And deeply misleading. There's no particular evidence whatsoever Yellowstone is nearing a supervolcanic eruption. There's been a great deal of misrepresentation, misunderstanding, and flat out false info regarding this in the media, documentaries, and on a boatload o' crappy websites.
Another problem is an overfocus by the public, documentary makers, etc. on exotic stuff with a very, very, very low probability of happening - like a Yellowstone supervolcanic eruption, or things that have been scientifically debunked, like the supposed megatsunami on the East Coast from Cumbre Vieja volcano collapsing.
This causes people to ignore things with a very realistic chance of happening, like an M 7 to 7.5 earthquake in Salt Lake City, that, while, it wouldn't end life on earth, would make Katrina look like a joke.
LOL
Tend to agree with you.
Main thing is to live life to it's fullest while you are here. Kids and grandkids, a good steak, cold beer etc etc.
