I have to step in here.

More like stepped IN it here winnie.

Yellowstone will one day blow...I hope there are more eyes upon it than just Steve's cause in this climate of science, I will trust casual observation sooner than schooled.

Sorry, casual observation resulted in an abundance of tinfoil being wasted. It is one thing to see wiggles on a seismograph - it is something entirely else to correctly interpret those wiggles - and individuals who are untrained in the science doing the chicken little just because they see wiggles then posting as informed 'fact' is stupidity. Case in point on was the statement on just how "active" the park had been over the past week - except there wasn't much happening at all. And because of all that (non)activity we are all to stop our lives and expect at least an 'off gassing event'. Give me a break. Are you able to interpret those wiggles winnie? Well the people who can and have the proper equipment and software can and do that every day. I've worked with some USGS seismologists on an active fault that has been recently discovered at one of my project sites - they are very sharp. I give the learned a great deal more credibility than someone who can't interpret a seismograph.

As for Katla, the nondescript quakes you accused Stevie of reading to much into for yellowstone, well you just mirrored him with Katla’s quake action.

No, lets get this very clear as there are significant differences. First, Katla is a historically active volcano that has pre-existing data for many of those eruptions - none exist for Yellowstone except for the deposits. Second, you need were to go BEYOND the quakes and look at inflation of the volcano and monitoring of the movement of magma beneath the volcano (something that was not the case with Yellowstone), there is cause for concern of an eruption, particularly because of the historic association with E15. Katla erupts once about every 60 years and has not done so since 1918. Third, I was careful to refer to the actual scientists monitoring the volcano rather than try to blow smoke on details that I admittedly did not know. In the future, try not to misquote me.

Point being, a scientific mind does not require a degree, it just has to be “biased” free

Bias free - LOL that is rich and apparently you are unaware of actual working of science. One can be as bias free as you can imagine - but if they know nothing of the principles involved, ignorant in interpreting the data, and wrapped with tinfoil in thinking that they 'know' more about the situation even though they cannot understand or interpret the data in-front of them - that makes them some how better than those of us who have studied the principles involved and do this for a living. Sorry winnie - that becomes a very dangerous bias - a bias of ignorance for the ignorant.

LOl...okay bud....obviously....your Wheaties's must be soggy....lol

I know Katla i guess better than you, for none of it's monitoring stations are showing anything happening under it's glacier that is not within backround. Katla’s involvement with Eyejaf, is tentative at best, so the jury is still out if one influences the other.

Thirdly, I could give a crap if you have any experience what-so-ever, clearly your opinion is not correct on Katla so in my estimation you are no more sound a thought than Steve and quite possibly because of your presentation less.

Good Day, Sir.
