[@seanboyize]

I’ve seen some video of magma flow from that volcano. Hats off for helping people out through that. How long did the ash clouds last? That’s one of the scariest aspects of an eruption to me. Clouds of ash can cause respiratory failure and that always seemed like the most sinister effect of an eruption to me. Surviving and avoiding magma or initial pyroclastic flow and then the ash creating toxic rain and being unbreathable would suck. As a kid anytime the floor was lava and I touched it I would just tell my friends the air is ash and we all lost😂

@@l.2620 We have never witnessed a super volcano eruption in the modern age. We don't actually have any idea what goes on deep, deep underground (because we can't see it). It is entirely possible that if and when Yellowstone goes, the symptoms come on so fast we won't see it coming years in advance, because there is a decent chance we don't know all the moving parts. Everything talked about here is theoretical science. They don't mention that once do they. Estimates and suppositions of how super volcanos behave as if we could possibly know for sure without witnessing it. It's shoddy.

[@julianortiz4151]

@@LadyVandMrT , agreed. Also, the supposition of the title of the video is premised on people believing Yellowstone could erupt in our lifetime and I don’t believe I’ve ever heard anyone say or suggest that. I do think there are troglodytes who have oversimplified it to that but, I don’t see it being a widespread belief that warrants a video of loosely strung factoids to counter it; especially, since it just amounts to overwhelming the viewer into submission by data overload. Not saying I disagree with those bits of info, just that if this was a court trial much of the evidence presented is limited to the realm is statistical averages in one direction to make a case against an opinion. Like you say, there’s much more unknown than known. No one can say with certainty that the activity couldn’t just spontaneously ramp up and it’s a waste of time to argue in either way. I did find some of the humor entertaining though. 😂

[@Alpha-cabb]

One thing to note, us humans are not capable of destroying the planet itself or life on the planet, in fact, life on our planet has survived even worse catastrophe than us. Take the "great dying" for example, that event wiped out more than 90% of all life on the planet, but life bounced back, same thing with the meteor that took out the dinosaurs, 2 thirds of all life was wiped out this time but life bounced back again, and lastly we had the Ice ages (yes i said ages because there has been multiple of them with the last one having ended 15,000 years ago) wiped out 20% of all animal species in total from that time. But life bounced back again. And let me tell you again, we are great at ending ourselves but we won't be able to destroy life on earth as a whole. And before you bring up nukes,a nuclear War will not turn thé earth into Fallout. That's not how radiation or nukes work. And plus when a nuke explode, more than 70% of the radiation gets vaporized by the "hotter than the sun" fireball created by the explosion, thé Real danger with nukes IS the Heat but more importantly the shockwave.

Again, this was in a class, at a high school that was considered fairly good by my state's standards. That's pretty disappointing.

[@debbiehenri345]

Yeah, fearmongering over 'supervolcanoes' is commonplace. Got a volcano? Tell the tourists it's going to end civilisation. I went to Iceland 30 years ago, went on a tour to Akureyri - where I was told the ground was rising rapidly, and a huge volcanic eruption of world-changing proportions was predicted to take place 'within the next 20 years'... So, it's 10 years overdue, conveniently forgotten, and now the media wants everyone to live in terror of the south western peninsula. (I'm hoping for a Vestmannaeyjar islands sort of event within my lifetime).

A extinction level event probably did happen maybe even multiple but it probably didn’t wipe out ALL dinosaurs just a massive chunk of them leaving only isolated populations these isolated populations seeing as how well most their food is now gone likely over time adapted to be smaller since they wouldn’t have enough food unless they adapted to need less.

People see a title, fail to read the article and go around saying solar flares approaching in 2025 would somehow destroy the internet. Those flares aren't approaching they haven't left the sun yet. They only take 8 minutes to travel from the sun to the earth. So it's not like it's a flare just floating through space headed right at us. The height of a particular 11-year storm cycle happens in 2025. It's normal, and the earth has natural protection against those flares for the most part. But if hit directly some pieces of our infrastructure 'could' be vulnerable. And we do have solid evidence to prove that some electrical systems can be negatively effected by geomagnetic interference. It's a sound hypothetical regardless of incredulity. That's what I mean though... It's not a claim of something that is GOING to happen. It's a hypothetical of what COULD happen worse case scenario from a flare hitting the earth directly in areas that could compromise infrastructure. Not a declaration these things are going to happen.

