NASA's incredible plan to save humanity from Yellowstone supervolcano: 'Risky' plan to COOL magma by pumping in water...

NASA's incredible plan to save humanity from Yellowstone supervolcano: 'Risky' plan to COOL magma by pumping in water (but it could trigger an eruption instead of preventing one)
A NASA scientist has spoken out about the true threat of supervolcanoes and the risky methods that could be used to prevent a devastating eruption.
Brian Wilcox, a former member of the NASA Advisory Council on Planetary Defense, shared a report on the natural hazard that hadn't been seen outside of the agency until now.
He spoke of the true devastation that could come from an eruption, and the 'risky' methods that the agency is considering for preventing one - including approaches that could potentially go array and set off a supervolcano accidentally.
One such plan would involve drilling into the bottom of the Yellowstone volcano, using high pressure water to release heat from the magma chamber.
'I was a member of the NASA Advisory Council on Planetary Defense which studied ways for NASA to defend the planet from asteroids and comets,' Brian Wilcox, now at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) at the California Institute of Technology, told BBC.
'I came to the conclusion during that study that the supervolcano threat is substantially greater than the asteroid or comet threat.'
Earth has around 20 known supervolcanoes, which are simply unusually large volcanoes that have the potential to produce an eruption with major effects on the global climate and ecosystem.
A supervolcanic eruption could be a single short-term event or a long-term massive lava flow lasting up to millions of years.
Major eruptions occur every 100,000 years, with the last major known one being in New Zealand 26,500 years ago.
Such an eruption today could cause a prolonged nuclear winter and global starvation - the United Nations estimated that food reserves worldwide would only enable humans to survive for 74 days.
NASA is weighing methods to prevent a supervolcanic eruption, but the proposed tactics would be difficult to convince politicians of and are extremely risky - some could even wind up accidentally triggering the eruption they are trying to prevent.
One of the most dangerous supervolcanoes is beneath Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, where pressure is building in an enormous magma chamber, causing hotspots.

nasa can't even do what they're supposed to be doing (going to space) how are we supposed to take anything they say seriously?

OP's INCREDIBLY PROLAPSED AND GAPING ARSEHOLE ATTEMPTING TO SLIDE THE BOARD WITH WHIMSICAL /x/ BULLSHIT

Ah, so here's the cover story for the events that are probably going to transpire in September, at the 23rd, if I recall correctly.

Why would NASA have anything to do with this?
They're a space agency.

They can't afford their own rockets anymore so they're trying to use Yellowstone as one under the guise of diffusing it instead. It's a perfect plan tbh don't see the issue there

NASA HAS BEEN DROWNED IN RACIAL QUOTAS FOR DECADES, THE ERUPTION IS IMMINENT, ALL WYOMINGFAGS GET OUT NOW

Oy vey yah goy bastid, cantcha see we hafta stop global wamming and shut down the valcano? Yah don't hafta warry about space exploration goy, just give more shekels to spacex and voygen galactic if yah want extra tarrestrial explaration.

Drilling into the chamber may work, like lancing a boil… But pumping in water would trigger a fucking eruption!

The volcano will cool us off. Pop the fucking cork.

This will definitely cause an eruption.
The water will expand and become steam, and with crack all the bedrock keeping the magma down. It's basically a fracking plan.

are they actually fucking doing this?

It's a fracking volcano

It does seem quite an obvious thing to happen…

Yeah, lets fuckin create a giant steam bomb, thatd be REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL smart.

NASA research literally paper mache volcanoes at this point

some other articles are saying this water shit got defunct because of this reason and there's no current plans to build it. nothing will happen with yellowstone

...

NO NASA, DO NOT COCK BLOCK ME FROM THE HAPPENING OF HAPPENINGS

lol that's hilarious

Modern NASA is a joke. Take it from someone who knows.

