Coulda, woulda, shoulda

End-of-the-world speculation fills a few columns on a slow news day.

[surfer]

It’s AGW...if we all just stop breathing (producing CO2) it will solve everything.

In fact this administration might actually fund a way to force the eruption - ultimate late term abortion and end of life planning. They just need to convince all their detractors to move to the most affected areas!!! /sarc

[surfer]

I forgot to add...they will probably sell Yellowstone to a private firm beforehand and then blame capitalism for the explosion!!!

[DManA]

No one knows. There. that would have saved how many words of B.S.

[sodpoodle]

Article advises to read more - so I did;)

“But due the extreme conditions it has been hard to work out what exactly is going on down below, leading researchers unable to say with certainty what will happen - or when.

Since the most recent blast 640,000 years ago there have been around 30 smaller eruptions, the most recent of which was 70,000 years ago.”

Clearly its the ‘Tea Party's’ and rightwing radio's fault their rhetoric has inflamed the Yellowstone Volcano into a bitter rage!

>>Two-thirds of the U.S. could become uninhabitable as toxic air sweeps through it<<

Seems to me that two thirds is recorded somewhere else. Coincidence? I think not.

Depending on the version of the potential ash cloud map, I live either just outside the area of ash fall, or at worst on the far southwestern edge. So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.

[Nachoman]

I’m going to buy a buttload of fans and point them to the west.

bflr

[notdownwidems]

“grounding thousands of flights”, huh? lol

[steve86]

Two-thirds of the U.S. could become uninhabitable as toxic air sweeps through it, grounding thousands of flights and forcing millions to leave their homes.

The "grounding thousands of flights" seems like a rather insignificant part of the overall scenario. Oh man, have to rebook that flight lol

[Dick Bachert]

With input from Algore, the progressive Democrats in Congress are right now drafting legislation prohibiting any such actions by this unruly volcano. Heavy fines will follow any eruption.

[evets]

Jeez... not volcano aliens again!

[ApplegateRanch]

Outdated. The rise in the magma dome has stopped, and the earthquake swarms have slowed or ceased, occording to U Of Utah researchers, and Taiwanese researchers.

http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/yvo/ then click on New Research From Unversity of Utah.

Have to remember it takes ships a long time to transport news across the Atlantic, after taking almost as long for someone to carry the messages from Yellostone to the East Coast.

Someday, scientists, engineers, and tinkerers will find a way to transmit messages...maybe even moving picture with sound!...around the world almost instantaneously, but right now that is just a fantasiser’s dream.

Cue Mr. Buffett

Now I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

Chorus:
Let me say now I don’t know

Ground she’s movin’ under me
Tidal waves out on the sea
Sulphur smoke up in the sky
Pretty soon we learn to fly

Chorus:
Let me hear ya now I don’t know

Chorus:
Let me say now I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know where I’m a gonna go
When the volcano blow

— Spoken: “Mr Utley...”

‘Cause I just left the planet earth
Where I go I hope there’s rum
Not to worry mon soon come

Chorus:

Don’t want to land in Mexico (no no no)
Don’t want to land on no Three Mile Island
Don’t want to see my skin aglow (no no no)

Don’t want to land in Commanche Sky park
Or in Nashville, Tennessee (no no no)
Don’t want to land in no San Juan airport
Or the Yukon Territory (no no no)

Chorus:

Don’t worry. Obama will go “kick it’s ass”.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Someone told me the other day they saw that we have 500 years before this happens maybe they heard wrong?

What ever happened to the dead birds from the sky worldwide stories?
