- rgautier, on 06/11/2009, -0/+19The question you should ask yourself is this: Is there anything I can do about it? If the answer is no, Do Not Panic - just go to the next news item.
- cmw72, on 06/11/2009, -0/+19"These enormous eruptions can spew enough sunlight-blocking ash into the atmosphere to cool the climate by several degrees Celsius."
...
Global Warming solved! - mattgilberg, on 06/11/2009, -1/+19Well if you think about it, if the volcano blows, the ice age it is going to cause will at least get rid of global warming.
- Trystian, on 06/11/2009, -0/+16Oh great, I was worried about living close to Yellowstone. Now I find out I'm halfway in between two supervolcanoes. I thought shoveling snow was bad, but Magma? I think I need to buy a better shovel.
- BobSagetFan, on 06/11/2009, -0/+15EVERYBODY PANIC
- inkswamp, on 06/11/2009, -1/+13We're out of mayo.
- jezsik, on 06/10/2009, -4/+15Great! Occupying two countries, the collapse of the financial and automobile industry, climate change and now the frickin' volcano is going to blow to hell. What next?
- gbudavid, on 06/10/2009, -4/+13I hope I get Moved First the 1980 one was an Expensive Pain in the PoPo
- eraser852, on 06/11/2009, -0/+9NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
- eraofk00l, on 06/11/2009, -2/+10its always the quiet bitches that get you
- TrevorBradley, on 06/11/2009, -0/+8If St. Helens is actually a super volcano, you may need to move to Europe. Or at least to the east coast.
I'm not joking. Yellowstone's supervolcano is powerful enough to take out most of the continent. And we're "due". - TrevorBradley, on 06/11/2009, -0/+7The associated mass human extinction should help a lot too...
- Shmebber, on 06/11/2009, -1/+7I'd kind of prefer to stay living in Seattle, believe it or not.
- TrevorBradley, on 06/11/2009, -0/+6Yea, if Yellowstones supervolcano goes off, it will only kill off 10% of the Earth's population. instead of New Zealand's 20%.
Toba killed of 60% of all humans 75,000 years ago.

Big Deal indeed. - zodo, on 06/11/2009, -0/+6Also a giant magma container: THE EARTH.
- GreatDrok, on 06/11/2009, -0/+5Big deal. New Zealand has had two super volcanoe eruptions (VE-8) on the North Island alone; Whakamaru and Taupo both of which were bigger than the last eruption of Yellowstone.
- johnhummel, on 06/11/2009, -1/+6So the bad news - we'd lose Seattle and a lot of Washington, which would make me very sad. And maybe a good chunk of the northwest. And maybe the fallout would screw up crops in America.
Good news, the dust in the air might help that whole global warming problem - for a few years, until the dust settled. - bluenile, on 06/10/2009, -0/+5in simple terms .sh domains might not be available in future.
- Jack8274, on 06/11/2009, -0/+5I don't have any idea other than maybe tubgirl.
Even urban dictionary has nothing on supervolcano or super volcano. You could be talking about the vape. - mikemehak, on 06/11/2009, -0/+5But do I need to buy bottled water?
- zigardne, on 06/11/2009, -1/+6Screw Pierce Brosnan, call Tommy Lee Jones!
- Khirzask, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4This would be oh so awesome to watch on TV.
That is, until I step outside my house and realize it's about to be buried under - 64bitllama, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4It would end human life, maybe; The world would carry on about its business as usual.
- Bloodweaver, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4Throughout the vast majority of human history there was no United States of America. The world will continue on with or without it. No one "fell off the globe" before there was America, and no one will after. It is such a small amount of time that Europeans have even been in America, when compared to entire history of human migration, that it ignorant to say the globe will fall apart without it. There are tens of thousands of illegals trying to get in, and already living within, the EU also. Europeans in America are the descendants of European ancestors looking to escape Europe for a better life also.
- Chirp08, on 06/11/2009, -1/+5Giving the mountain herpes isn't going to appease it.
- jezsik, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4I've been to Toba. It's awe inspiring to imagine that all that lake was a volcano.
- hakkola, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4Don't know how this started, but the major fault line is a transform fault which is moving parts of Cali north, not into the ocean. In tens of millions of years, Californians will be living in Canada. Though I'm not sure which fate is worse.
Just jokes, Canada is cool. - robbiedo, on 06/11/2009, -0/+4On a clear day at the top of the Portland West Hills, you can see all the local volcanoes, including the one with a Marine style haircut. Needless to say, it is a humbling experience.
I road my motorcycle to the St. Helens Observation point a couple of years back, and you can still see the signs of the devastation. - vatosplace, on 06/11/2009, -1/+5I say we offer Paris Hilton as a sacrifice, throw her into Mt St Helens.
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3Call someone! For god sakes, will someone please think of the children!
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -4/+7I just hope California falls into the ocean first.
- hiimkardinal, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3Actually you're probably nestled in snugly by three. Don't forget to leave out the Long Valley Caldera in California.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Valley_Caldera
Sleep tight. - bigplrbear, on 06/11/2009, -1/+4Great, not only is California going bankrupt, there's a god damn supervolcano ~1,000 miles north of us that might explode and take us with it. *sigh* what's next, Micheal Jackson goes straight?
- itsbob, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3***** happens
- woofers07, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3That and duct tape and you'll be fine.
- Elohir, on 06/11/2009, -0/+3Also known as an 'Ice Age'.
- jezsik, on 06/11/2009, -2/+5Wow, nice overreaction! You must rehearse a LOT!
- pygmy, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2mmmm... magma.
- rheaume, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2Phew! I thought you meant the super volcano was occupying two countries, that would put it in my backyard! Thank god its not, so you guys go ahead and enjoy the lavaflows, good thing you got an armed populace to fight it off! Shoot that lava! Shoot it!
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2Look into supervolcano vs. boring regular volcano.
- DrJG, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2Not to mention that unlike rising sea levels this will not affect mainly the poor.
- taikyokuken, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2We need them for the sacrifice you fool!
- jezsik, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2Dammit, you stumped me! I had to look that one up; .SH = Saint Helena
- mikemehak, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2luckily I purchased enough of that for Y2K to last me several life times or 2 seasons of Red Green
- inactive, on 06/11/2009, -0/+2I'm so sick of volcanoes. it's like bro, just chilllllllll out.
- NBCLocal, on 06/24/2009, -0/+1This is just a preview for the Dante's Peak remake
- greggerm, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1Do not taunt happy fun volcano.
- DrJG, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1More like a fast plane to get out.
- rheaume, on 06/11/2009, -0/+1it is? really?