Neither is it economically or technologically possibly to stop a supervolcano eruption. Artificially cooling the magma is incredibly stupid and would maybe delay it for a very short while but it will cause it to build more dangerous pressure making the inevitable unstoppable eruption far far worse had we not interfered with nature.

oh shit kek

EXPLODE ALREADY YOU VOLCANIC COCKTEASE

what if someone/a group of people nutted in the volcano?

Why?

As it stands the plates in between yellowstone and toba are shifting some. If one goes the other has a chance to as well. Toba is the one theorized to cause the ice age. On the plus side the middle east would get SO MANY earthquakes.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_explosion
youtube.com/watch?v=RET1fcpHS6U

...

Nah it's basically a geyser. Not fracking. These idiots are retards who don't understand the amount of water it would take to "release the heat" from a supervolcano would require probably most of the ocean's supply. The heat is coming from the earth's core. Nobody is cooling that down with the tiny water supply we have on the Earth's surface.

At worst, these goddamn retards would be like popping a zit and actually HELPING the volcano to erupt by giving it a path of least resistance.

This is utter and complete fucking nonsense of the highest degree. "A NASA scientist" is likely a fucking retard, or a liar looking for Federal Funds Shekels for bullshit research like cocaine shrimp on treadmills.

Unless they know the earth is hollow and that the magma comes from elsewhere and influenced by other means than the core that is nonexistent.

Check.

Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
- Matthew 24:35 KJV

It would only become a geyser if you don't force the water down. You think they're just going to drill a reservoir and pump water in and out of it?
That wont work either, but at least it isnt as dangerous.
The magma reservoir is so big, and replenished by so large a heat source (the mantle) that I doubt this plan would ever work.
Drilling out that reservoir might weaken the walls of rock holding back the magma just enough to cause the eruption.

You better have a couple hundred neet brood women and an organized reproduction plan, because you'll be long dead and decomposed, and your decendents would all die of inbred genetic issues after a few generations without enough genetic lines. It's gonna be at least a few hundred years.

for fucks sake if Yellowstone wasn't a shitty national park it would have been divided up into major industrial zones that could have been making america greater for a hundred years powered entirely by geothermal. but progressive government doesn't like green energy solutions. bunch of earth/nature hating fags on the left I tell you what.

It's not hydraulic fracturing, it's pneumatic fracturing.

Reminder that the preservation of nature is Aryan and the the pursuit of corporate profit above all else is jewish.

...

JUST DO IT! JUST FUCKING DO IT!

WTF!?


The website describes the process of the Burnett’s experiments, “First, a crustacean is infected, by injection, with the same types of disease-causing bacteria that are commonly encountered in the wild. Next, the animal is placed on a specially built, mini underwater treadmill. Then, the organism's vital signs, such as its heart rate and blood pressure, are measured (as a proxy for fitness) while it walks on the treadmill--similar to the way that a person's vital signs are measured while he or she& walks on a treadmill during a stress test. Finally, the treadmill performances of infected crustaceans are compared to those of their uninfected counterparts.”The NSF has even produced a video on the project titled: '''__“The Importance of Studying Shrimp On A Treadmill”.__'''Some of the results of the studies are available from the NSF, “Results show that infected crabs and shrimp do not perform on the treadmill as well as their uninfected counterparts, and that the immune responses that are triggered by bacterial infections are enough, by themselves, to reduce these animals' ability to take up oxygen, even when high levels of oxygen are available.”The website further states that there are “More answers needed”, as research is ongoing.

...

I bet the jews did this to science.

Shoo shoo pesky jew.


>>>/oven/

We're all going to die so might as well get some kikes and coons while we can.

If you watch NASA backwards, you see an inspiring tale of a struggling government agency acquire funding and go to the moon.

Why not give your life over to Jesus Christ?

Hehe, I have come into this subject recently in here forums. They are ready for some continent shift, so gotta be big. :)
Se my last posts here: 8ch.net/pol/res/10406979.html

"in here forums" in my readings. my autocorrect is neger. continental also.

Ok anons give it to me straight, how fucked is the planet if Yellowstone pops?

