Iceland's eruptions could have global consequences

Scary, right now all UK flights have been cancelled until Saturday and there are reports that things will intensify.

With everything that's happened already this year, I can't believe it's only April.

Do you think things will get worse?

Well you know 2012 and all, just two years, gotta get ready for us all to burn muahahahahaahaha *ahem*

I mean no everything will be fine :D

I'm not worried about any apocalyptic happenings. Why, you may wonder? Everyone knows that the sure sign of the apocalypse is zombies. Until they strike we're fine.spazzx625

What if we are zombies and we dont even know it? =O

I watched a show about Yellow Stone the other day. There is a giant magma chamber under there that is 45 miles wide and 410 miles deep. The thing is, it is overdue for an eruption.

I think it'd be an epic eruption

If that's true then Yellowstone would of also erupted, and that hasn't happened for 640,000 years. It's way overdue for an eruption. Besides, the Mayans didn't predict anything 200 years ago, their prediction is for December 2012.

What if the prediction of 2012 was 200 years ago and it is actualy 2210 right now? What if its all a conspiracy what if the human race nearly died 200 years ago but the goverment created a virtual world for us humans to live in, we live in a world that died hundreds of years ago, we dont really exist and everything is a lie....

Or that could be the imaginary acid I just decided not to take.

The simulation they ran of previous Yellowstone eruptions based on where ash fell shows that 90% of the US would be covered in it if I remember right.

[QUOTE="MushroomWig"] It would be crazy if Yellowstone erupted, it would effect 9/10 of the worlds population apparently and it would basically destroy the United States.MushroomWig

So its actualy going to someday?

Oh yeah, for sure. They're able to track several eruptions from Yellowstone already, it's just a matter of time. In the video I was watching they were doing crazy tests that basically showed the land there is rising up a few inches each year as the magma chamber below fills. The earthquakes underground have also picked up in frequency.

Oh God, don't tell me volcano eruptions are now the new earthquakes. :lol:

What if there is a large enough volcano eruption that sends so much ash into the atmosphere it blocks the sun for like 1-2 years do you think us humans will survive? conistant

if the citizens of san fransisco and washington state survive then so can the rest of us.

I can't believe the UK is actually mad at us because of this. Someone even made a joke announcement on the radio saying that it's all our fault and that we made the eruptions happen using soap and that if the UK don't drop this ridiculous IceSave thing then we permanently disable their flight abilities. I lol'd at it, but it's sort of true because an an eruption under one of our glaciers is not exactly influenced by us.

I was scared crapless when I heard we were overdue for one. I also believe that the last time a super-volcano like Yellowstone erupted, there were only 10,000 reproducing humans left.

The last supervolcano eruption was in 1815.

I highly doubt there were only ten thousand people in 1815.

The really big eruptions, the ones that cause the most damage, haven't happened for 27,000 years. Back when there weren't very many humans around anyway.

yes, things will get worse. Soon, a gigantic volcano will engulf the western half of the USA and then the global economy will collapse sending us all into anarchy and chaos.

Ambrose has said early humans were perhaps pushed to the edge of extinction after the Toba eruption -- around the same time folks got serious about art and tool making. Perhaps only a few thousand survived. Humans today would all be descended from these few, and in terms of the genetic code, not a whole lot would change in 74,000 years

I got a good laugh out of some apocalyptic talkshows this afternoon. They managed to scare my grandma with their acid rain and toxic clouds bull****:lol:

Toba wasn't the last supereruption, and there weren't very many people around 74,000 years ago anyway, so of course only a few thousand or so would be left.

I meant the Toba eruption anyway. While there may have been little people left back then, just imagine what would happen to a world of 6.5 billion and one that also relies heavily on technology. It would not be good although I was wrong about the last eruption, thanks for clearing that up for me.
