GET THIS! I live near Smoky Mountains, Tennessee, my office faces South towards the Smokies and fronts the lake that runs thru Knoxville... The sky is hazy orangy today... NOT NORMAL... All morning, with this sky, I am thinking this is from the Canadian wildfires... Now just imagine if a supervolcano erupts and covers the whole earth with smoke, no wonder the dinosaurs went extinct... https://www.nytimes.com/1985/10/04/us/dinosaurs-died-after-a-fire-swept-earth-scientists-say.html and may the Yellowstone Supervolcano stay asleep for as long as possible... (which is historically overdue for a big eruption.) Quote How would Yellowstone eruption affect the world? Ecosystem destruction - Whole ecosystems would be destroyed. Crops would be destroyed due to ash fall and animals would die due to respiratory problems and starvation. Long term survival – If a global ice age was triggered due to the supervolcanic eruption, plants and animals would die quickly. How much damage would the Yellowstone supervolcano do? The model shows that the fallout from a Yellowstone super-eruption could affect three quarters of the US. The greatest danger would be within 1,000 km of the blast where 90 per cent of people could be killed. Large numbers of people would die across the country – inhaled ash forms a cement-like mixture in human lungs. What supervolcano could wipe out us? Yellowstone erupts roughly every 600,000 years, and it's about 600,000 years since it last exploded. An eruption at Yellowstone National Park could lead to the end of human civilisation.Oct 6, 2018 major-mark63 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