Another Ice Age amounts of fucked

breddy fucked m8.
We're talking temperatures that would not allow agriculture, toxic fumes, darkness…
I mean… Most of us would die.

that's not as bad as total kike tyranny that we might be headed for. another ice age would be beneficial in the long run.

bump.

Only whites gonna survive an ice-age.

I don't think they can do this. Too many idiots in the NASA with a special thank to Mr. Obama.

Almost the whole world and everyone will enter a new era that is called Ice Age. Ice Age is long overdue. I do not know why the Ice Age is so late.

...

We would definitely gain more land mass. Last ice age gave us the great lakes and a bunch of land through glaciers. That would probably happen again somewhere else.

Because human civilization never prepares for catastrophes it never survives them. If this did happen we have no food supplies or any other measures set up, so essentially 90+% of the current population on Earth would die and it would be thousands of years before we could rebuild any kind of civilization.

Ice age it is then. It would be paradise compared to the shithole world we live in now.

And Asians as well. I believe that the Asian race came into existence during the Ice Age so are the white race as well. If I am right then that means there will be other new race coming soon. I wonder what they will look like?

Good luck ice-age chan!

Nah, the worst case scenario is that they succeed in cooling it, a shell of otherwise molten magma hardens a little lower, and it slows the Earth's core, which in turn reduces our magnetic field and causes the atmosphere to get blown away by solar wind.

...

I got a gif for you! Reduced population and more land mass means everyone will live in peace for long time until the population reach billions again.

I hope that doesn't happen because our atmosphere is fragile and thin so if that happen then it cannot be self heal like the x-men wolverine.

Southern hemisphere and equitorial Niggers ain't gonna be affected that much if you exclude that Whites won't be able to give them gibs anymore..

That's stupid. Even YS caldera is a spark compared to temperature and pressure of the core plus it's on the upper surface of the earth. No matter what we do we can't affect the core in any way.

Why the fuck NASA deal with Earth geology? It's not their domane. Anyway, I hope they do it and set it off, (((USA))) will be destroyed, we get short cooling period so billions of niggers and shitskins will die from starvation.

oh fuck yes

The fucks cant pick what to eat for lunch or go to space. I doubt that they could do anything to prevent the global chimpening

The third world would collapse almost overnight without white gibs. the jews' plans would fail. Whites would be toughened by a hard lifestyle.

Maybe a new ice age is the happening we should be hoping for.

tbh it would be better to be turned into colossal geothermal plant that steams off, utilizes and prevents potentially catastrophic energy buildups than being beautiful for a couple of centuries just to be wholly consumed by magma.

Why is nasa fucking with a volcano?
Don't tell scientologyfags, the whole xenu volcano thing in they're religion they're not supposed to know about will make them shit themselves (the story is so retarded that they need to be properly blackmailed and brainwashed before being told or, like the leaders at scientology say, 'their heads will literally explode' (people fell for this) or more likely they'll lose their shit), or tell them about it and fuck with them, which sounds nice.

Or inadvertently revealing how the next 9/11 false flag will go down.

Something that never stood cannot collapse. Best case scenario about half billion humanitarian aid deadweight niggers die within the span of some months, Africa returns to its natural population of ~300m and the there would be next to zero noticeable differences except maybe megafauna in national reserves going extinct by hungry niggers.

Maybe a secret facility or some unknown important shit that are tiny ears aren't allowed to hear.

Seriously though, there are groups for digging into the earth, so nasa doing is some shady shit.

:DD

No matter how much you think you know, there's always something out there that will surprise you. those nasa fucks could be doing anything there.

You're awfully retarded to think that summerfags never use image boards during the other seasons. Have you ever considered that this site has always been shit past 2014?

I thought you were making this up as you go but when I looked them up to prove you a liar and it turned out that you aren't kidding at all about the xenu volcano thing.

