What if this went boom?

Good thing i'm all the way on the other side of the U.S.!

Guys,you`ll be REALLY love up!

And you`d loose Utah,so all the poor mormons.

The Volcano is miles wide.

Will I be able to hear it from Virginia?

^yep

Would it blow everyone's eardrums in America?

No. Please spot asking stupid questions.

Ummm...

Florida's the Sunshine State.

iz in so cali not dat efected but ash will be in teh air meking it hard teh breath

the map isn't right, in reality the disaster/death zone wouldn't spread that far west but it would spread all the way east to the Mississippi river because of wind patterns.

As I said, there will be global starvation. It doesn't matter where you are, unless it's a self-sustaining space colony, you will be in trouble if this goes off within your lifetime.

One thing that was not mentioned in the video is something I think is very possible....mega quakes across the country and possibly global volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. An explosion like that could easily activate all fault systems, minor and major, IE San Andreas, which separates the pacific plate and american tectonic plates and has many smaller fault systems forking off of it that have only recently become active. Easter 2010 was a huge reminder of that.

^you just reminded me of "The Big One" earthquake that is supposed to happen on the San Andreas sometime soon. It is supposed to be about a 9 - 9.5 on the Richter Scale. I watched a show on it in Science in 6th grade. It was really cool. i also saw one about if this Yellowstone volcano we are talking about gos off.

I personally think global warming is too over-hyped. Yeah, we are putting pallution in the air, but the main reason our earth is heating up is because the magnetic poles are switching sides. The poles are always moving, and now north is heading south, and south is heading north. the changing of the poles changes the weather and other factors in our environment. So, yeah.

And Omnigeek, lol i was joking. If this were to happen, with the Yellowstone thing, i would be probably killed by ash pollution.

As far as the earthquake thing goes, that is just a scare mongering story fabricated for entertainment. Nobody knows poop about when that is going to occur, and they don't even have technology old enough to give you the intervals of time they're predicting. Bottom line is that it's a curved strike slip fault and those of you that have done work before know it's really goddamned hard to grind two things past each other with uneven curves and all of that good stuff. The USA has been dumping buckets of money into seismology for decades and it hasn't done diddley squat for prediction.

Same principle applies to Haiti. They will have another earthquake like that (it wasn't that strong honestly) and it looks like they're trying the "jesus will protect us" method again, and you've all seen how well that method worked via television.

Congrats. The data doesn't agree with your position. Perhaps that's because data doesn't have "faith" or any of that nonsense attached to it. poop rolls downhill. You have faith it will roll downhill, it just love does it. Why mouth breathing political pundits seem to think otherwise is beyond me.

Climate change is a very complex issue that was politicized by morons who have no understanding of how any of it works. I don't study weather, but love damn it I'm working under a damn good glaciologist.

When you break your leg, you go to a doctor (the "leg expert"). You don't turn on CNN to watch some political correspondent dipshits, decide doctors are making it up, and then go to the local 7-11 to get your leg checked out. You go to the expert, the doctor. Why not trust the glaciologists/meteorologists/everyone else who are the experts?

Additionally:
IT'S CALLED CLIMATE CHANGE

Not all areas of the earth are going to spontaneously warm. Weather doesn't work that way.

If climate change is not caused by a human influence we should still stop dumping so much CO2 into the air because it's dissolving into bodies of water and dicking with the pH. Eventually only jellyfish will be able to survive due to the acidity, so the "I don't think humans are doing it and we shouldn't give a rats ass" argument is completely love stupid and anyone that continues down that road has a hell of a pair of blinders on. Any idiot can demonstrate this by dumping some acidic crap into a coral reef aquarium, dipping the magical coloring changing pH stripes until they're raised a few notches, and then marvel at everything totally dying off.

I honestly would like to know if you have a learning disability, was dropped as an infant, etc, because I won't bother anymore if any of those are the case. Seriously.

That is exactly what makes a mega quake possible, anyone who went to school in CA knows about that all too well. I spent half my school career learning all about plate tectonics and earth crust displacement. The stress of the two plates grinding together is what causes massive earthquakes. The Easter quake in the Imperial Valley last year was very deep in the earths crust and sent shockwaves as far north as the san francisco bay area(about 600 miles away). Not to mention that the San Andreas fault is what shaped the coachella valley, imperial valley, cajon pass, and the coastal range that includes big bear west to thousand oaks and all the way up to San Francisco.

im just lucky pyroclastic flows wont get this far. most of the death toll will be the pyroclastic flows on the towns and cities close the park itself. which is why im glad i live on the east coast

^they do actually say that places as far east as DC and Baltimore could have almost a foot of ash and crap on the ground
That sucks for me, because I live in WV [flush]

I like how all Americans think that America = The Earth , the news reporter certainly does

Way to be ignorant and generalize us all as thinking the US is overly important.

I didn't see the clip since I'm at work, but if a super volcano erupts it will be the end of man kind. Not just the US.

yeah i know that im talking, and it really doesnt take that much ash to collapse a roof, i think it only takes one centimeter of wet ash to to that

WE SHOULD ALL MAKE FALLOUT SHELTERS!

[Coasterkidmwm]

You go ahead and do that.

Na, I rather waste my time doing something else.

Yay,Fallout Funtime!

Will it affect florida? Forida Sunshine state? LOL. It rains a lot there and gets dan cold in winter. Imagine 20 degrees at disney world-Ive been thru it! And ash will make it colder and no orange juice for years!

Yes, of course it will affect Florida. Mickey Mouse does not have immunity from the rest of the country, Florida is still one of the 48 contiguous states...wait....why am I even taking the time to respond to such a ridiculous statament. [stoning]
