“Nasa believes drilling up to six miles (10km) down into the supervolcano beneath Yellowstone National Park to pump in water at high pressure could cool it.”


is anyone besides me bothered by this idea? The magma chamber is under pressure and bulging upwards....giving a way for magma to escape the pressure and reach the surface is not that good an idea.

whats really wrong with waiting a few thousand years and letting future scientists poke the bear?

By all means. Lets add even more pressure with steam!

I don’t know which would be worse.

1. “scientists” really are so stupid as to believe that this idiocy would work.

2. “journalists” made up the claim, in which case, “scientists” are liable to read it and say “hey! that would probably work!”

Apparently you're the only one that thinks this is a bad idea . 👹🌋💧. Simple physics? Meh, WE are NASA! Mother Nature say "Hold my beer!"
