The next supereruption of the Yellowstone Supervolcano will be the end of the United States.

Not just the end of the U.S. but the end of the world as we know it. And there really isn't anything we can do about it.

Did you just find out about this caldera?

The world will not end until EMI releases every little scrap of Beatles outtakes.
They could well be another few centuries.

I bet your god would be a whole lot more impressed if instead of praying for your country, you prayed for all mankind. Then he might be more inclined to break the perfect rules he set up to help the imperfect people he'd already decided (in his perfect way) didn't need his help.

There are potentially massive volcanoes all over the world.
Some say one in Indonesia may have been the cause of the downfall of the dinosaurs, others say there was a massive event in Yellowstone park.

We know far too little about our planet at the moment so have little idea what it's capable of doing.

Pal if that supervolcano goes off its going to be the end of civilization as we know it.

Its environmental effect will be global, especially in the northern hemispherem and I am informed the earth would suffer a nuclear winter lasting two or three years

Economically then, all the world's civilization is going to be hard pressed to carry on AT ALL.

No reason to assume we're totally helpless. With enough lead time ... as in centuries ... we could conceivable use geothermal projects to tap off the heat and prevent the eruption. We're not at the point where we can predict such things, so it's something to work on.

And while I'm not saying to put a geothermal plant over Old Faithful, it might not be a bad idea to have some around outside the park. Yes, it might affect the park features eventually. That's a good thing, a price we have to pay for not eventually having a supervolcano erupt.

This is a real concern but we will probably have a few months of warning.