The National Socialists will rise from Agartha to smite this sick Jewed surface world.

hopefully they will, user

This is fucking retarded. The amount of heat stored in a body is proportional to it's volume, which is inversely related to the radius of a sphere. It's not something that will be visible in the slightest until it disappears because the core itself has to maintain a fairly large buffer to keep flowing (the currents which drive the dynamo in the center start damn near the crust.) Moreover everything we do to cool any of it cools the entire layer at a time because it flows around based on gravity - this means that each time they have to drill deeper on a geothermal well for instance there is a fixed time by which every other geothermal well of the same depth would also need to be drilled. The moon replenishes it partly, which is the only reason we even still have a molten core on a planet this size considering how long ago the solar system formed.
More to the point: cooling A FUCKING SUPERVOLCANO to the point it won't erupt even after you've drilled into the magma chamber will most definitely have a noticeable impact on the Earth's magnetic field. The magma chamber in a supervolcano isn't just fucking enormous, it's the whole thing because it sits in the middle of a large continent - meaning it has the weight of all of north america pushing down on it. If you cool that off the BEST case scenario is that the continent splits down the middle as the newly solidified bulge floats to the surface and you end up with two giant molten rivers of lava for however long that takes to cool off.

bump

NASA isn't going to do anything because they are useless because of the welfare things.

NASA has mission creeped the space stuff out the window, now its a clearing house for sciencey sinecures.

NASA should close down and transfer the space mission to the military.

Bullshit.
We have Tuatara in NZ that are literally survivors of the dinosaur age.
How do you think those cold blooded lizards survived Taupo? They are from a 200 million years old order..

Taupo really fucked shit up though. Ash 18cm deep 1000 km away on remote islands. You can see it throughout New Zealand.

Romans and Chinese reported the later eruptions and didn't all 'die off' so this is fucking doom and gloom fund-me FUD.

Assuming that it would turn to steam.

Israel should be considered an enemy of the state.

Right. So that's what they're planning on Monday for the eclipse. The darkened sun in the prophecies would then refer to the sun's light being obscured by the ash clouds. Fuck

...

Why not? This falls neatly in their depopulation plan. I can't think of an easier way to get rid of so many people in one fell swoop. West coast means shit to them, also they're protected by the Rocky mountains

On second thought 23 september might be more likely. Too obvious on eclipse

Nah, the larper that posted those warnings is more likely to happen a blown volcano doesn't exactly evoke the right image for martial law.

THE VOLACNO HAS BLOWN, GIVE ME YOUR GUNS GOYIM

You don't need to take away guns from people turned to ash

Only Neanderthals can survive an ice age.

...

Such bullshit. Trump is pro-gun president endorsed by the NRA. He knows we need our guns and cars to take out the alt-left

...

Did he say a volcano can cause a nuclear winter?
He works at NASA?

Who will ensure the death of all jewry?

We've only been on Holla Forums for the lesser half of 2014, things couldn't have turned to shit that quickly.

The term nuclear winter is used to refer to tremendous amounts of ash put in the atmosphere by ground burst nukes.

A fucking volcano like Yellowstone will shit metric fucktonnes of ash straight to the stratosphere.

their plan? wtf? bro I am all for this plan, and I for one am tired of waiting. It would be so bad ass, me and my team would score all the good shit, cars at car dealerships, houses, the local WalMart would be mine. I think I am becoming a total psychopath since using Holla Forums

cool story bro

whats the actual mission name? I want to look it up on the missions list on nasa.gov. If its in the link I wont see it because im not going to that shit site.

wilcox eats dicks, and is one of the biggest lying disinfo douchenozzles ever to walk the earth. anyone believing anything nasa says, ever, i have a bridge on mars to sell them cheap; im having a blowout sale. hint: there is no mars.

nasa stands for Never Any Straight Answer. 19 billion a year we give them and all we get is lies and cartoons.

stop drinking the fluoride and do your homework folks.

This is partially incorrect.

Earth's heat is generated by the radioactive decay of elements found in the core. No one has sampled the core, obviously, however the math points to this being the only possible solution.

