I was also looking a the shaky data around this so called potential disaster. It's a crock of B.S.

This is not at all true in regards to what is actually going on under Yellowstone. In fact, the hot spot has drifted under a stronger layer of crust and is deeper than it has been in the past. This greatly lessens the likely chances for a catastrophic Caldera type of eruption.

There may be smaller surface basalt flows like there have repeatedly been for millennium. They have occurred like clockwork through out the region. I have spent time there myself, touring these past flows. I also lived in the area for some time.

Sorry to rain on the knee jerker parade, but I'm sure you will soon find something else to feed your adrenaline addictions on.

”In fact, the hot spot has drifted under a stronger layer of crust and is deeper than it has been in the past.”

The hot spot has always been drifting under a mountain and this part of the mountain is larger then before. If that is what you are referring to yes that is all true.
yes, there has been smaller basalt flows which I pointed out in my first post.

Calling a potential threat for what it is and telling people about the threat isn’t BS and only leads to scientists being more secretive about their information given to the public.

I totally understand why Stormer thinks we should keep our mouths shut I just don’t agree with keeping the public in the dark.


Remember Sir Isaac Newton was an armature bucking science.

Somewhere on this thread, or perhaps the one right before you will read that indeed was conveyed, not only by me but others.