I think there's vanishingly few things that could even really put a dent in human civilization as a whole, but I do think it's worth considering how some events could be globally traumatic even without being apocalyptic. Too often people only focus on the absolute worst instead of the fierce things that we would probably overcome in the end

[@redjive_industries3760]

I’ve always liked to ponder a somewhat more realistic depiction of nuclear war, where the result is not necessarily a complete and entire collapse of society so much as a major shifting point, like the shift after WW2. There are many war scenarios which wouldn’t even necessarily completely destroy the governments of the U.S. and USSR during the Cold War, since, y’know, they didn’t just plan to launch the nukes and not at least TRY to pick up the pieces once the dust settled. I recall reading that a major building in the national archives was originally constructed as an extensive secure facility for the storage of hard currency to completely restock all banks east of the Mississippi River as part of a plan to ensure the economy could function in the event of nuclear war. Stuff like that is fun to think about IMO. IMO post-apoc scenarios that consider how the disaster would change existing society rather than replace it with a mostly feudal/nonexistent version are a lot more interesting, because you have to put a lot more thought into your world building then.

[@chromso]

@@redjive_industries3760 I think Ghost in the Shell has that as part of its background, but it doesn't come up much.

​@@arthurhino6936The problem with the idea of diamonds being formed from coal, is that most diamonds found are found to be much older than the first land plants, which is the source of coal sediments. Not only that, it is highly unlikely, that a layer of coal deposits, which can sit as deep as around ~3 km or so, can get deep enough for the temperatures and pressures required for the formation of diamonds, which is around ~150 km. But, diamonds are stil made out of carbon atoms, which crystillized. This carbon probably came from within the earth after the formation of our planet, so not coal.​

I love that you mentioned that super volcanoes don’t only produce super eruptions. For example, the next “super volcano” to erupt will likely be Campi Fleigri, and it will almost certainly not be a super eruption. It has only ever produced 2 eruptions that could be considered super eruptions(1 if you don’t consider anything less then VEI 8 a super eruption), but it has erupted dozens of times with much smaller events which will probably be its next eruption. Volcanoes don’t always erupt the same way. Sure often times you can estimate how it will erupt next using past ones, but even in systems with cyclical patterns no eruption is ever the same as any previous one.

I recall a movie villain once saying “ There is no news like bad news.” That nicely sums up how most news media thinks.

It DOES operate in cycles, tho. Look into how the magnetic poles have switched inside our planet, over and over. Now consider the consequences.

As a doomer , I say fuck the media (even if it was telling the truth)

Wait fault lines are actually volcanoes?

[@jamesmarshall3055]

The ending with the heads is my favorite part of this whole video 😂 bravo

[@user-cy6ho5ov7k]

As a volcanist I can verify that your mother does not think that 1” a year is impressive:

I absolutely love how you incorporate peer reviewed literature written by actual geoscientists in this video, and present it in a way that a non-scientist can understand. This is an Absolutely brilliant piece of science outreach and education!!

I actually got to see the steamboat geyser go off in 2019. And it literally made the ground shake and steam and water went 200-300 ft in the air. It definitely made a loud noise. As someone who has a good grasp on geology and physics I enjoyed it.

just give it sometime to explode it will nobody's going to do shit when it does why cause it has never gone up before it'll be just like that space shuttle when the foam breached the heat shield finally after all those false calls yellow stone will errupt like when your not expecting it

@@long_term_karma9899 yeah I stopped after “space shuttle” that shit was so confusing

[@chrisrenemans5026]

Yeah I personally saw it in 2020, which made it very interesting because there were very few people there watching it even though it was at peak Yellowstone time, (late June at 11 am) there was only around at most 25 people on the two watchpoints combined

[@tonyportelance2537]

I love the last part of this video showing on how the end of civilization and the real cause of it not being Yellowstone and being politicians we hire to run our countries and basically mess everything up those are the real threats. I really love the fact that you put that in good for you. Just that alone made me subscribe to your channel and I can’t wait to see what’s in store next thank you

[@NeroWesten]

I love the energy in your videos. Got a few good laughs out of me.
