I've been practicing my road warrior skills in case it all goes down. I always knew there was a good evolutionary reason for road rage. All I need now is to add some dashboard gun controls for my grill, smoke screen, oil slick, ied detector, severe body armor...
I actually hated the new road warrior movie, ridiculously unrealistic. I could barely even finish the piece of crap.

The only one likely to happen in this list is Yellowstone
It is the only super volcano that will most likely wipe out everything if it does explode in the immediate area. It's due for an eruption pretty soon on a geological timescale. (It has erupted every 640,000 year causing minor extinctions in NA)
It just so happens it's been 640,000 years and we could see it erupt tomorrow or we could see it erupt in 100,000 years.

yeah no, the process i listed was a different process, pretty sure. watch the video.
unless the 'capture solution' contains lithium... but there was no mention of that anywhere in the video. i'm pretty sure we are talking about two different things here.
the carbonate solution can be combined with hydrogen from renewable sources and converted into hydrocarbons, which can be used as fuels... which when used, turn back into co2... thus being converted back by the fan systems. seems pretty sustainable to me

Yeah, Yellowstone might be as big a deal as mt st Helens was a few years back. In other words, no biggie.

makaveli8x8 said: but it might only take a little bit if you target the right spot. my guess tho is its mainly from the earth moving and it moves into the wrong spot and blocks the flow of lava then it gets mad all the pressure builds up and poof explosion. so if we monitors the earth movements via ground radar/xray shit, then as technology advances we would know when the earth is about to do this, then send in a navy of earth movers to stop it from happening or something along those lines
As of right now we don't actually have the technology to look very far down in the ground, especially not far enough to see the positions of any tectonic plates(besides one or two places in the world where they've reached the surface of the earth. We can't predict with any long term accuracy when a volcano will erupt unless it gives us a seismic or visual sign of activity.
The lack of this sort of radar technology is why so many people have gone broke drilling for oil and coming up dry.

Actually 1+1=2 is an illusion of the mind. Math doesn't exist really. It is what we make it. Today we use it to get ahead of the person who has bigger number in their bank account.
Numbers are a fool's game.

Yellowstone would be exponentially larger the the recent Mount St Helens eruption, you must know that right?
Some people probably don't know about yellowstone. I envy them.

When yellowstone goes, the whole Northern hemisphere goes. Decades of winter won't be good for the crops, I bet. Not that it matters for Americans, as you will all be vaporized anyway.
Other cool shit:
-Rogue planet -Atmosphere gets stripped away by huge solar storm -Earth passing trough a quasar beam -Nuclear forces decaying -Global nuclear war kicked off by the Jews, Christians and Muslims because they are barbaric death cults and all want the world to end. -Global nuclear war kicked off by the Americans because pew pew -Global nuclear war kicked off by a random computer error, or the new guy fucking up. (This is the most likely scenario for the world to end) -Global nuclear war kicked off by the European Union because they are a barbaric death cult that wants the world to end. -Global nuclear war kicked off by Sheekle. You know what you have done. -Earth is actually an egg; hatching -Waterworld -The icecaps melting while large areas of the planet become desert causing mass famine and huge population shifts with the chaos that brings, resulting in a dark age the likes of which is beyond human comprehension. Hell on earth it will be called. -Asante opening the final seal by accident. -Asante opening the final seal on purpose. -Molemen uprising/Aliens downrising. -Financial collapse that... wait no, that is not an apocalypse unless you're one of "those" guys. -Global pandemic, like ebola, only in places you DO care about. -The amount of energy in the universe slowly winding down until not even the lowly photon can exist, total annihiliation of all matter and energy, heat death of the universe. -Russians tunnel too deep and awaken our doom. -Sentient AI killing everything for no reason. -Spiders develope mindpowers. -A wormhole opens in the orbit of earth, waits hungrily. -Twilight of the gods. -The World Turtle dies or falls into the sun or some shit.
And these are just global apocalypses, there are many, many more possible local apocalypses possible.

Another 3 things WILL happen:
1. Global use of non-capacitor using electronics (this technology already exists)
2. Means of destroying any impending earthbound asteroid/meteor (this technology arguably exists)
3. Technology that allows us to control and/or manipulate tectonic pressure, alleviating (or even preventing) tsunamis and volcanoes.

LOL, north America goes with it. Sure. Do you have anything to back that up? You are getting as bad as enlil making pronouncements he pulls out of his ass.
We have had volcanoes in north America for thousands of years that we know about. There have been little ones and huge ones, we are still here. Sorry again, moon, no natural disasters in our future. Stick with fukushima, you have a better case there.
