No need to worry about AGW, Yellowstone is about to Blow!!!!!!

Who was the poster again from the AGW crowd on here who said the earth was stable ?

Hunters Discover Massive “Gash” in Earth 150 Miles from Yellowstone Caldera

Hunters chasing after the antelope in Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains have come across something quite unexpected: a crack in the earth about 700 yards long and 50 yards wide. The natural phenomenon was first recorded by Randy Becker and then later shared online by SNS Outfitters, an antelope hunting guide service, where the pictures soon started a buzz.

“While hunting this past weekend in the Bighorns, we came across an awesome example of how our earth is not as stable as you might think. Awesome forces at work here to move this much dirt!!”

The same things that cause sink holes caused this.

I live within 250 miles of that super volcano and I have many friends in USGS and the Volcano hazards program. This event is nothing more than and underground river washing out a section of earth and it collapsing in onto itself.

One of the major late warning signs of an impending eruption is the evacuation of the water tables in the near vicinity of an active volcano. It has been recorded and seen at Mt St Helen's and many other sites around the world. This, according to USGS, is not happening and the water table in and near Yellowstone appears to be in normal ranges. They monitor this very closely for obvious reasons.

This is simply a natural event that does not appear to be linked to Yellowstone in any way. With the recent dry cycle, a receding water table in general would cause an uptick in these types of events. This whole area has seen these before and will in the future.

The last major scare at Yellowstone was the 2009-2010 event of ground rise accompanied with very active seismic events.

There was a lot of activity during and after that one. This is when we learned the magma chamber was 4X what we thought it was..

There's more to Yellowstone National Park than meets the eye. Much more, as it turns out.

You might already know that a supervolcano dominates the famous park that is situated on land in Wyoming and Montana. A shallow subsurface magma chamber has long been known.

But now a second, much larger reservoir of partially molten rock has been discovered by researchers at the University of Utah. There's enough magma inside, they say, to fill the Grand Canyon more than 11 times.

If and when it decides to blow, the US as we know it, wont be..

A moderate eruption (VEI-8) would result in this kind of ash spread..

As for the CAGW bull, that will no longer be of any concern as YS would emit 100X what man has put into the air during his total existence along with the particulate matter that would cause an ice age to begin.. All in all, A YS eruption would be a near ELE event... just depends on how we prepared for extream cold. The Ice age would be global and no one will be able to hide from it.

LOL. Oh well, yes, Yellowstone will blow in the near future. Certainly within the next 50,000 years. We are talking geology.

No, we don't have a good handle on how to predict when a caldera type volcano will blow. There has not been such in the brief period we have had scientific instruments. In fact, Mt. St. Helens was the first volcano that we actually were able to follow the eruption from preliminary signals to completion. And that saved thousands of lives when Pinotubo started acting up.

In the meantime, we have a problem in our near future. Like at present and in the next few centuries. Deny all you want, the signals are clear, and the majority of scientists dealing with the problem are stating unequivocally that we are headed for some rough times.

Your so certain of your "consensus" that you fail even basic science... You have yet to prove that CO2 will do anything as the empirical evidence shows you wrong. But hey, failed models (broken toys) is all you have...

For someone who professes they are studying geology your having a hard time with basics..

some signals are clear......others arent. Like Dr Curry says, "There is much to be learned".Plus, the whole screwing around with the data stuff needs to be reigned in.........I mean.............WTF?

Man dies in Yellowstone hot spring...

Yellowstone National Park: Man dies after falling into hot spring
Wed, 08 Jun 2016 - Officials with Yellowstone National Park say a man died after falling into a hot spring, having wandered away from a path.

Colin Nathaniel Scott, 23, fell into the spring in the Norris Geyser Basin area of the park in north-west Wyoming. Authorities are now trying to retrieve Mr Scott's body from the spring but have so far been unable to reach it. Springs in that part of the park, where boiling water runs under thin rock, can result in temperatures of up to 199C. "It's very fragile rock and can be thin as a skiff of ice," said park spokeswoman Charissa Reid.

Park officials say Mr Scott and his sister had strayed some 200 metres (656ft) from a designated walkway. They recommend visitors do not leave trails in hydrothermal areas or approach wildlife. On Saturday, a 13-year-old boy suffered burns after his father, who was carrying him, slipped into another hot spring in the park. The pair had also reportedly left a path.

Last month, a Canadian tourist put a bison calf into his car boot in Yellowstone as he was worried it looked cold. The bison was then rejected by its herd, leading it to be put down.

Boiling acidic water will do that, I suppose.
