Three global catastrophes that WILL happen

There are at least thee global catastrophes that can happen at any moment and absolutely will happen eventually with one hundred percent certainty . These are not just possible, they are absolutely inevitable - These are not theories , these are guaranteed .
1. An earth facing coronal mass ejection/x class flare will cause an emp that will knock out the entire planets power Grid, causing a complete collapse of human civilization and causing numerous nuclear reactors to melt down.
2. An asteroid will impact the earth creating a global extinction event that will devestate life ln earth as happened in the time of the dinosaurs.
3. Yellowstone super volcano /caldera will erupt obliterating most of North america and coating the earth in volcanic dust that will make farming impossible even as it blocks out the sun creating a global winter and massive starvation.
I wish it was not true but all three of these things ARE going to happen , there is Zero debate on this.
As surely as 1+1=2, these three mass extinction events are on their way.
The question is not if, but when.
There is absolutely no guarantee that one or more of these won't happen in the near future. Hopefully we can all live out our lives before these events occur but it's entirely possible they could happen today, with no warning.
Be prepared.

Debate:
1. I am kind of interested in this happening.
2. We'll zap it.
3. Why can't we figure out how to tap Yellowstone, release the pressure gradually?

It is absolutely possible to harden the power grid so that when we get hit by a CME EMP we will be fine. It wouldn't even be prohibitively expensive. If people do the right thing this one can be prevented from destroying our civilization but so far it isn't being done and we are sitting Ducks. One burp from the sun and its back to the stone age plus a dozen chernobyls.
with enough funding and research we could have a way to redirect asteroids. But so far not nearly enough work and money is going into this and not only do we not currently have the capacity to prevent an asteroid , we don't even have the ability to see it coming. We can only see and detect a portion of asteroids and one could be an hour away and we wouldn't even have any warning . But again; it is possible for humans to prevent this but only if we hurry up and put a Manhattan project level of effort into this before it's too late.
With Yellowstone I do not believe there is any way, even theoretically, to prevent it, and I doubt there will be any time soon.
Governments around the world are constructing seed vaults , underground bunkers and emergency protocols and training to prepare for global catastrophe and when it happens there will be scattered pockets of government and military groups surviving in hardened underground bunkers.
Citizens must do their best to prepare as well. There will be survivors , but very very few, and only those who prepare heavily will have a chance in hell.

The thing that you're leaving out is the probability of these happening. Sure, they will happen sometime in the next 50 billion years or so. But, they have low probability of happening in our life times with the exception of Yellowstone. It may happen in our lifetime, but the probability is still low.

hahah moonshoe you are such an intense character. I love it. So much intensity in your posts
On a serious note, it shouldn't be a surprise at all that some sort of natural disaster that we have little control over will strike. As such, planning for and expecting the worst isn't a bad idea. I am not sure about the 3 events you mentioned above. But generally speaking, some sort of horrible collpse is inevitable, and I was thinking the other day about getting an RV and maybe some guns and non perishable food for my family

I still subcribe to global warming theories. We are a massively disruptive force for the rest of mother nature 
In regards to the astroid, the only way it would get through our EM field and atmosphere without being deterred would be if it were fucking massive. If that's the case, blowing it up will create a lot of potentially destructive debris. Idk how advanced our detection systems are, but we'd have to head it off REALLY early to spread the asteroid debris enough and obliterate it enough to make the aformentioned natural defenses effective.
And I'd love to trip with Moonshoe

He listed some immediate solutions, but I do think we'll get out there first. Small ass colonies, but enough to survive for another couple hundred years or so beyond departure.

I think with the right research and technology we can prevent supervolcano's from going off, but there's hardly any money at all being put towards it. Idealy we should be harvesting thermal energy from them, and through research we might determine how to prevent massive eruptions, perhaps by starting tiny ones, or releaving pressure in spots, hitting it with huge lazors, throwing kittys at it, who knows but someone should be testing it
the nuclear reactors should be shut down if they can't survive a sun flare, like wtf.......so that one can be prevented and should have already been prevented

Ho hum, an easily avoided one, another that won't happen and Yellowstone is going to obliterate n America? Just like mt st hellens did a few years back? ho hum.
The asteroids are being monitored as we speak, no large one is headed our way and if one does in the future we will know about it way in advance. This is not 1915. We will leisurely send off a rocket with the correct charges to push the asteroid into a different path. If done far enough away, a tiny fraction of a degree difference in direction means it misses us by millions of miles. Ho hum.
And nuke plants will melt down from emf? On what planet? Those things are very well protected. If nothing else they could shut them down when the flare is detected. Another ho hum.
Nope, none of those things will happen, ever. Nothing to see here folks, sorry to ruin your doomsday thread, moon.

