I recently watched a 2 hour documentrary on Yellowstone National Park in the midwest US. As of 2014, scientists have revised their estimate of 2075 by about -25 years, to bring the expected eruption to about 2050. In many ways it has been difficult to tell if Yellowstone is a threat because multiple indicators fluctuated. That changed in 2014 with the defacto=standard release of gases that indicate magma is nearing the surface, indicating that an actual erruption is much closer at hand, and not purely theoretical in any event. Furthermore, the Whitehouse has restricted information on Earthquakes and Gas Emissions by order to the USGS.
This is not a joke. This is very real, and the threat to mankind is real. Expected lifespan immediately following eruption is 5-7 minutes, because the atmosphere will be so poisoned, life will die. This supercedes the solar blackout, material fallout, and all other aspects.
Does anybody have a bonafide, feasible plan, or is this just 'it'? I can see a way to make a shelter for a few people that would last for some time, given several million dollars- you have to have food, air, water, medical, farming (animal storage/care)--- and this must withstand several initial years, let alone the longer period afterwards for revegetation, and any chance of mammalian life to return beyond what you've gathered into the facility.
Anyone's thoughts?
*I meant grab a 'beer', not a 'bear'-- but will it matter?
