Anyone watch this last night on BBC ?
Man when that Yellowstone park decides to go ...we may as well pack up and start burying ourselves !
If the Volcano doesn't get us the Tsunami will.....and it could happen at any moment.Between this and the expected Rock Slide on Gran Canaria which will cause 4-500 foot high Tsunami's i think we're well buggered.
The 2nd part is on tonight ...if this hasn'e aired in the US yet dont worry it will soon.Watch out for it ......If you dare
BTW......For those who dont know....The crater is a hunderd miles wide,All of Yellowstone park sits inside it....So American Friends...probably best avoided for your Holidays

I saw a show about that on Discovery Channel once. It scared the pants off of me. It was very interesting, they showed how the land is shifting, and water in the park is actually being displaced because of it. The land has shifted that much. It is truly a frightening concept, probably because they said it could go tomorrow, or hundreds of thousands of years from now. They just don't know.

Not true, most scientists believe that it will not happen at all. By the way, most experts say that the eurpution tank is as large as Toyko, the worlds largest city.

it is scary really
like you said what with that and the gran canaria slide, also if the indian plate moves again and causes another tsunami, the ice caps are melting at such a rate we are all going to drown before long, and they also recon when the maldives finally sink (within the next 50 years or so) it will cause a wave like the tsnami of boxing day.
we are all dommed really!

i saw it as well, it was very fascinating but they were lucky that the whole vulcano didnt blow although it still did a lot of damage.
new ice age!
i wonder if it will really happen i read somewhere that they have noticed that the water temperature is rising and that the ground is rising up as well.

I read a lot about Yellowstone as I am just downwind of it. Any way, I saw a show that included some geology in Iowa that seemed to prove that yellowstone erupted about 70,000 yrs ago and is cited as the reason for the massive population bottleneck that reduced the world population to 2,000 or 20,000 people. So, if YS erupted 70,000 yrs ago I gues we are safe, maybe. Anyway recent activity is a better indicator of portending epruption than time span. Unfortunately recent activity says we should worry. As to the population bottleneck, I don't think that all the surviving population was in Africa as the fellow in Nat'l Geo show seemed to think. If YS erupted and caused a massive continental plate shift as is speculated, then we can expect that the survival rate was greater than even 20,000 and more widespread as land masses were moved out of harm's way. Just a thought but hey, my degree is in Business and Economics.

Yep, if the cycle's correct (that is, not hundreds of thousands but more to tens of thousands of years) we're a little overdue. Some scientists even said it won't happen at all, in my opinion they could just be putting this all aside as usual again because it's too worrying. But just so you guys know, recently almost 1500++ volcanoes have been active and showing signs of eruption simultaneously, all around the world, unprecedented since thousands of years ago. Moreoever, many underwater volcanoes are increasing its activities. Now geologists and volcanologists are afraid of a mega-volcanic eruption. I heard this one has a.....if I'm not mistaken, 74,000 year cycle? If true, it'll be due this coming 2012.
Who knows what's going to happen, but I suggest we look at the activities of our Sun, in which also has recently showed signs unseen since records began, or thousands of years ago....maybe even longer. Coupled with the mysterious "booms" all around the world and the recent starquake....hmm, I smell something very, very fishy here.
I have another opinion in which I think is also contributing towards all these anomalies, but I need more info.

Wow, everything seems to be going down in 2012. And we have only been keeping records of the sun for about the past 100 years, so we don't really know what goes on with it.

Judgement day.
Seriously, though, I remember reading about this stuff on some website. If it were to go, things would be
bad (note the emphasis), but there is an observatory set up to monitor the park. Any major raises in activity would be caught (hopefully), and people would be evacuated. Unfortunately, the effects of the eruption would extend for miles upon miles, meaning that a huge chunk of the worlds population would be affected. Still, there would be at least some effort to limit deaths related to the eruption.
That is, unless one geologist catches a major change in the volcano's activity, heads off to his bosses to inform them; they ignore him, thinking he's a paranoid douche. He prances off to the white house to inform the president (that's the way it HAS to go. Always.), and once again gets rejected. Suddenly, the lightning begins. Instance hollywood blockbuster.