The Sun turning this rock into an uninhabitable wasted land is also guaranteed to happen. I'm not gonna go rushing out to get prepared for it or worry about it as I will of been long dead before it happened. The chances of any one of those scenarios happening within the next 100 years are probably no more likely than me dropping dead the second I post this reply.

If we were able to extract enough energy from super volcanoes, then we would likely mitigate an eruption. That would be a lot of energy though.

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

Yeah, but that is idealism. Folks aren't going to stop fuckin to save the world. And, many folks like the feels of fuckin raw rather than wrappin it up. So, you're right about controlling the population, but it won't ever work in practice.
T. Mckenna once said that couples should be limited to having 1 child. Then after a few generations, the population would start to drop. It's a great idea, but IMO, it won't ever happen. Also, I have no children.
@makaveli8x8, I think that is an awesome idea. I wonder if there are any funding opportunities to research this.

The solution to an asteroid is not to blow it up, which either wouldn't work or would cause serious problems. The solution is to launch a rocket into space that will fly very close to the asteroid, exerting a subtle Gravitational pull on the incoming asteroid which will nudge it out of its impact trajectory. No need to blow it up just nudge it away.
However we do not yet have this capacity although the theory is valid we are not prepared to do this and if we detect an incoming asteroid it is highly unlikely it will be ready in time unless we have years of warning.
And contrary to what many assume we do not know even close to all the asteroids out there and we do not know if there is one coming or not . At the moment are detection system is far from complete and there are certain kinds that we can't see at all at present. We need to invest in improved asteroid detection as currently one could be four hours away and we would have no idea.
If anyone thinks that these are not guaranteed to happen just do some research there is no controversy at all.
The chance that they will happen during our lifetimes is hopefully and probably low, but also unknowable . The chance would be 100% but we just don't know it yet.
There is an excellent chance none of these will come to pass during the next 100 years but also a substantial possibility they or something similar will happen.
Yellow stone erupts at regular intervals and it is now "due" but could still be 100 000 years away.
Listen to Randall Carlson's two excellent presentations on the Joe rogan experience podcast. Jist YouTube Randall carlson Joe rogan.
Very fascinating and informative and awesome presentations about the catastrophic events that always have and always will rock the earth.
And yes human caused ecological collapse is another huge threat to civilization and is well under way'!

We need to invest in improved asteroid detection as currently one could be four hours away and we would have no idea.
If anyone thinks that these are not guaranteed to happen just do some research there is no controversy at all.
The chance that they will happen during our lifetimes is hopefully and probably low, but also unknowable . The chance would be 100% but we just don't know it yet.
There is an excellent chance none of these will come to pass during the next 100 years but also a substantial possibility they or something similar will happen.
Yellow stone erupts at regular intervals and it is now "due" but could still be 100 000 years away.
Listen to Randall Carlson's two excellent presentations on the Joe rogan experience podcast. Jist YouTube Randall carlson Joe rogan.
Very fascinating and informative and awesome presentations about the catastrophic events that always have and always will rock the earth.
And yes human caused ecological collapse is another huge threat to civilization and is well under way'!
Say your prayers, hug your family, stock up on shotgun shells and freeze dried food, grab a bottle of red wine and enjoy the blood moon eclipse tonight !

>contrary to what many assume we do not know even close to all the asteroids out there
We do know all the big ones and the little ones are not very important. They burn up in the atmosphere.
> The solution is to launch a rocket into space that will fly very close to the asteroid, exerting a subtle Gravitational pull on the incoming asteroid which will nudge it out of its impact trajectory. No need to blow it up just nudge it away.
I didn't say blow it up, I said push it into a different path. We have no way of exerting "gravitational pull" on it, but we can create an explosion in the right spot that the shock wave will push the asteroid to where we want it. It matters not if it breaks up or doesn't.
Nice try at creating scare scenarios but you failed.
What will happen in our lives includes first the economic meltdown, the imposition of martial law and what few freedoms we have left will be taken away. While you are hiding under the bed in fear of an asteroid or sun flare, the real danger will be happening.

