We always have earthquakes around here. It’s normal and it’s nothing to get too excited about.

WHEN this thing finally does erupt, it’s gong to obliterate the U.S. nearly coast-to-coast ...

Some cousin of this story runs every 6 months to a year or so.

When it finally blows, a lot of people will be ready to say, “Told ya so!”

Except, they’ll all be dead.

why don’t the warmers worry about this potential catastrophe instead of worrying about the temp rising a tenth of a degree in a hundred years..

Very simple answer... NO!

I’m not a scientist, or even interested in any way, shape or form about volcano’s. But I have read that this ‘super volcano’ only goes off every million years or so... So what are the chances this will happen anytime soon?

Slim to slimmer than none.

The end of the world is nigh...

That refrain has been on the lips of literally billions of humans over the past million years or so. And of course, the end is truly nigh for all of us. Nobody has lived forever, but for some reason many people are under this suspicion that they will be here when the final nigh has come. They won’t be.

Tell me a comet is heading towards us and then you can yell it to the top of your lungs. Until then, the human race is hanging in there and will be for some time to come. Small volcano’s, big ones, tidal waves... What the heck... Even nuclear war. Humans are the cockroaches of the animal kingdom and come hell or high water we will find a way to survive.

Been years since I was there, but from looking at the map it seemed the eruptions were becoming less frequent and severe.

Wishful thinking on my part? Vulcanism is complex, pressure below, weakness in the earth's crust, viscosity and temperature all come to bear. All of Yellowstone's eruptions were massive, but some were more so than others. The last one or two were less destructive, IIRC
