How soon before some ErfDay idiot blames humans for the huge magma reservoir?

Something along the lines of: The extreme weight due to the overpopulation of the North American Continent has placed such extreme pressure on the tectonic plates that it has forced magma to rise and pool under Yellowstone and will cause an eruption of such magnitude as to cause the extinction of all life from the midwest to the PAcific coast and Alaska to Mexico. We must shift the populations of all the western states equally around the globe to immediately alleviate the risk and then implement a rapid depopulation program to save the Earth from man. Long live Gaia!

Silly, don’t you know that only carbon dioxide produced by conservatives harms the environment?

It’s a scientific fact, 92% of all scientists I polled reached a consensus on that.

This is the one that, if it blows, will kill 75% of the people in the Western US, right?

How many times are they going to “find” this damn thing?

It is like passing school levies. Voters say “No”. Then they put it back on ballot, the “new and improved levy”, and they say “NO!”. Then “Hell No”, etc.

No one gives a hoot (nor should they).

This is a thing under the thing. It’s a newly discovered thing under the thing we already knew about.

We could harness this and supply enough geothermal energy to the Western U.S. for the next 250 years

These guys know the job:

Which movie do you prefer - Dante’s Peak or Volcano?

Volcano. I'm partial to the scene where Stanford "Stan" Olber carries the unconscious subway car conductor over his shoulders while the lava flows under the car. Praying, his shoes begin melting as he gets to the subway car doorway and in the end, he throws the conductor over his head to safety as he sacrifices himself, dying in the lava flow. That's a powerful, inspiring scene.

Volcano. I always enjoy movies where Los Angeles gets blowed up.

Well thanks, but I already know about the other thing because I am a nut and study such things.

Let’s face it. We’re all gonna die! LOL

The earlier thing is on top of the new thing. Cue Monty Python.