Duk already posted this but yeah none of the things OP listed are likely to happen anytime soon.... Humans though, are rapidly changing the face of the planet with carbon emissions from cars and farming...
Fear not though! We are soon to be building massive fans/filters that remove carbon from the atmosphere and turn it into bicarbonate and then a fuel source.

I do not think that is correct, though it is a shame. I'll post the video here soon when i find it.
The amazon is experiencing lots of deforestation due to oil exploration and even more to farming and illegal logging. It's atrocious.

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

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.

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.

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.

We have had huge eruptions in n America. Can you show us evidence that Yellowstone will be worse, that it will happen in near future and finally, that it will wipe out our continent? I'm more worried about aliens than that and I'm not worried at all about aliens.
Even mt Vesuvius, the best known and possibly worst volcanic disaster in history did not wipe out a continent, it barely wiped out a small island.
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming. The sky is falling!

The worst vulcanic eruption in history, as far as we know, has been the Siberian Trappes eruption which lead to the Permian mass extinction.

Read a book? You know how big the Yellowstone vulcano is? It's more or less the entirety of yellowstone.

You bring up stuff that happened hundreds of millions of years ago and expect us to be worried about it? Lol. It is speculated the eruptions, which occurred over a period of about a million years was caused by a meteor impact. This sort of thing is going on today in Hawaii forming new land. Are you excited about that too?
Be more worried that a punk will break into your house and kill you. That happens every day, not every few million years.

It really seems like you are not aware of the fundamentals of the situation. I think maybe you should do some basic reading on yellowstone. Its universally recognized as guaranteed to destabilize the entire planet in a massive way when it erupts. there is no one who does not think its a big deal, unless they just don't know about it.

WHAT?!!!

First of all I was talking about another vulcano just to show that this does in fact happen. Yellowstone is not in Siberia, we're talking about a completely different vulcano! 
And suddenly you talk about some punk I have to be worried about?

It has never caused exctinctions throughout the world. Yes the immediate area will be vaporized and the major area around the volcano will be ruined for thousands of years.
But it's not as big as a deal as you make it to be. If it happened, humans could still live on, just not in North America.
Yellowstones has commonly exploded throughout history. It's never been a complete disaster, despite how large of a volcano it is.

Wiping out 300-400 million humans isn't an extinction. It's an extreme catastrophe, yes. However that isn't even 10% of the human population.
Even including mexico/canada, it's not even 15%. It would only take 20-50 years to replace that.

You are taking all the fun away from the sky is falling crowd. Moon has his panic bag ready and soon as Yellowstone erupts, he will head out into the woods and hunt moose and deer.
Volcanoes impact the immediate area and have never caused a mass extinction. Volcanoes are erupting as we speak, better stay under the bed just in case.

Most of us live in North America and america is covered in nuclear plants now. That was never the case before. Also the dust cloud it will produce will smother farm land and block the sun causing global starvation. I never said Yellowstone will wipe out humans , it won't. But it will be greatest catastrophe in modern human histor and virtually drag our civilization to our knees as well as killing most people on the shroomery .

You have once again neglected to provide any evidence to support your latest theory. Maybe you should turn your creative talents toward talking up an alien invasion? That might be slightly more likely than asteroids and monster eruptions.

So just to be totally clear, you actually don't know that yellowstone will eradicate north america and cause global winter for years afterwards?
You never heard that before?
You could literally google yellowstone and just read anything that comes up and you will learn.
This isn't some fringe conspiracy its absolutely uncontroversial. Would you like me to provide you some sources proving that asteroids can fuck the planet up to?
There are some things that seem to obvious and universally known to bother providing you sources, if you want to know just google yellowstone and read the wikipedia and whatever else comes up.
I am not going to bother providing sources for something so well known. There are hundreds of documentaries, videos, articles, websites, and there is no controversy. There is no counter argument. there is no doubt.
This would be like providing you sources that the Holocaust happened.
Educate yourself if you want to stop looking ignorant.

Moon, so I gather all you have to back your 'Yellowstone will wipe out n america' theory is saying everyone knows? I'm supposed to look it up myself? Who brought this nutjob theory forward, you did. You are the one who is supposed to prop it up and you have failed to do so.
Everyone knows Yellowstone is just a geyser.

