Call it the farside or the darkside or the hitherside or yonderside, but backside? Keep in mind, these are scientists you are talking to. It was probably their idea of a joke.

There's a geothermal plant on the island of Hawaii that everyone hates. They were planning to make a bunch more; don't know what came of it. It stunk, sounded horrible, made everyone around it sick.

"The big problem is a lot of the volcanoes that potentially could erupt are perhaps not monitored to the degree that they should be,Not like they could do anything about it anyway, short of order evacuations. So where do you run from a global catastrophe?

.....After the eruption 73,000 years ago, the human population dropped drastically and reached a bottleneck population of about 1,000 people (the bare minimum needed to sustain the species in a healthy fashion.)....
Those of us who are sceptics wonder about this very plausible statement. Could you provide a reference where I could learn more about this aspect of the last Toba eruption.

It must be federal grant application time in the labs, universities and ivory towers of the globalist network.

"Where is that?"
You mean Long Valley (AKA those mountains around the town of Mammoth) ? It's on the east side of the Sierras in California near the Nevada border south of Mono Lake and north of Bishop. It's like a smaller (but still huge 10-20 miles wide) version of Yellowstone. The Caldera is so big you have no idea you're actually sitting in the middle of a volcano.
It acts up from time to time and is still very much an active volcano just on "time out" at the moment.

Actually both meteor impact and supervolcano have happened before and will happen again
The big ? Is WHEN
Could be tomorrow or in 50.000 years

Saw a documentary on the Krakatoa eruption in 1883 the other night on PBS. Very enlightening about the history of that disaster and also the possibilities of a modern recurrence from any of several active volcanoes.
By the way, a new volcanic island has built up out of the sea at the Krakatoa site in the Sunda Strait.

Do you have a map on location of this Super Volcano ?
I know it's in Indonesia.

It wouldn't make a difference if Yellowstone blew. Almost everything west of the Mississippi will be buried in ash as it was in the past.
