OMG!! WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!
libs: gullible, sttupid and ignorant. AND they all think that we are too.
if you beleive this, I have a real nice bridge to sell ya. it's even in New YOrk City!
I watched the show last nite. It was interesting, but I never got the feeling that we're in imminent danger. According to scientists, the chances of something happening like this soon, is remote, although it has happened approximately every 640,000 to 800,000 years for the last three times. The last time the volcano erupted was nearly 600,000 years ago.
I live in Phoenix, I'm safe from the super volcano, and mega tsunamis. But Killer Bees will likely do me in, if the Fire Ants don't get me first.
--I thought I'd watch it for amusement but turned off after twenty minutes--it just kept getting worse--
I meant to watch that show last night. I'll watch it again when they re-run it.
Movies like that should be taken with a grain of salt. Linda like last year's "The Day After Tomorrow".
Why did Tom Brokaw led his credibility to the show?
Yellowstone does set on a huge caldera that has erupted in the past and is likely to erupt again in the future. Beyond that the story was typical fiction based on simple facts and cheesey characters.
If the caldera erupted tomorrow there wouldn't be anything we could do to stop it and huge numbers of people would die. It's one of those things not worth worrying about.
It is fact that there have been three eruptions, but it doesn't necessarily follow that there will be another. Made for an intersting 'what if' movie though. It was kind of refreshing to see a geological/climatological disaster movie that didn't blame the human race in General and America in particular.
Yeah, the government folks were kinda slow on the uptake, but you must admit, this kind of disaster would tax even the most efficient system, and we don't have one of those. ;o)
*LOL* Yep, Discovery channel should stick to stuff like "Blue Planet". I enjoyed that one.
Just take it for what it is - a "what if" scenario, not dissimilar to the 'documentary' on Animal Planet about dragons.
They probably fired on US citizens on sight.
Sooooo...Kyoto will actually do more harm than good by freeing the air of all those "greenhouse gases" that would have served to lessen the effects of a volcanic winter!
How insidious!

Oh, and of course, as Americans fled the new menace of nature south, the Mexicans closed the border, just as it happened in the movie “The Day After Tomorrow.” (No movie ever mentions how the Mexicans accomplish this feat, since America is unable to manage the same on the other side of the border.)
They offer free access to Mexican medical care.
LOL. Sounds a lot like the NYSlimes, and the rest of the MSM
High ranking cabinet level officers were portrayed as inept and callous.
And I wonder how many other folks heard the line that:
"Air Force One took the President to an Air Force base in Florida but the information was to remain confidential because "SHE" didn't want to appear as if she was running away."

Seriesly, you guys -- this is hugh! My beeber is completely stuned!
It will happen again some day...but there is no sign that it will be anytime in the next bunch of lifetimes...
But I recommend we all go out and buy the biggest baddest SUV's on the market to fill the atmosphere with lots of greenhouse gasses so we can shorten the effects of the global winter that will ensue if Yellowstone blows its top again.....
At least it puts an end to global warming.
