Load our survival stuff into our RV and drive SE or maybe S and SW.

The Yellowstone Caldera is probably getting close to its breakout point, geologically. As the earth is slowly cooling and contracting, the weak points of the crust are subject to greater and greater hydraulic pressure. The huge slag plug in the lower parts of this caldera is going to be thrust upward, with an immense degree of force, and all expectations now being assessed against “climate change” will be exceeded by a number of orders of magnitude.

Now, geological time is not measured with a stopwatch, and there is a variability in measuring this interval that may change by thousands of years either way. Something might happen fairly soon, or it might not.

Human beings build structures on KNOWN earthquake zones. After all, the time frame for most of humanity is in terms of 30 years, more or less. Total extinction is not a probable outcome.

Stuff the fissures with Al Gore and the other AGW nuts. If it blows global warming won't be an issue for a thousand years. Climate change? You bet.
