There is a chance you'll be hit by an asteroid too - sound abserd - yes. Same with 'slightest chance' claims.
It becomes misinformation when the data does not support the interpretation. "Slightest chance" doesn't factor in when scientists are reviewing all of the available data. History review to show my point -
in post 24 this thread you stated
You do know that swarm is still going? And it has been even more active in the last week. http://www.quake.utah.edu/helicorder/ymr_webi_1d.htm
Then your misinformation
I would be surprised if we don't see something that comes from this event in Yellowstone. At the very least I fully expect at least a gas release in Yellowstone sometime during this swarm.
I showed you a figure depicting the earthquakes in Yellowstone and immediate area for that past week - with only about a half dozen mag 1 quakes scattered around the area. When challenged about your ability to interpret the data on your link, you supplied a similar map with only a few quakes in Yellowstone - so one has to ask
1. Was the 'swarm' continuing? Answer: No, there was no current swarm, let alone the Jan 2010 activity. Result: You misinformed the reader as to the current earthquake activity.
2. You interpreted the data to claim that an off-gassing event "sometime during this swarm.". Since there was no swarm to begin with and even a quick check with USGS Volcano Hazards Program indicates no active 'swarm' or impending 'off-gassing', you've once again thrown misinformation out there.
Now do you want to follow valid scientific procedures and principles, or continue the chicken little routine and proclaim anything, no matter how remote the chance or lack of support.
sure, try to do that with the thread we were talking about
