Yellowstone earthquakes and the interesting back story (1 Viewer)

[Linda]

The USGS reported a swarm of earthquakes at Yellowstone last Friday. We all know it is overdue for an eruption, but the $64,000 question is when. As I read this story on Zero Hedge, I learned something new. In 2014, the US government entered into billion dollar contracts with other countries to take in displaced people in the event of an eruption. So, you all in Australia, Brazil, and Argentina could see an influx of US citizens if Yellowstone blows.

The U.S. plan for relocation was formulated after a recent scientific analysis of the park revealed that Yellowstone’s supervolcano has the potential to violently erupt within the next 10-years as noted by others including the famous astrophysicist Michio Kaku.

I wanted to find more about this agreement, but kept seeing the same story over and over again. (That in itself was interesting.) Do any of you all know more about this agreement. I'm just curious about the particulars.

We've got room here. Maybe not the jobs, but we do have the room!

Currently I'm traveling but when I get back I want to research more into Yellow Stone.
When we had the solar eclipse last week 4 of us decided to us the event as a marker and OBE to the next 4 eclipses and look at what was happening then. There of course are many eclipses so we chose to use this one specifically which occurs every appox 100 year. So, if we did it right we jump 400 years total stopping every 100 years. Around 300 years from now we started seeing interesting things, glaciation moving downward from Canada and some devastation in the West Coast - looked like a combination of dust and fire. We also saw mankind was building a massive ringed spaceport in orbit and a space 'hotel' was being completed by a private individual.
On the 400 year jump the space port was completed, the East coast was evacuated, the glaciers were getting close to Florida, many people had moved onto cargo ships which were basically floating islands, and in the West the Earth was extremely disturbed by extensive erosion, like something had flowed through it leaving a deep wide trench like the Grand Canyon, though wider and not nearly as deep.
After we returned we spent sometime sketching up what we'd each seen and then debriefed it. The only thing we could come up with for the land devastation in the West was possibly Yellow Stone erupting.
This makes me curios to study it more and I'm interested in any evacuation agreements we have with other countries, or plans for a massive spaceport in orbit.

Well, that was quite a trip. I think several people have seen Yellowstone erupting in the future. Right now, there are quite a few smaller earthquakes happening in that region. Good ole NASA is trying to get approval for a crazy scheme of drilling into the magma chamber and pumping in water to cool it. Geologists are greatly opposed, as the chances of causing an eruption are high.

There are people who are taking volunteers to participate in funding and population of privately constructed spaceship, but I've not heard anything about it in a long time. I think there may be a post about it here.

Looking forward to reading more about your trip.

This is interesting. I have read that a mini-ice age is actually closer than higher temperatures (there are different opinions if it relates to a phase tied to global warming).

Geologists are greatly opposed, as the chances of causing an eruption are high.

Plus quakes and both combined.

As I recall there were actually multiple space habitats, most looked privately built holding a few thousand to a couple hundred 1000 people, but one was giant, holding maybe a million or more - it would have taken a government to build it most likely. When I think of all the changes in my life and all the changes in the life of a neighbor who in his life had seen in go from horse and buggy to car and telegraph and Pony Express to telephone and postal trucks it's not hard to imagine that we could have a massive inhabited spaceport and many smaller corporate and privately owned space habitations in 400 years. I think I heard there's some billionaire building a space hotel currently.

I heard the plan about drilling into the magma pocket....what could go wrong? *rolls eyes*

Apparently Earth gets really warm just before the Ice Age returns. We're in an interglacial period currently, a spell when the ice retreats. I heard a while back that the reason for all the chemtrails was trying to put enough particulates in the air to cause a greenhouse effect and warm the atmosphere thus delaying the onset of the Ice Age. No idea if this is true I think it was channeled info from Kyron. However impending Ice Age and the glaciers growing and this being a interglacial period was being taught in Universities around the 1990's. The Global warming fad came right after that which was fairly surprising to a lot of students who'd been taught we were in the last bit of a warming trend between Ice Ages. lol

What the heck does NASA have to do with Yellowstone????? It's bad enough that they believe themselves to be in charge of space. Even a middle-schooler knows that heat and water create steam. With that comes along pressure. Seems to me that adding water will only piss off a super-volcano--and would certainly cause problems!
