Don’t worry. The Supervolcano can always pay for Carbon Tax Credits.

It’s just an Inconvenient Supervolcano.

Has anyone thought about drilling into it to relieve some of the pressure?

I’m no scientist.....

What nonsense!

Neanderthals are all over western Europe.

“Xenu, also called Xemu, was, according to Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, the dictator of the “Galactic Confederacy” who 75 million years ago brought billions of his people to Earth (then known as “Teegeeack”) in DC-8-like spacecraft, stacked them around volcanoes, and killed them with hydrogen bombs.”

Maybe just bomb it. Not a scientist either. A small bomb. Not too big.

Like drilling into a shaken can of soda. What could go wrong?

Sounds like a whole new round of scary Discovery Channel shows coming up.

"Has anyone thought about drilling into it to relieve some of the pressure?"

I'm not a geologist, but I can imagine immense problems with that given the scope of what they're talking about. Once you take the cork out of this bottle, there's no way to put it back in and you'd better know exactly what the bottle's contents will do.

A huge eruption like that would drastically change the weather over the whole continent. Google “the year without a summer”.

Yep an asteroid will plug it )LOL.

Remember someone wanted to name an asteroid after Trayvon Martin; I wonder whatever happened to that plan.
