Yellowstone About to Kill Us?

slicer4ever said:
are you kidding me?, ash, and blocking out the sun is not going to kill us on the scale your imagining, the initial shock is ganna fuck alot of people over, no lie, but 3-6 months after the volcano we'll already be adjusting back to our lives, we'll get new equipment, new ways to survive, etc, this is the one reason we humans are still around, WE CAN ADAPT!, and at this point, governments are not going to be wiped out because of a sudden and realitivly brief chaotic event, we have locations for people to go to that are safe from NUCLEAR attacks, yet alone from a volcano going BOOM, the human race is ganna survive, so i'd lower that signifigant portion to about 30% will die in the long run, but to tell the truth, none of us will truely know until it blows

Are you kidding ME?

How do you expect the animals we eat to survive when the crops we use to feed them and ourselves stop growing due to lack of sunlight? This event is something that just doesn't touch humans. It effects the entire food chain and ecosystem of the entire planet. An event of this magnitude will ultimately trigger an ice age. And if you think we can survive on fish, think again. Once the phytoplankton can't photosynthesize, there goes the entire food chain and biggest oxygen producer on the planet.

Are you kidding me?!, THIS TYPE OF EVENT HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST AND TO GREATER MAGNITUDE THAN WHAT WE WELL SEE, SHIT SURVIVES THIS TYPE OF THING

You just don't get it. Do your homework
 
No ones doubting that life will not survive this. In terms of magnitude, it doesn't get any bigger than a super volcano letting loose.

The fact that you think this is something on par with a hurricane or massive tidal wave is what I'm talking about.

You said we'll be getting back to our routines in 3-6 months. That's laughable.

Here's part two of a transcript on the topic. Worth a read for sure if you have any interest on this topic.

i am no where near thinking this is on par with a hurricane or massive tidal wave(30% of 6 billion is still a huge number), but i'm also not thinking that it is going to be as severe as you guys are making it out to be, but again, as i said, we will have to wait until it erupts to see what truely happens, and yes that 3-6 months was far too low for the time until recover would be at a whole