They said on the thing afterwards it's more likely that it won't happen in our lifetime, but of course, they can't be sure!
The signs point towards it, but we must remember that Yellowstone is a very volcanic area anyway, and all these things have happened over a long period of time, and go away again. Let's just hope for the best!

Would have to be a party to end all parties, quite literally
But it is highly doubtful that it will happen in our lifetime thought, and as for the 2012 business, every year someome somewhere says something about the world ending at some particular point.. Take the millenium an the Millenium Bug.. just chill out an live your life an if it happens, it happens, nothing anyone can do to stop it anyhow (thats my opinion anyway)
But they most likely will make a movie of it sometime soon, hollywood loves a big disaster movie and i cant think of a bigger subject matter for a disaster

But since then upon scowering the interweb it has come up time and time again. I dont know what to believe on that one, like most of the gibberish I read. What is true?

It would basically kill all Americans, and then all the dust and suchlike would go up into the atmosphere and cause a nuclear winter all over the world. Very, very chilly.
There'll be no-where to hide, and it will last for YEARS. It's kind of like an asteroid hitting the Earth, but obviously different in where it comes from.
But I wouldn't worry about it. It's unlikely it will happen in our lifetime. And if it does, it does.

if humans survived before im pretty sure we will again, just most of the worlds population will die off... cause if it went down to 2,000 before then the population these days might go down to the hundred thousands or millions... maybe even higher, we wont know for a fact till the damn mountain blows

I'm assuming this would be the appropriate thread for this...
I'm not sure if any of you have been watching T.V. lately, but my house had on the Science Channel today and it ran shows about the Yellow-Stone Park Volcano today all day long. In the show it talked about the most resent activity it had. Scientists are predicting for it to possibly erupt in years to come. It's had a lot of evidence of resent activity which is why they had ran the specials on this channel.
In Yellow-Stone Park is a Super Volcano, not sure if any of you knew that or not but could you imagine this thing blowing up right now? Think about the planetary devastation it would cause. It's even said in the bible as a reference this might be possible, in the many of skepticle prophecies.
It's something to think about...

Wasn't there a thread somewhere on here about a month ago that said that we were overdue for our 'mass extinction'?
Well, they've been coming up with all of these events that could happen and destroy a large portion of the population. Perhaps they will all happen at approximately the same time, contributing to our mass extinction.
Just a stupid theory over here, go ahead and ignore me.

no i think u got a point there... one mass destruction could cause or trigger more mass destructions concluding to a extinction.. but w.e happens i dont think all human life will go extinct, i think some stragglers will survive and eventually re populate.. like look at the Ceolocanth... it managed to go threw most of the harsh mass extinctions and destructions that ever happened in history so i think we will atleast have some stragglers
AnimangaBloodThorn
Apr 14 2005, 07:10 PM
There's so many humans in the world that I have no doubt that some will make it through a mass extinction, if we have one. However, I seriously think that the world would change drastically after this. Hopefully, the stragglers would put their heads together and begin to adapt so that they live long enough to repopulate. 
Sorry, I've seen too many movies where people are too busy arguing rather than finding solutions. Anyway, the world has changed so much in the past decade. There have been more tornados in my area in the past year than the past centry. There are threats of more tsunamis, as well as the ice caps melting. Earthquakes are hitting California so hard that it will eventually rip apart from the US. Volcanos are becoming more active. The weather is changing slightly. Those are only a few examples of some things in my country and other well known things.
I'm not sure of what is going on in other countries though...
That mass extinction thing seems to already be beginning, if you think about it. Everything is changing. Now, I'm not saying that it has begun, or that it ever will begin, but it is something freaky to think about, isn't it?
