    It might be the solution to all our problems!

    It's pointless to worry about things you have no control over. The best you can do is stock up and that probably won't even help you much if you live within a couple of hundred miles of the thing.

    No, and the BBC documentary a few years back implied a pattern of past eruptions that does not, in fact, exist.

    I worry a lot more about religious fanatics with access to technology the didn't invent.

    I have no idea what program you were watching, but it does not match any of the data I have. Yellow Stone is a very dangerous area.

    "When will Yellowstone erupt again?

    We do not know. Future volcanic eruptions could occur within or near Yellowstone National Park for the simple reason that the area has a long volcanic history and because there is hot and molten rock, or magma, beneath the caldera now. Yellowstone is monitored for signs of volcanic activity by YVO scientists who detect earthquakes using seismographs and ground motion using GPS (Global Positioning System). YVO has not detected signs of activity that suggest an eruption is imminent.

    The crust of North America continuously moves southwest over the Yellowstone hotspot as the Earth's crust stretches above it, promoting the ascent of heat and molten rock. These processes produce basaltic magmas within the Earth's mantle, which rise into the overlying crust and continue to heat the rocks beneath Yellowstone, maintaining and possibly adding to the rhyolite magma in the crust above.

    Yellowstone's 2-million-year history of volcanism, the copious amount of heat that still flows from the ground, the frequent earthquakes, and the repeated uplift and subsidence of the caldera floor also testify to the continuity of magmatic proc...

    According to that BBC program, they reported that yellowstone is Rising close to FIVE feet every year. Not worrying about it, There is nothing we can do to prevent it, except where there is Tectonic action, we have to stop deep Drilling. To the Earth, it's like rubbing a scab.

    Yup, where I live will be one of the first places to go. But I do not think about it on a regular basis. But I am very aware of it.

    If I were the cause of it, or if there was something I could do about it, I might worry.
    I am not, and there is not, so I don't.

    If it goes, we're phucked. End of story. Why worry about something about which we can do nothing. Worry about what you can CHANGE if you must worry at all.

    Do you know there are people in parts of the world that wish it would erupt? Sad but true