Are you excited about that too?
Be more worried that a punk will break into your house and kill you. That happens every day, not every few million years.

WHAT?!!!

First of all I was talking about another vulcano just to show that this does in fact happen. Yellowstone is not in Siberia, we're talking about a completely different vulcano! 
And suddenly you talk about some punk I have to be worried about?

I'm still waiting for moon to come up with anything to support his silly claim about Yellowstone. His only answer is look it up yourself. Yellowstone is perfectly safe, look it up.

Waves. Certain seismic waves only travel through solid, while some other waves can pass through both liquid molten and solid rock. By sending waves through it, they can kind of map it out. That's the jist of the idea, anyway. It's a lot more technical than that.

I dont get it when people say that...an asteroid is years off thing and what they say.. we're on a ball in free fall circles..its weird man..
Some devastating thing has as much chance of sidelining this pool ball as it did a million years ago as it did a million years from now, as it does in three minutes..
For all you non creationists.. with the amount of 'random' that this world, universe, even your tires not blowing out tomorrow provides...scientific proof.... how can you explain, scientifically, ...how does this "balance", just happen to reign? How is that. I'd like to see Prof. Bornknow explain that...
Think about it when you are out in the sun tomorrow. One inch closer, burn..one inch further, freeze..
I don't know if any of you play insturments, but if you have.. you know keeping in tune is a constant adjusting..all you car fellows.. people in resturants working those recepies... yeah...
How is it in this chaotic "everything", there just so happens to not be the infinite 'doesn't works', yet there seems to be this one constant...a mass unity, balance, tune, focus like a gyro spinning.
For all you science folk... believe this, just because you can't 'explain' something, doesn't mean you're not seeing exactly what's happening.

Well technically it's all speculation I guess, but it is pretty much basic physics applied to different sets of data that we have about the geology of the area and fossil records.

heated magma over time pushes on the crust of the earth and then = boom
The scale that this is happening on makes it unrealistic that we could "vent" a volcano. They already vent on their own as much as possible, and the forces that cause things like eruptions are resulting from the movement of the crust of the earth, which isn't something we could hope to stop. It's always possible that it won't be as bad as people expect, but it's the type of thing where even a best case scenario is still a pretty big deal.

I haven't read this whole thread, but as for #1, we're constantly working to increase the amount of warning we'll have of this type of thing, and we will be able to mitigate the damage to a large degree. It will not boot us back to the stone age, it is u likely to cause reactor meltdowns, and the last estimate I heard was that it will probably take around 5 years to fully recover. A big deal, sure. Probably does count as a catastrophe. But, it's not nearly as bad as most people who are aware of the possibility think.

Is that all you've got? Some speculation and 'simulated' explosions? That sensationalistic article omits a few facts.
First of all, the only thing pushing up the magma is the fact its lighter than the rock around it. Hot rock is less dense than colder rock so it slowly rises over a period of thousands or millions of years. The only time there is an explosion of any magnitude is when there is gas pressure. Your little scare article did not show there was gas present in any quantity.
If it did erupt it would likely be less than mt st Helens, ho hum.
Looks like the gloom and doom crowd struck out again.

So now asante has fallen into the ranks of the doomsayers? Or just likes to troll? Nothing in either of the articles he or shoe posted indicate that n America will be wiped out if they erupt again. At most there would be some annoying ash and smoke grounding airlines. The weather may or may not be affected. Those near the eruption will experience lava flow
Ho and hum, is that all you guys have got? An eruption that may or may not take place in the next few hundred thousand years? And if it does there will be smoke and ash? Lets hide under our beds or do like shoe does and run out into the woods to escape the disaster.
The real actual likely disasters are the ones everybody seems to ignore like having a goof and a fool in the white house dealing with savvy dictators like putin who always seems to eat the lunch of the clueless obumble. War could break out and that is an actual disaster, not just smoke and lava.
Then we have the ongoing economic meltdown and readjustment which will take its toll. Many will be out of work.
There, cheer up you gloom and doomers, I gave you something real to worry about.

No wonder you've got anti semitic tendencies, ! What the hell is wrong with you man.
Seriously, NOBODY here is worried about the volcano, it is just one of many scenario's that at some point in the future can fuck shit up real bad. I am dead serious, what the hell is wrong with you?
And WHY SHOULD I BE WORRIED ABOUT PUNKS COMING TO MY HOUSE TO KILL ME?

