50 years? I thought, even under pretty awful cir stances that most farming could recover within 10 years..
Not if the photosynthetic marine Genre extinctions are accurate. With these occurrences a whole lot of terrestrial species went extinct. Big mammals are in huge trouble. But again I have no idea what the forecast of what this particular package would throw up. Maybe you know more about the forecast of this event. Maybe it's not in an area that throws up as much small crap that stays aloft for many years.
Earthquake at Yellowstone Caldera is No Need for Concern
http://www.wired.com/2014/03/earthqu...d-for-concern/
rather lengthy, but it seriously delivers the goods
I watched the whole thing.
If the actors/actresses participating in this movie actually watched what you just posted would they not be inclined to shoot themselves? That must have been seriously awful to have spent money on.
I especially liked the control tower getting upset the plane was leaving while the airport is falling apart.
"the president isn't coming"
commentary: "and he only told me... his geologist"
Some great lines in that video.
that channel has a ton of great ones, they're usually less than 10 minutes long. some very special movies like 2012 or Batman and Robin (the George
Clney/Terminator one) have especially long ones
I agree with DPG tbh. The eruption would definitely alter life on Earth and would be the end of an era (prolly from AD to something else) but I can't see it killing off the human race. Also, from what I've learned in the couple Geology classes I've taken it would only up the climate for 15 years max, and only significantly in the Northern hemisphere.
We could all move in with Manu down South imo.
Well, you might not have a growing season around the world for 5+ years if Yellowstone erupted the way it did in the past so I don't think you'd be incorrect in thinking that more than 1 billion would likely die. We'd likely lose millions here in the US directly. Pinitabo in the early 90s was a VEI 6. The year without a summer in 1815 was caused by a VEI-7 (VEI is a log scale so ~10x worse). Yellowstone's past eruptions have been VEI-8 which would be 100x worse than Pinatubo which noticeably lowered global temps for a couple of years. Its really tough to say that Billions wouldn't die, though.
I"m sure Yellowstone could erupt on a much smaller scale though. There's tons of basalt flows in that park that weren't created by the giant eruptions.
But in any event, no, animals are not fleeing Yellowstone.
15 years of no growing season on this planet is a huge ing deal man. Would definitely be a global phenomenon and not simply in the NH.
It would be but would it cause the extinction of the human race?
if plants and trees cant grow then wouldnt oxygen also be a problem?
I really doubt it. We're too advanced now.
The lucky ones are set to survive just about anything...

Plus major seed banks around the world. Humans are here to stay as long as life can exist on this planet.
It would not be that big of a deal nowadays. In 50-100 years, it will be essentially trivial, extreme discomfort/deaths from the direct damage of the event itself withstanding.
Scientists would be able to detect for at least weeks, probably months, the massive build up of magma before a supervolcano level eruption. And there's no guarantee the volcano would even erupt anywhere near that level of magnitude.
I don't know how this became about humans going extinct. I just said most of us would die with 5 years of being unable to really grow at a large scale if we're looking at perpetual winter on most of the planet in that period.
Robz asked a question.
Ya I was just reiterating what I heard in a class. Have no real idea how the Geological and meteorological impacts of Yellowstone erupting would impact life on the planet tbh.
That in itself is the problem. Everything is interdependent. Shut the supply/delivery grid down and your big cities starve. Something as simple as not being able to get air filters for vehicles could kill the whole system. Extinction? No. But the survivors will be what we now consider to be "backwards" people and civilizations that are used to getting by with nothing.

The bison were running TOWARDS Yellowstone in that video. lol
Y'all mofos thinking that everything will be cool if Yellowstone erupts... no. Not a planet wide extinction but all of us here in the US can probably expect to die within a couple years
lol fear mongering gots
Don't the bison and other animals "flee" in and out of Yellowstone several times each year with the changing seasons? Migration.