I believe in the late 1700s or 1800s there were attempts to figure out the age of the earth via mathematical calculations based on Newtonian mathematics. They concluded that, based on the volume of a sphere the size of the Earth……and geothermal heat gradients (based on the premise that the Earth's heat was a holdover from it's formation)…..that the Earth was only "X" number of years old because anything older than that and we'd be cooler.

This was in stark contrast to the much much-older geological age implied by the surface foilations and structures found at the surface. So one had to be incorrect. The only way these two conflicting 'observations' were reconciled was when radioactive elements were discovered and it was noticed that they gave off heat as they decayed.

And it was finally settled once radioactive elements in the oldest rock on earth were discovered and sampled. The canadian shield and the Australian outback, iirc, has the oldest rocks discovered.

There is more to the above, but that's essentially the nuts and bolts of it. If you're still interested, go look up the 'age of the earth' history and you can see the whole story.

Regardless of all the above academic BS, the concept of 'drilling into the earth' to relieve pressure on a Supervolcano is the most re-fucking-tarded shit I have ever heard. I swear I have heard more stupid people buy into that shit and leads me to believe that truly I people are so fucking dumb that we do need a mass pandemic to sweep the world and kill off the chattle.

The ONLY crazy ass "drilling to relieve pressure" argument that I've ever heard that is even remotely somewhat "plausible" from a technical standpoint is drilling into a fault plane and injecting water and "fracking it" to relieve pressure from building into catastrophic earthquake potential. It's still likely a logistical nightmare, but it's still in the realm of bleeding-edge possibility.

The supervolcano idea is just dumb. Dumb idiot from "NASA" trying to get stupid people to give money to them so they can have their scientific payday. Because these stupid scientists are just whores for money. They need money to stay alive and will "study" anything, for any political agenda, as long as they get shekels. It's why you see all those studies for millions of $$$$, studying shit that we already know. It's why you see headlines like "Multi-billion $$$ study confirms the majority of heterosexual men want to have sex with beautiful women more than ugle squat fuglies.". All from some dipshit at a [[[university]]] who just wanted an easy paycheck.

Furthermore, back to the point of the article. NO ONE is drilling this thing. The sheer magnitude of the magma pocket, as indicated by the pics, and the Low-velocity-Zones which indicate that rock is so hot that it is in a semi-jelly like phase (so called "low velocity" because it's where sesimic waves begin to slow down as the material cannot physically conduct waves as quickly) is so goddamn massive that it is physically impossible to cool down that much material. FFS, we can't even drill down to the MOHO yet (roughly 20 miles down) and the LPZ's extend to roughly 450 miles down.

This shit is a fucking stupid to even talk about because it's so impossible. But of course, stupid fucking NASA has to go out there and shekel beg because that's what they do, like every other bullshit "science" institution.

Hitler trips, beautiful. Checked, nothing else to say because you've basically said it all.

niggers.

It doesn't matter if a geothermal energy complex at Yellowstone could produce a ton of power if so much of it is going to be lost in an incredibly expensive transportation to the nearest substation.

can't wait desu

iceagenow.info/

Underrated poast

haha holy shit why did I also think this plan was dreamt up by some diversity hires upon glancing at the OP

the eastcoast is all nuclear power plants, west coast has volcanos so they use geothermal. basically there are no eastern volcanos to blow up m'frae, ring of fire and all that

They're not talking about cooling it over a human timespan. The guy says it would take tens of thousands of years to cool it down.
This is either waffle to bring in money, or perhaps a limited hang-out of a plan which was meant to remain secret but has been compromised.
If secret, the plan would be to trigger the caldera and expedite depopulation. Depopulation has been and is a primary objective of the elite. They already have their seed banks, bunkers and underground cities for their families, once they have everything ready, pop the zit and send up the minutemen just to be sure, then and go underground for 50 years. Sounds fantastic but think about it, underground cities with nuclear power, hospitals, factories, hundreds of acres of cutting edge hydroponic farms with artificial sun lighting, fish farms for protein (and the fish waste fertilizes the plants - aquaponics), housing, entertainments, police, military, schools and universities. A whole generation of the elite would grow up in these underground cities, educated and trained from birth to be the leaders of the first one-world government.
They would keep tabs on surface activity through satellite and drone observation, with the ability to take out any group of surface dwellers becoming too organized, then at emergence time, military and police roll out and take control of the survivors (new slave population).