Moon, you can huff and puff, but you can't make it into a super disaster no matter what colorful charts you post. The only thing pushing the lava up is the fact its lighter than surrounding rock. This is known as a scientific fact. Now you try to tell us it will happen in 2021? That is known as a wild guess, not science.

I never said it would happen in 2021, no one can predict when exactly it will happen, but we know it will, and its absolutely universally recognized that it will be the greatest catastrophe in the history of modern civilization. There is no scientific perspective that exists that says yellowstone will not be a devestating, colossal catastrophe for north america with global impact.
This is getting ridiculous. You are living on another planet. You need to watch a few videos or read a few sources before you start talking about this, as you obviously know nothing about it.

>I never said it would happen in 2021
That's what your chart said, do you even read your own charts? Nothing you have presented indicates it would be "the greatest catastrophe in the history of modern civilization" you have presented zero evidence of that. It may or may not erupt in the next 100,000 years and it may or may not be bigger than st Helens when and if it does. Ho hum once again, nice try but no cigar.

I've been to Yellowstone a handful of times. Worked a few hours from there a while back on a job transfer.
It's really an incredibly epic corner of the world. Just being there and thinking about what you're actually standing on, when you ponder it, is pretty surreal.

Neither have you established that. We have had many eruptions, none have been such a disaster as what you wish for. You have shown zero evidence for an eruption in the near future nor for a large one at any time. Just because there is a large lava field it does not follow that an eruption will be huge or produce unusual amounts of ash.

This is getting absurd.
Look at the size of St. Helena. Now look at the size of the Yellowstone caldera.
do it now, no whining, no being a little bitch, just fucking go to Wikipedia, open two tabs, one on St. Helena and one on Yellowstone, and compare & contrast the two. Take note on shit like the pressure in magma chambers and whatnot.

Silly and excitable people can't give one valid reason why Yellowstone will cause any great damage when and if it blows. They just say "look how big it is" which reveals the fact they have no idea. There is lava under every square foot of land and sea right now. Why doesn't it squirt out at the surface? It has no reason to. Neither does yellow far as we know.
SK says more stupid things than the next 3 liberals put together.

You really got it wrong calling people excitable about it. The only alarmist here is you, with your warning about a punk coming to my house. What the fuck was that about anyway?
It's just another fact, like it was a full moon yesterday, there's a comet with a robot on it, and a giant ass vulcano will have more power than a relatively small vulcano.
What is wrong with you? Have you looked shit up like I asked? You're being incredibly childish here, you're the equivilant of some creationist fucktard that wants proof of evolution, and you throw a fucking library at them, which they ignore and then they tell you there is no proof.
Are you trolling or something? Jesus. I've never blocked somebody on the shroomery, but this and the anti-semitism...

Dude you obviously don't understand the difference between a volcano and a SUPER volcano. yellowstone is a supervolcano. We have never in recorded history endured a super volcano eruption and when we do it will make any volcanic eruption in recorded history look TINY by comparison.
What you are saying is something like "I have seen lots of shooting stars and they never did any damage, why would I worry about an asteroid?" and then a mile long asteroid made of iron slams into the earth and destroys it.
The sad thing is I don't think you are trolling, which means you are actually in a really bad state intellectually.
The post below shows the relationship in size between the mount st. Helens eruption and a yellowstone super eruption. Its many orders of magnitude bigger.

"If the supervolcano underneath Yellowstone National Park ever had another massive eruption, it could spew ash for thousands of miles across the United States, damaging buildings, smothering crops, and shutting down power plants. It'd be a huge disaster.
In September 2014, a team of scientists published a paper in Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems exploring what a Yellowstone super-eruption might actually look like.
Among other things, they found the volcano was capable of burying states like Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Colorado in three feet of harmful volcanic ash — a mix of splintered rock and glass — and blanket the Midwest. That much ash could kill plants and animals, crush roofs, and short all sorts of electrical equipment:
catastrophic "super-eruptions." A super-eruption is anything that measures magnitude 8 or more on the Volcano Explosivity Index, in which at least 1,000 cubic kilometers (or 240 cubic miles) of material gets ejected. That's enough to bury Texas five feet deep.
These super-eruptions are thousands of times more powerful than even the biggest eruptions we're used to. Here's a chart from USGS comparing the Yellowstone super-eruptions with the Mt. St. Helens eruption of 1980. The difference is staggering:

