This is the part where we are supposed to start running in circles as if our hair is on fire and crying about how man is destroying the planet...global warming, you know, that sort of stuff.
“......global warming, you know, that sort of stuff.”
Well, Yellowstone Park is part of the earth, and as such, by rote, is part of the globe. And the globe is quite warm in many parts of the park.
People and/or their dogs die each year from falling into/jumping into a too hot ‘hot pot’ - illegally, of course. Their skin just falls off in no time - they usually never make it to a burn center.
IF the caldera was to ‘blow’ prior to the ‘blow’ it’s likely that many more pots would become overly hot and the very hot ones will, likely, begin to boil.
The only true definition of global warming, IMHO.
