I remember the St. Helens eruption. 50 miles away everything was covered in a light layer of ash, and if you tried to wash it off your car you just scratched up the paint job. Insurance wouldn't cover it.
Here is a hint: It would be bad. And it would be Trump’s fault. Ha Ha.
A big Carrington event would be nearly as destructive to humanity and is much more immediately likely. An asteroid strike would be next on the list. Both can be mitigated with current technology by degree. The Yellowstone caldera cannot.
It would get dark.
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, I feel my temperature risin’, mm
Help me, I’m flamin’, I must be a 109, mmm
Burnin’, burnin’, burnin’ and nothing can cool me, yeah
I just might turn into smoke, but I feel fine
Only cockroaches and Adam Schiff would survive. But I repeat myself.
The ash would be loaded with silica in micron sized particles. Air filters don’t grab enough of it to save engines...or lungs. It would be like dumping fine sand down your intake manifold the grant will also chew up gas turbine compressors and coat the burners and turbines with molten silica. Everywhere under that ash cloud will be immobile and also getting pulmonary fibrosis. P100 filters would save your lungs but will clog so fast as to of little use other than maybe trying to flee the ashfall area, on foot because vehicle engines will be chewed up in short order. Yellowstone kills North America as a viable place to live for decades until rains wash all the ash out of the air, fields and waterways.
Dr McGraw told MailOnline: ‘The relatively modest cooling that followed the largest eruption in tree ring temperature reconstructions, the Mt Samalas eruption in 1257 AD, suggests that even larger eruptions like Yellowstone may be unlikely to cause strong cooling.’
Dr McGraw adds that ‘theories of extreme global impacts have already been largely debunked.’
Climate change on a huge scale.
>> artificial intelligence (AI) reveals exactly...
ROFL. Sure it does.
I am not worried about these events happening. The good Lord is in charge, Earthly events all fall under his command, and those allowed to occur all have good reasons, unknown to us.
For those fearful, Try Jesus, if you don’t like him, Satan will always take you back.
There would be no need for the Daily Mail. No need for Google's ImageFX AI image generator, and maybe, if the world was lucky, someone would take ACTUAL photos of it, rather than dream up more worst-case scenarios. MailOnline would be off line.
Thankfully we have William Hunter's astute fear-mongering. Though most recently this astute individual wrote about "Scientists reveal how to pick out the cleanest cubicle in ANY public toilet (and why it is different for men and women)."
A favorite from Hunter could be "The hermit crab forced to live in a toothpaste lid: Heartbreaking images show the devastating impact of Earth's pollution - as Donald Trump signs order to bring back plastic straws"
Yup. Trump's fault.
ping for later
Trees should not be standing vertical on such a new uplift.
I'm afraid mega-volcano catastrophe events are just going to have to wait their turn.
If someone wanted to, for any reason, cause the Yellowstone caldera to erupt sooner and non-spontaneously, is that within Man’s power to do? Sufficient kiloton destructive device(s) dropped or drilled and activated at fault lines or old weak spots in cooled lava flow? Just scientifically curious.
Also wondered if the Chinese themselves, or another actor decided to destroy the Three Gorges Dam there, how big a deal would that really be on the ground there, so to speak. Flooding downstream some certainly, but catastrophic?
We are all gonna die. 😟
They dug up another “expert” to give his opinion.
Yellowstone wont erupt in the next thousand years. There isnt enough eruptable magma in the chamber.
If an eruption did happen, it’ll be of hydrodynamic in nature. There has been numerous smaller events in history at that system.
The deadliest event in the last 250 years wasnt Tanbora or Krakatoa. It was Laki. A vei 4, or there abouts, and is responsible for having killed millions of people worldwide.
The latest, Tonga, realeased enough water vapor into the upper atmosphere that it has caused global weather pattern disruption. We are in about the middle of the 8 to 10 year period of that disruption. BTW, it took just weeks for that water vapor to cover the globe.
There is three ways a human extinction event will happen on earth. Hyper volcanic eruption-BTW if anyone calls a volcano a “super volcano” they dont know what the hell they are talking about. Anyway, global extinction. Hyper vocanic event, extraterrestrial-meteoric, or nuclear war.
Wanna bet which is a more likely event to bet on? I would take nuclear war.
Basically like downtown of any Rat-Run City.