This makes so much sense that it's bound to happen eventually, and sooner rather than later.

Gas yourself D&C kike.


Commit suicide.

healthnutnews.com/nasa-launching-massive-bacteria-balloons-during-eclipse-across-the-coast-to-coast-path/

Thirty of the 75 balloons released will be carrying “small samples of an extremely resilient strain of bacteria called Paenibacillus xerothermodurans over 80,000 feet above Earth. The P. xerothermodurans samples will be attached to thin, aluminum ‘coupons’ and attached to the outside of the balloons.”

rut roh

...

NASA can't go to the moon, it was literally so Russia and the US can get a head start on the space weapons before everyone else.

I have some questions:
Why would the elites be underground to begin with? Is it because, when the system collapses, they need to wait for the population to reduce as every man on the surface is now fighting for himself?
And secondly, if they did, with drones, discover signs of "too much" organisation, how would that be dealt with?

Who is ready for living below the earth untill we come back to the surface for qt's with machines and A DRILL TO PIERCE THE HEAVENS ?

That's right. At a high enough pressure and temperature, steam becomes "supercritical" or something and then all hell breaks loose. It starts phasing through solids or some shit.

LOL! This is retarded because the second part is not even required. If you simply drill a hole down into the hot shit then you will create a vent and this will release pressure. You don't have to pour cold water on it. Fucking retarded.

i've tried telling you motherfuckers for years how bad yellowstone really is
dig into that shit
the USGS has been using using explosives on the lava tubes that spread out from yellowstone like veins.
i know of one such detonation near Leavenworth, Washington, and another in mexico that they fucked up so badly that it caused a smaller volcano to erupt.
also look into the (((death))) of a man in the yellowstone jail approximately two years ago. i think it was in june or july. he was looking into things he shouldn't have been.
i've been to yellowstone recently, and things are beyond fucked up. they had to evacuate a large portion of the park because of how old faithful was getting extremely powerful eruptions at completely irregular and unpredictable intervals. i'm talking many orders of magnitude larger. not just like 2 or even 3 times larger.
all the trees are dying even for dozens of miles outside the park
animals are fleeing in mass numbers
the mud pots are getting more intense and changing color
there's been pockets of what is basically hot acid erupting and taking out roads
it's completely fucked up and the (((msm))) won't report on it either to prevent panic or because they really do intend to force an eruptionthat is honestly very unlikely though and i'm not sure if i believe anything like that
if you don't believe what i say or can't find anything digging, then go to yellowstone and see for yourself. the place is eerie and dead

Just so everyone knows, the company I work for specializes in building log cabins.

We never don't need work, either.

That's when I leave Australia. I am getting spooked now.

If dubs, it's certain to happen.

Pumping water into a volcano is retarded. You know what happens if water meets an extremely hot source. It goes poof and steam gets created, now if you pump enough into it it will errupt even faster, since now it isn't only toxic gases but also additional steam which tries to get out of it.
The magma itself might get cooled off so much that it turns into stone, except that it will block the other magma which will yet again conclude in an eruption.
Conclusion: That scientist forgot a lot of things about pressure.

Note: Even though this is a really retarded mistake he did with his snap idea, it is part of science.

XDDDDDDD

sage for shitposting

NASA has stolen more than a trillion dollars from the american people. The day of the rope can't come soon.

They would establish a (((media outlet))).