And what if we did get a super-eruption — an event that was 1,000 times more powerful than a regular volcanic eruption, ejected at least 240 cubic miles of material, and lasted weeks or months? The lava flows themselves would be contained within a relatively small radius within the park — say, 40 miles or so. In fact, only about one-third of the material would actually make it up into the atmosphere.
The main damage would come from volcanic ash — a combination of splintered rock and glass — that was ejected miles into the air and scattered around the country. In their new paper, Lowenstern and his colleagues looked at both historical ash deposits and advanced modeling to conclude that an eruption would create an umbrella cloud, expanding even in all directions. (This was actually a surprising finding.)
A super-eruption could conceivably bury the northern Rockies in three feet of ash — devastating large swaths of Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado, Montana, and Utah. Meanwhile, the Midwest would get a few inches of ash
Any of those scenarios would be terrible news. That much volcanic ash is capable of killing people, plants, and animals and crushing buildings. Even a few inches of ash (which is what much of the country can get) can destroy farms, clog roadways, cause serious respiratory problems, block sewer lines, and even short out transformers. Air travel would have to shut down across much of North America."

Your quote is full of "if" "could" "might" and so on. Do you know what causes massive ejection of material? It takes gas to do that. Where is the gas coming from? This is on a par with your giant asteroid scenario which also is not going to happen.
>The sad thing is I don't think you are trolling, which means you are actually in a really bad state intellectually.
So if people don't believe the sky is falling they are in a bad state? I think the chicken littles who do believe it are in a bad state. Try taking some deep breaths, you might feel better.
We have seismology and tools which can give us much info on the state of things below the surface. Any sort of condition that might eventually lead to a super explosion would be seen long in advance. Nothing remotely like that has been found. In a million years it may happen or may never happen. Why do you insist on worrying about it now?

When you say "asteroid is not going to happen" you are again revealing yourself to be completely delusional. We have been hit by asteroids countless times through earth's history and will be countless times again.
You have declared yourself to be fully and completely delusional and ignorant of science. I think I have spent enough time trying to bring you up to speed on 20th century science.
Good luck, and enjoy your blissful ignorance! I won't lie, I envy you your ability to believe well known scientific inevitability will never happen.
Remember, ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge is power.

I did not say asteroids never hit or that volcanoes never happen. Lol, you are getting desperate. I said the likelihood of a big one is infinitesimal. As for asteroids, we have telescopes that see them coming. All the big ones have been tracked for years and are no threat. So you turned your sky-is-falling attention to Yellowstone because its underground and therefore mysterious. Here is what the scientists say about it.
http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/volcanoes/yellowstone/yellowstone_sub_page_49.html
"QUESTION: What is the chance of another catastrophic volcanic eruption at Yellowstone? ANSWER: Although it is possible, scientists are not convinced that there will ever be another catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone. Given Yellowstone's past history, the yearly probability of another caldera-forming eruption can be approximated as 1 in 730,000 "
Quit trying to generate hysteria.

The chance of yellowstone erupting on any given year is small. the chance of it eventually happening is high. The chance of it happening in our lifetime is low but not knowable.
Although we do track many asteroids there are many we cant see at all, such as those from behind the sun or those with compositions that make them dark. There are many (and could be one on an impact trajectory) that we don't even know exist. yes, we track many, no we do not track all.
The point is if/when yellowstone erupts it will be many orders of magnitude greater then mount st. helens or anything else we have seen, and your comments made it clear you did not understand that, so I am glad you learned something.

In a few billion years the sun will become a red giant and engulf the earth. Lets all worry about that too.
>Although we do track many asteroids there are many we cant see at all, such as those from behind the sun or those with compositions that make them dark.
"behind the sun"? you do realize don't you that the earth rotates around the sun? We see everything in the solar system. Those dark rocks are visible in other wave lengths as well as by radio telescopes.
>The point is if/when yellowstone erupts it will be many orders of magnitude greater then mount st. Helens
You don't know when or if it will erupt, it may never. You also don't know how powerful it will be. By the time that is a remote possibility, we will have the capability of stopping it. 100 years ago we didn't have machines that could see into the earth. In another 100 years we will have it all figured out. In a few hundred thousand years we will just use the excess energy to power a few cities.
>I am glad you learned something.

