How ‘bout, “How Would a Yellowstone Eruption Affect the Climate?”
I was in Yellowstone the end of June. There was still 4+ inches of snow on the ground in the mountain passes on the south end of the park and we had snow flurries two nights.

They have to be members of a bizarre nature cult or something.
Well climate changes, I've no doubt of that. Human causation is a different issue. The author is correct that the busy season at Yellowstone is summer. If warming increases the length of Yellowstone's summer economic season, it would seem to me that would stimulate economic activity, not damage it, but what do I know. Leslie should remember that our future is based on a three letter word, J-O-B-S
I went to Yellowstone at end of last summer.
Does Old Faithful ring a bell?
These hot springs are groundwater fed I believe.
The beautiful cyanobacteria can thrive in hot water.
NASA is interested in studying them as analogue to the extreme environment
of other planets.
So that won’t change. These people are just idiots!!
They don’t know what they are talking about.
How an Asteroid Strike Could Hurt Yellowstone National Park.
The Absarokee Beartooth Mountains had 350% snowpack last year, causing the Yellowstone and its feeder rivers to flood this spring. Since we are moving to Montana in 2013, I expect the winters to continue to be colder. It’s just my luck.
Operative word: “Could”. All kinds of things “could” happen. This is the usual ecobull.
I hope so. One of the coldest spots in the country.
Some “scientists” need to ask, and ask themselves, what were the conditions in the Yellowstone area like when Greenland was green, when the “Norse” settled Greenland? Did it (life at Yellowstone) survive?
One PETA type person said to me " It could take 25 years for the wild animals to be able to return to this area".
Only two more years and the wildlife will be marching back in droves. [/s]
Wackcos love to use words like:
maybe, if, could, the chance, perhaps, might..........
“Taking the average of 16 computer models of climate future that were fed data from five different local weather stations”
Computers will tell you whatever you Want them to tell you, depending on whose agenda is programming the analysis.
And Who was paying these climate change analyzers?
“a nonprofit that advocates for carbon emission reductions”
GIGO=Garbage In equals Garbage Out.
These cut and paste ecoporn stories are usually printed when there is a climate conferences coming up.
“Before the end of the century, Yellowstone National Park could experience summers that feel like Los Angeles’s, according to a report released Tuesday”

Keyword:could. As in butterflies could spew from my arse or an asteroid could extinguish all life on Earth. I am sick of all the fear-mongering control freaks.
What a joke. The entire history of the earth is one of climate change and extinction. What did losing a species do to life on earth?
What effect has the extinction of the American Bison, the Dodo, Black Rhinos, the Baiji white dolphin, the Quagga, the Tasmanian Wolf or the saddle-backed giant tortoise or any of the hundreds of recently extinct animals had on humans or life on earth?
Nothing.
First, I live a hundred or so miles North of the park; Second, I’ve got BLM land around my place, so I’ve had direct and personal experiences to form the opinions I’ve got.
Compared to the damage that’s been done to Yellowstone Park and everything within a couple hundred miles of the place by the calculated and direct actions of the EPA, NPS, BLM and all of the so-called “environmentalists” and their activist buddies styling themselves as judges, the effect of warm summers that this current bunch of flatland phonies is predicting is a popcorn fart in a F5 tornado.
The only thing I can think of that would top the results of that bunch of slugs would be if the caldera did blow its top.
....and one of ‘em would probably put out a last-second tweet about how it was “really, truly proof of global warming”.....
I’d pretty much wish the whole bunch a real fast trip right straight to.....