Longer actually, the last I've Age lasted around 40-60k years if I remember correctly. Almost all technological progress would be stopped because the ground would be too cold to dig in even with modern equipment. We would have to take every speck of resources we currently have in our possession and use them to begin immediate construction of underground cities and greenhouses not only large enough to feed the current population but future ones as well, same with the underground cities. Due to modern technology and knowledge we wouldn't face anywhere near as much hardship as our distant ancestors did but it still wouldn't be a cakewalk. Thankfully though, if scientists are correct, we would still have more than likely have decades to adequately prepare if not even centuries before Ice Age conditions begin to truly set in. A lot of people would certainly die because of how dependent they are on modern comforts and medicine but anyone who is at least adequately fit and willing to endure hardship would certainly have the chance to survive. Hell, depending on what technology is currently being hidden from us we could perhaps even lessen or even reverse the atmospheric change. Our biggest two issues though by far will be food production and mining though, but with mining we do already have well established mines and man made tunnel and cave networks so it may not be quite as much of a challenge but it will still certainly be difficult. No metal means no machines, electronics, tools, etc which means our food and heat production are limited which means more fatalities.

Basically buy a pickaxe user

FREEZE THE KIKES, ICE AGE NOW

no sunlight, no life, period, fuck it all

...

Uhm… dawg…

This. I fucking hate being an impoverished NEET. It really fucks up my prepper plans.

user I stated that we would have a little time to prepare unless the worst case scenario happens. The magnitude of the project though would take every second of precious time we would have left however, if not even more and that's assuming we only focused on that and greenhouses

We do have artificial lights thankfully, granted I don't know how useful/practical they are at thus point in time but it's something at least

Vitamin D nigger

Just don't fucking touch it.

You underestimate humanities resilience.
Its survived the black plague for gods sake. Yellowstone won't compare to that abomination.

It's NASA so no, they're just giving Reddit something to promote.

Is this what whites have been waiting for? Low light cold climate is what whites thrive in. Every other race would die of Vitamin D deficiency or other illnesses.

and this is how the world ends

checked

If the devastation is primarily the ash clouding our planet then couldn't we disperse it via nukes before an ice age even begins?

this

Is Wyoming a good state?

If you are looking for a low population state, Alaska is better.

Just stay out of Anchorage. Looney liberals live there.

this place is doned

nice dubs. i for one welcome the cleansing bath of magma on spics & niggers

Facebook tier. Where is the proof.

Would pre detonation work?

When will yellowstone erupt?

Certainly sounds like NASA.

I'm waffling between writing a serious post or a shitpost because I doubt anyone is going to read this anyway.

America is one of the premier breadbaskets of the world. We provide astronomical amounts of food to the rest of the planet, especially Asia and Africa, which few people ever appreciate. Yellowstone going off would immediately terminate the growing season in America and kill all crops up to (and perhaps beyond) the Mississippi River. All the land between Washington State and Kentucky will be virtually uninhabitable because of ash clouds with razor-sharp lung-tearing glass. That means the land will be effectively unrecoverable for a while, even after Yellowstone stops erupting. You can pretty much guess the obvious, in that the population of the United States and Canada will be dramatically reduced, or at the minimum, heavily concentrated at the coasts. We're talking rural West Virginia magically getting tens of thousands of refugees virtually overnight. The economic impact will be hideous. The cost on local governments will far outstrip their resources, law and order will cease to exist outside of heavily-fortified government enclaves and critical assets, and food and water will be in short supply. All of this will happen without even mentioning a possible (probable) nuclear winter which would see very harsh cold-weather conditions hit most of the northern hemisphere by the end of the year. So pretty much South is the only area that wouldn't be totally fucked the first year, post-eruption. It would still be economically and logistically fucked, having their state populations triple nearly instantly, and there's no possible way the amount of arable land in the South could feed such a population surge. The USA would effectively break up into regionalism, and the economy would be destroyed.

Less obvious impacts:
1) Mass-starvation in Asia and Africa would become an inescapable reality, especially with sudden global cooling affecting the European growing season as well. Migrant flows will grow way, waaaaay worse. China would probably try and head this off by invading weaker neighbors, leading to an India/China/Pakistan conflagration of unknown magnitude.

