It would almost be worth it just to see the faces of the bureaucrats and welfare recipients when the government shuts down and their checks stop.
Ash alert!
What's that in American numbers, I don't saavy those weird Urapeein measurements.
Let’s do it! We can put all the illegal aliens Barry brought in to work sweeping it up!
Better ash then legions of a rabid flying monkeys
Between the probability that an asteroid “might” kill us all, or the probability that global warming “might” occur or Yellowstone Supereruption “might” happen. I’m just “mighted” out.
Bring it already!
Can’t get enough of these “unlikely alerts.”
Extremely unlikely? It’s all but inevitable. And based on the geologic record showing it’s happened with fair regularity about every 600 thousand years it’s just about due. Maybe in another hundred thousand years or maybe next month. And there’s not a damned thing anyone can do about it. It’s sort of like, well, death. Worrying about it is a horrible waste of the limited time we have to enjoy the wonders set before us. But unlike anthropomorphic global warming, second hand cigarette smoke, and CFC ozone depletion Yellowstone isn’t a myth or hoax, and when it goes off it really will change humanity and all other life on this planet. No one was taking notes last time but the earth tells the story.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I have seen articles that claim that the ash from the eruption 640,000 years ago were 300 feet thick as far away as what is now Illinois. Also, that cities “close” to the eruption, some 300 miles, would be obliterated by the blast, then buried. Their contention that the “unlikely” (repeated as a mantra throughout the article) eruption would deposit ash only 3 feet thick close to the eruption site seems at odds with what I have read before (putting it politely). After all, 1000 cubic miles of ash is a LOT (10 miles per side cube).
Climate change, algore predictions are always true doncha know?
Many volcanic areas are “restless.” As the magnetic north pole has moved beyond axis north and continues ever more quicky toward Russia, the outer iron core moves faster. When it gets to near 25 degrees above the equator, it might move about 50 degrees within about a year. In the near future, the central Rockies here may be interesting indeed.
"Uh, sorry, folks, Yellowstone has just blown. Game called on account of ash."
We'll be back in 50,000 years, oh, yes we will...
I could use a good piece of ash.
