Yellowstone supervolcano could blow faster than thought, destroy all of mankind

Arizona State University researchers have analyzed minerals around the supervolcano at Yellowstone National Park and have come to a startling conclusion. It could blow much faster than previously expected, potentially wiping out life as we know it.

It will be Trump’s fault when it happens.

>>I’m guessing that the human race would survive. But it would be a fraction of the number that it is now. The supervolcano would wipe out a majority of the cropland of the U.S. right away, and the following climate change would wipe out most of the rest of the world’s soon after, and for many years to come.

The actual scientific predictions show less than an inch of ash east of the Mississippi River. It will be a rough couple of years as land is repurposed or the ash is plowed in, but the human race will survive.

Most of the worst predictions use the same assumptions that climate change Warmistas use: that 1 foot = 1 inch = 1 mm = 1 cm.

I guess we don’t need to worry about GW anymore since the world is going to be destroyed by a volcano anyway.

The only sure remedy is to sacrifice all transgenders to the volcano God by casting them into the crater.

OR ... all these ‘people’ who think abortion is such a ‘great’ way to go can volunteer to do what their parents didn’t by making themselves available to appease the ‘volcano God/Gods’

http://www.goes-r.gov/users/comet/volcanic_ash/impacts/print.htm

The Tambora Volcano back in 1815 (the year without summer - well, 1916) had 12 cubic miles of ash. The largest event at Yellowstone was 525 cubic miles of ash. WOW!

In one article describing it the writer was saying how WHEN Yellowstone erupts, lots of people from the US will be lined up at the Mexican border. (They can ALWAYS find a way to plug there Liberal crap - can’t they!?)

I’m not sure how certain it is that it WILL erupt. I would guess it would, but I’m not sure it is like active fault zones that we know will slip again some day.

The ashfalls from the previous three eruptions only crossed the Mississippi once and then got as far as Mississippi and Ohio.

6 Long ago the earth was covered with water and it was destroyed. 7 But the heaven we see now and the earth we live on now have been kept by His word. They will be kept until they are to be destroyed by fire. They will be kept until the day men stand before God and sinners will be destroyed. -II Peter 3:6-7.

Yeah. How much is ‘stopping the volcano’ going to cost us?

“NASA is working on a way to prevent the supervolcano from destroying mankind, including trying to cool the magma before it spills over.”

Don’t the Indians have a dance for this or something?

They had dances for rain, war, why not one to appease a volcano?

I don’t suppose they considered that whatever they have in mind, it might just contribute to global warming. I’m wondering if those NASA folks understand enthalpy. It would be really alarming if they didn’t given stuff like rocket engine theory and all.

Do it yourself. While you’re at it look up “joke”.

If they consider pumping water in to lower the temperature, I wonder if they realize the pressure steam creates???

A few weeks ago there was an article that NASA (or some agency) was looking at ways to cool it down by drilling holes and maybe pumping /venting to defuse it -— maybe that’s why there’s an accelerated timeline of expectation.....
