headline and first paragraph say “We’re all going to die ANY minute.”

The second paragraph says “Probably not.”

Actually, based on at least the dates of the last three eruptions (2.0 million years ago, 1.3 and .6), they're about due for another (at Yellowstone). The blue arrow indicates the direction of movement of the NA tectonic plate.

Here you can see the Snake River Plain hot spot trail. It traces the movement of the NA continent over the deep-seated stationary hot spot. Look dead center (left to right), and about 1/4 of the way down from the top.

We live about 35 miles east of Yellowstone Lake

If we see it start to rise we’ll be packing up and heading west ASAP.


If you live east of Yellowstone and head west, won’t you be heading right into it?

I just ook a USA map & a protractor & made a 600 mile radius circle around Yellowstone.

Inside that circle-—OR VERY CLOSE to it:

Denver-Colorado Springs-Las Vegas-Santa Fe (NM) -—Northern 1/3 of Arizona-—ALMOST ALL of Nevada including Reno & Carson City—80 % of Oregon—80% of Washington—ALL of Idaho—All of Montana— 3/4 of N Dakota —3/4 of S Dakota— 1/2 of Nebraska—NW corner of Kansas.

Think I am kidding? Do this exercise for yourself.......

According to Dr. Sheldon Cooper: “Geologist are not real scientist!” So they brought in a physicist.

Nah. The Democrats will vote for the No Eruption Bill, and it will make it's way through the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, where the SCOTUS will affirm the Bill on a 5-4 vote.

Problem solved.

That’s about how they think.

They’ll also want to impose a new tax on air pollution.
