Yellowstone super volcano 'could erupt in 2016' and wipe out the Earth

A book written by a revered Italian geologist Mario Tozzi explains what could happen if it exploded this year.

Tozzi's Pianeta Terra Ultimo Atto – which translates to Planet Earth, The Last Act – suggests the volcanic caldera may awaken in 2016 and have disastrous consequences for the rest of the globe.

The author's book – set in 2019 – covers a scenario after the super volcano erupts between now and the end of the year.

Tozzi envisages the volcano exploding and covering the United States – and potentially leading to catastrophic disaster around the world.

Bernie Sanders will save us by taxing the rich more and saving the earth from global warming

There are some American institutions that obama cannot destroy. For everything else there’s Yellowstone.

It predicts a temperature change in the years following, leading to a reduction of polar ice caps and a rise in sea level – submerging Venice, New York and London.

Pardon me but is the Yellowstone caldera filled with a different substance then any other caldera? Because every single other major volcano eruption has resulted in global COOLING and even mini ice ages.

I am not a vulcanologist but I do read history.

So Mario Tozzi can go peddle this crock somewhere else.

Massive eruptions in the past have resulted in cooling due to pollution in the atmosphere.

Where’s that GIF of the little guy running back and forth yelling “OMG!” over and over again?

OK.
It's either headed for California or Canada.
I'll wait.

No need to worry about the supreme court vacancy.

As long as we’re talking “could happen” BS, man made global warming could become so drastic that the eruption’s lava wouldn’t really feel that hot, but thanks to the rising sea levels that could have happened not happening because of the thirsty continents that could absorb all the moisture that could have but hasn’t made it to the sea...I forgot what I was saying...oh, yeah, so much water in the ground put out the fire that melted the lava.

It could happen.

[Jack Hammer]

Wouldn’t THAT be exciting!

[BunnySlippers]

Ha

[Political Junkie Too]

...and I feel fine.

Lol! The North American tectonic plate is basically moving towards the south and west. Therefore the "hot spot", currently at Yellowstone, is moving towards the north and east, in the opposite direction.