2) American economic collapse would ruin established financial order completely. All "social safety nets" would be financially untenable. This would lead to rapid civil-conflict situations throughout Europe. Not a government in the Western world would survive, though Eastern Europe will fair better, ironically for being poorer and more agrarian.

3) American troops would likely be recalled worldwide except in support of oil-exporting nations. Units incapable of returning would be placed under some manner of allied command (assuming Europe isn't totally melting down by this point). You can imagine what a clusterfuck that will create. Another Israel war would be virtually guaranteed, and without American oversight will probably go nuclear.

4) American nuclear missile silos will be effectively inoperable, as well as all the primary bomber bases in the USA. The only nuclear deterrence that will be operational will be SLBMs and carrier-bound nukes. Yeah.

So it's not a Hollywood-esque sudden apocalypse that happens overnight, but rather a slow-moving one that causes chain reaction after chain reaction. "Order" as we know it would probably be maintained for a few months, and then rapidly skate out of control thereafter as global links are severed by a series of inescapable consequences. A huge percentage of the global population would be gone after the first two years, and the current incarnations of the United States/Canada would likely not survive. Not when most of the population will either die, flee, or be condensed into one of three geographical areas in the southern US.

It wouldn't be the end of the world, but it would start decades of starvation and war as global order evaporates. Something which hasn't really happened since Napoleon. Expect a genocidal campaign by (((someone))) to secure the oil in the Middle-East.

Were you shit posting or is this underway? Asking for someone with a trainable crustacean fetish.

Just build a better park somewhere else.

This

I read it. Thanks for the analysis, user.

ICBMs can't shoot through ash clouds?

Read "Supervolcano" by Harry Turtledove. At the end of book three people are not even able to shower daily and are riding bicycles because gasoline is just a memory for most. 90% of the population in America has died.

no, the silos would be buried on hundreds of feet of ash fall.

How's cuntland gonna fare?

Well something has to be done. I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. If Yellowstone erupts then I and around 4 million aryan mormon's in and around Utah would just be eradicated in the blink of an eye this is aside from essentially the whole northern hemisphere being utterly fucked
Save us Mormon Jesus

keked hard

checked, nice post
to the only possible solution bit, electromagnetic rad from the sun and the churn of the earth in a day and its orbit in a year cuts alot of field lines.
induction could be a big factor

Short of American naval assets operating under Japanese command and enforcing your sovereignty with nuclear weapons, it will end exactly how you expect it will. Picture related.

I appreciate your insight.

Real life isn't 40K, we don't need to send tanks and marines into space.

Not to mention fleets of boats carrying hungry refugees flooding our shores. See how many bleeding hearts care about them then.

Nuclear power could solve all these problems. We can use electrical lights and desalinated water to grow crops if we truly needed the energy. You could use natural gas for a year or so as a stopgap while you spun up your reactor factory. I got fired because I was at CVille, so if anyone wants to start a company based on this idea I have designs. We will need to create a marketing plan to get survivalists bought in. 5-50 MWe is the range of nuclear plant outputs that can reasonably be considered of a "deliverable" size to most communities.

how much

He doesnt realize that the process of life happened twice on earth, once in the photic zone near the surface of the ocean, and once in the aphotic zone where to this day ecosystems subsist entirely off of geothermal vents

Seems to me if this ever happened we'd need to take advantage of the little time we'd have to keep the lights on to stage a mass migration to africa, push the locals into the interior or the grave and build up New America to weather the chaos.

This is what white men do.

I just want a little more chaos in this world.

Its not so much a money issue as it is having the right regulatory environment. The physical material comprising the reactor is not of significant cost. The engagement with a regulator in the bureaucratic nightmare which is the west effectively prevents any small entrants into the field.

In a suitable country with reasonable import laws you are looking at roughly 50 cents per watt (contrasted with the 10-15 dollars per watt that the AP1000 builds were estimated at before cancellation)

A fully funded build would run $25 million for a FOAK. There are opportunities to leverage funding against Western gov't money, however, if you would prefer a more traditional approach. In that case $500k would get some development kickstarted.