Unfortunately you are wrong about our ability to detect all asteroids. We simply don't have total awareness yet and there are asteroids we are blind to that could Potentially be impactors. I wish it were otherwise and no doubt the technology will improve, hopefully in time.

Moonshoe said: There are at least thee global catastrophes that can happen at any moment and absolutely will happen eventually with one hundred percent certainty . These are not just possible, they are absolutely inevitable - These are not theories , these are guaranteed .
1. An earth facing coronal mass ejection/x class flare will cause an emp that will knock out the entire planets power Grid, causing a complete collapse of human civilization and causing numerous nuclear reactors to melt down.
2. An asteroid will impact the earth creating a global extinction event that will devestate life ln earth as happened in the time of the dinosaurs.
3. Yellowstone super volcano /caldera will erupt obliterating most of North america and coating the earth in volcanic dust that will make farming impossible even as it blocks out the sun creating a global winter and massive starvation.
I wish it was not true but all three of these things ARE going to happen , there is Zero debate on this.
As surely as 1+1=2, these three mass extinction events are on their way.
The question is not if, but when.
There is absolutely no guarantee that one or more of these won't happen in the near future. Hopefully we can all live out our lives before these events occur but it's entirely possible they could happen today, with no warning.
Be prepared.

1+1=.9999999999999999999
So there's that.

Good luck, and enjoy your blissful ignorance! I won't lie, I envy you your ability to believe well known scientific inevitability will never happen.
Remember, ignorance may be bliss, but knowledge is power.

So stock up on your supplies and get over it. No need to make this preparation shit your lifestyle or tell others how to prepare, unless of course you're going to own a company that sells this kind of fear and supplies to make it go away. You might actually do really good in that industry.

The odds of dying in a car accident are much greater than dying in a global catastrophe. I recommend bubble wrap.

Benzos or opiates ?

The opposite of ignorance it's knowledge, not fear. Applied knowledge is preleration.
Prelerations reduces fear not increases it. Preperation is building safety, security, resilience and capacity.

From imaginary dangers.
I new a guy who spend tens of thousands of dollars and hours prepping for y2k. Guess what, nothing happened.
I can understand having some supplies for a blizzard or earthquake, but to amass mass quantities of things for something that most likely won't happen is paranoid.

I believe having enough stock piled to survive for one year in the event of a huge catastrophe is a great goal, but that is an extensive and expensive prep. The government recommends 3 days, most say a few weeks at least is much better. Start with a small prep and extend It slowly and steadily as you can afford it.
Get the absolute basics first, it won't cost much. Maybe spend 100 dollars at a grocery store for a basic week long prep .

Sun King, calling Moonshoe a nutter is a flame. If you are against the idea thats fine, just don't attack the person.
Personally I think a 1 month bug-in prep is prudent and recommended in these dynamic times.
Even my government made TV ads recommending people to, in effect, prepare a bug out bag to tide you over for a few days.
It makes sense to take precautions to have what you need in case of calamity. It provides peace of mind.
Do I prepare for great natural disasters? Not specifically. I live above sea level, for one. What I prep for is the fact that everybody is lying to everybody, providing each other with inflated or mitigated numbers and reports about the status quo and we got people in power who think anything goes and if it fails we'll bail them out - so yeah I expect there to be a serious service interruption, a hiccup in the flow of society sometime soon, by societal systems partly failing.
a hyperinflation, bank holiday, cascade of banks going bankrupt, the EU falling apart, stuff like that.

No, it's Rad Away. It's what people in the wasteland do when their rad levels get to be too high.

The point I was making is that it's ridiculous to think you can keep yourself segregated from a disaster or from the other people in it. That radiation free smoked salmon won't keep me from being exposed in every other way possible by low dose radioation. I'd have to stop eating food from California altogether. I could probably get a fortune for it on ebay though if it is still good.

My point was a video game reference in which you have to scavenge food and water to live but it's all contaminated with radiation, and to get rid of the build up of radiation, you need to take a few of those. Or go pay a doctor to give you blurry vision for a second. Either or.

Just make sure your miso comes from japan or California, and your spirulina/chlorella comes from Hawaii. Might as well just eat the fish too.
