Henceforth, my wife's nickname shall be "Yellowstone".

Probably not, but fracking enhances the possibility of a cataclysmic volcanic eruption.
Definitely.
We also have too much cattle and grow too much corn. It's weighing down the earth's crust and increases the likelihood that the pressure will make the volcanoes explode.

Pretty sure I read the same article in the August 1929 Time magazine.
Maybe it was July.

SCIENTISTS have warned the world is in "volcano season" and there is up to a 10% chance of an eruption soon killing millions of people and devastating the planet.
Yellowstone could do this???? No way..........

The volcano erupts with a near-clockwork cycle of every 600,000 years. The last eruption was more than 640,000 years ago- we are overdue for annihilation.
I wouldn't call it overdue considering that it's "clockwork" cycle is every 600,000-800,000 years.

Three extremely large explosive eruptions have occurred at Yellowstone in the past 2.1 million years with a recurrence interval of about 600,000 to 800,000 years. More frequent eruptions of basalt and rhyolite lava flows have occurred before and after the large caldera-forming events. For example, scientists have identified at least 27 different rhyolite lava flows that erupted after the most recent caldera eruptions, about 640,000 years ago, from vents inside the caldera. The most recent was about 70,000 years ago. Many of these eruptions were separated in time by several tens of thousands of years. Because the evidence of earlier eruptions may have been either buried or destroyed, we do not really know how often the volcano has actually erupted.

Trump is on it. We are going to build a pipeline to divert the magma to the border, where they are currently building forms. When the sucker blows...boom!: Free Wall.

Not really. The last three eruptions were 2.1 million, 1.3 million and 630,000 years ago. And when you're talking geology "near" has a whole different meaning to what we think of "near" being. Saying an eruption is "near" in geological terms means that it will probably happen within the next 100,000 years or so. The people who crossed the land bridge from Asia into North America 10-15,000 years ago had roughly the same probability of it happening in their lifetimes as anyone alive today does.

This thread involves volcanoes, not zombies.

If we suspected a volcano of being near eruption, why not attempt to use our drilling technology to alleviate the pressure gradually?

It seems like the best reaction to this possible catastrophe is the same for all others: enough cash to get somewhere "safe" and weaponry to defend yourself. In this case you'd have to relocate to someplace not as affected by the ash and where you'd have decent food sources.

I tried this once when I had diarrhea
It just sprayed out sideways and made a bigger mess on my couch.

This.
On a scale of 1-10 of being concerned, I'm about a 1

Your quote, along with your name, made me laugh audibly at my computer, which i very rarely do. Well done. Farts and Poop will always be funny.

No but it looks like a great way for progs to drum up more climate change support and tax us for our energy use.

Why worry about something
1. you can't control
2. Will kill us all anyway

i've wondered if there is any way to possibly (now or in the future) do this
