Yellowstone eruption imminent (http://www.politicalears.com/blog/yellowstone-animals-fleeing-park-supervolcano-eruption-imminent/)
Apparently, animals are fleeing the park trying to go everywhere but near the super-volcano. They interview an "expert" who happens to be a survivalist. And they conclude with this wonder:
QuoteTo be fair, the US Geological Service says that there is no immediate danger of massive eruption in Yellowstone.
So you must ask yourself. Do you trust the geologists or the animals' instincts?
Nicely done. Lots of people seems to believe it on FB. I wonder how much $$ in advertising they're gonna get.
Animals fleeing is normal.

I kinda figured that. If there are earthquakes, even small, in some places, the animal will tend to flee in opposite directions. And since there was a 4.8 earthquake recently and some other smaller ones, I don't see anything out of the ordinary.

Unless the animals are stopping to explain themselves I fail to see how we can conclude something that specific from their behavior.

I think Brain was making a comment on his social life. :secret:
Now if dolphins were leaving Yellowstone, then I'd be Worried. :bowler:
Yellowstone erupting is one thing that really freaks me out for some weird reason. Maybe because I am in the You Will Die But It Will Be Slow And Painful zone.

Hey, SBR, I like the photo in you avatar, though not the added text. :glare:

The animals.
Safe in Washington state from the ash fallout. Fuckers in tornado alley cant catch a break.

Besides all rifles and pistols I own, I can reload for. ;)
I think you underestimate the disruption in global food production, not to mention the supply chain being royally fucked up.

So much for the anti-gun nuts, eh. :lol:

Isn't that half the world?
From what I've heard a Yellowstone eruption would bring on a volcanic winter and seriously mess up the climate. Considering even the man made economic disaster we've just had was super painful... I dread nature actually taking a swing at us.
You'll end up trading your guns for food. And then all guns will be banned, forever.
Ed's plan on a super volcano eruption:
Loot
Execute Order 66
Eat my neighbors.
Die of eventual starvation
What is Order 66?
The Final Solution.

QuoteYellowstone Volcano Warning? It's Bunk, Park Officials Say
Yellowstone National Park is fighting viral rumors that the park's bison are fleeing an impending supervolcano eruption.
Officials told Reuters that they've been fielding dozens of calls and emails since a video of galloping bison went viral this week in the wake of an earthquake at Yellowstone. They said the video actually shows the animals running down a paved road that leads deeper into the park.
"It was a springlike day, and they were frisky. Contrary to online reports, it's a natural occurrence and not the end of the world," park spokeswoman Amy Bartlett said.
The commentary accompanying the YouTube video, which has attracted 1.4 million views, suggested that the bison somehow might be sensing the imminent eruption of an ancient dormant supervolcano that lies beneath the park in Wyoming.
The video was posted back on March 20, but Sunday's Yellowstone earthquake added to the viral buzz.
Geologists said the magnitude-4.8 tremor caused no injuries or damage, and did not make any noticeable alterations to the landscape. Though benign by seismic standards, it was the largest to rattle Yellowstone since a 4.8 quake in February 1980. The epicenter was near an area of ground uplift tied to the upward movement of molten rock in the supervolcano, whose mouth, or caldera, is 50 miles long and 30 miles wide (80 by 50 kilometers).
Neither the quake nor the uplift suggest an eruption sooner than tens of thousands of years from now, said Peter Cervelli, associate director for science and technology at the U.S. Geological Survey's Volcano Science Center in California.
I fucking dare those scienticians to say the same thing in Italy.
