The timebomb under Yellowstone: Experts warn of 90,000 immediate deaths and a 'nuclear winter'

A supervolcano in the heart of America's northwest has the potential to blanket the US in a 'nuclear winter'.

If it were to erupt, the Yellowstone supervolcano would be one thousand times as powerful as the 1980 Mount St Helens eruption, experts claim.

While it has lain dormant for more than 70,000 years, scientists say that we can't rule out the possibility eruption this may some day take place - although they say the chances are extremely slim.

The eruption, the scientists say, could kill as many as 90,000 people almost instantly and release a 10 ft (3-meter) layer of molten ash 1,000 miles (1,609km) from the park.

'The ash would block off all points of entry from the ground, and the spread of ash and gases into the atmosphere would stop most air travel, just as it did when a much smaller volcano erupted in Iceland in 2010,' the magazine writes.

A supervolcano that might erupt one day.

An asteroid that MIGHT hit earth within a “few” years.

Fox News is conservative.

All the above is true. Only the last one is truly dangerous.

Not just financial Armageddon, lol!

No the deep trench off Puerto Rico has also been recently discovered to be a seismically overdue zone, the deepest trench in the Atlantic and a subduction zone where 2 tectonic plates meet

And baby the entire Caribbean has been vibrating now for weeks and it’s not just “Kick Me Jenny” but that may be part of a bigger picture

As long as they’re white....government is happy.

Before it blows, canwe get congress, and "top" officials from the regime out there on a junket to study it?

[peteyd]

The DM runs this story very 6 mons with some variations.
Either way,asteroid,comet,volcano,global whatever,or political party,we are a doomed lot.

Sharkcano!! Very funny.

[null and void]

Yeah, but if only those coneheads at the SyFy channel had asked me first the tagline on Sharknado 3 wouldn’t have been “OH HELL NO” but “AW HELL GNAW!”...

[Kirkwood]

Nuclear? Yes, let's throw in the word nuclear to make it sound more scary.

[PAR35]

Maps drawn by liberals? Austin is marked, but not Dallas or Houston.

[xp38]

Nuclear Winter beats Global Warming...problem solved.

[xp38]

Lets all move to Australia!

[Darren McCarty]

More like 90 million or more if it happens and if it matches Lava Creek or Toba.

It's unlikely to happen in our lifetime, but volcanic winter is no joke. Pinatubo opened our eyes to the power of a volcano. Laki and Tambora were two of the worst natural disasters in the past 300 years.

The good news? Pinatubo is rare, let alone a Laki, Santorini, Toba, or Tambora.

One thing's for sure. There's a ton of climate "scientists" (alarmists) who are married to this warmism alchemy slut. When their fraud is finally exposed, they will have to be drummed from legitimate science forever. That may solve our illegal alien problem, as the newly unemployable former "scientists" have to seek work at their level of competence, we may suddenly have a glut of Americans who will do the work the rest of Americans just won't do.

Lets all move to Australia!

But, but, but they have SNAKES in Australia! I saw them on the TV!

[xp38]

And crocs too and I don’t mean that footwear.

[DAC21]

Thank you Lord, previous published maps showed parts of So Cal being taken out as well.
I’m saved!

[Afterguard]

Pfffftt! We’re almost 15 feet above sea level here. I ain’t scared of no stinking quake induced tsunami.

[Jack Hydrazine]

If your dream is correct it’s possible that Yellowstone might erupt in our time.
