America: screwed for distastors

Man, I better pack my bags and move to Whales or something if it happens in my lifetime.

if that isn\'t bad enough.........

The scary thing is, is that it WILL happen.  There is no stopping it.


And scientists have found out that around 100,000 BC the population of humans were equal to present day population, but in 80,000-70,000 BC our population declined to 5,000 to 10,000 people.  During that time a Super Volcano erupted and made a collasal change in geography and life, and in Yellowstone its predicted in less than 1000 years another Super Volcano will explode equal to the previous one 80,000 years ago.

I\'ll probably just be vaporized, so it won\'t bother me.  I\'m ever the optimist

Eh.. by the time that sorta thing happens, we\'ll probably have technology capable of kicking mother nature\'s ass, and therefore saving all of mankind against puny volcanoes and tsunamis and whatnot.  If something catastrophic happens soon, I wouldn\'t worry too much;  It\'d suck, but at least we\'d all go out as one big happy family.  

Yeah, I\'m crazy.

i say stop recycling!

Mother nature throws earthquakes, tornadoes and poison monkeys at us, and when we start winning, she wants to stop the game.  Well not this time around Missy!

Woaahhh, lets not get all melodramatic here!!!
















Are you sure you want to move to Wales?

*If there are any Welsh people here, remember, that statement was a JOKE *

Where did you get this?  Sounds like BS.

1000 years from now?  Who cares, I\'ll be long dead anyway.


But it would suck for the people living then.  Such a shame.

The Discovery Channel, I forget how they found the bottleneck but I think they looked in human genes.

BTW Jaye_Bennington, my family roots are from there, my grandma is living in Wales right now.  But I don\'t even know how to spell the country

1000 years? Damn, I was planning on getting 1,200 years old. :crap:

We\'ll either be killed in a nuclear war or be on Mars or the moon living so what do I care. That and I\'ll be dead.
The tsunami that would hit the east coast will only be 70ft but it won\'t do much damage except on the coast. But it is only 70 ft. Swim for your life. By the time it reaches my house, it will be probably only 30 or non existant. The article said that the Tsunami probably wouldn\'t happen, just the worst case scenerio.
Yellow Stone will erupt. I heard this but it won\'t for a while. When the human population decreased, it wasn\'t proven that the volcano did this. It is also possible that humans had some sort of virus that also could have wiped out most of us. I wouldn\'t take any of the effects serious. It will f*** up our weather (for me atleast) but I doubt that Yellow Stone will be the end of the world. Anyway, I\'m staying away from California and moving somewhere else for a while

Super Volcano killing billions thousands of years ago?  What will these scientists come up with next?

True,  things are getting worst.  If they arent stopped,  mankind will destroy itself.

That is why scientists made the doomsday clock and are moving its hands toward midnight all the time.

Fossils, civilization records, dead bodies, physical defects like craters and possibly igneous rock in certain places. Don\'t be so ignorant.
