How exactly do they plan on doing that? I mean I'm sure we all have an idea of a way to prevent Yellowstone from erupting, but some larger entity like NASA would definitely fuck it up.
This has no negative implications.
>one scientists
i'll be surprised if they even bother looking into hard methods of relieving pressure. seems more like one guy throwing ideas at the wall and seeing what gets him a raise.
if that thing blows anywhere on earth is to close, read this
en.wikipedia.org
and that eruption was a small fart compared to a possible Yellowstone eruption, the fags dying in the initial blast would be the lucky ones if you ask me
user, if that volcano goes up you're going to feel it no matter where you are, the entire hemisphere is going to be fucked.
>the fags dying in the initial blast would be the lucky ones if you ask me
This. I don't want to starve
Well, the obvious solution (obviously without any data to back it up) would be to avoid an explosive eruption by drilling release vents so the pressure drops. Like poking tiny holes in a balloon so that it doesn't pop.
This is Jahannam, the fire that will cleanse the Kuffar

like a needle tip small hole? did you try it?
(protip: put some tape on the balloon surface for structural integrity on poke that pice)
I'll do that and charge NASA 50 million dollars for proof of concept testing heh heh heh
Yeah, but I worry that NASA isn't going to be lenient like that.

stick to space you fucking faggots.

>just use tape
ok now transfer your experiment to earth
>tfw there is no tape
adding water to the magma would cause the exposed layer to cool and turn to stone, which, still being under the surface, would effectively plug the hole you just made and increase the pressure again
the magma needs to be allowed to expand out of the ground, without the explosion
Us whiteys have so much privilege that we will be spared the yellow stone hunger-phase because we were genocide'd.
fucking niggers gon' be real fucking hungry and Saint peter will stand at the pearly gates with a sign that says "fuck off, we're full."

i don't want to live in a world without national socialism
Let me put this in simpler terms so you stupid anti-climate chang, white supremacists will understand.
1# ERUPTION - 800km around the Yellowstone national park IS GONE in lava. A caldera with this size breaks open, everything in this radius falls down into several kilometers deep of lava. I quote a scientist "we are toast, we are done". It's just ..... gone, not there anymore.
2# Whole America would be buried under several meters of extremly toxic volcanic ash and it all will be made of billions + billions of microscopic pieces of glass(stone explodes = splitters, the heat melts this creates glass), they found a herd of dead animals ~1000km from Yellowstone from the last eruption and all had the glass ash in their bones, killed by the ash rain which got into their lungs.
3# The ash would rain over North America for weeks, crushing houses under the weight and burrying everything beneath. Without a gas mask - see 2
4# The ash comes into the stratosphere, travels around the world and if it comes into contact with airplanes the turbines are "glased" because the ash melts again because of the temperature there = drop dead to the ground.
That's why the worldwide air travel has to stop for several months, maybe a year, nothing can fly.
5# The ash clouds darken the sky for 5-6 years, every plant dies. So does every animal because they have no food without the plants. Also, nuclear winter, global temperatures drop about ~10-15 degree celsius.
#6 WE ARE FUCKED. Seriously, if this thing breaks out ...... I don't think the human race can survive.
7# Did I mention that the Yellowstone volcano breaks out in intervals (out of my head every 1,35 million years as far as I remember) and it's overdue? Okay we talk about a timespan of (out of my head, don't have the presentation here) 0-50.000 years, but I could break out every moment
>americans
>solve a problem
do they want to throw a nuke in it?
haha
>this
>National Aerodynamics and Space Administration
>instead of the fucking department of interior
We're never going into space again.
My guess is that this effort will only lead to accidentally making the whole fucking thing explode like a shook bottle of Fanta
FUND IT.
Terraforming our environment is the future.
mooolten mag-mah!
cool! volcano dust is nutrient rich for plants! like Azomite rock dust.
>stupid anti-climate chang
they're going to kill us all
...
Im not sure that there is a material in the world that can withstand lava flowing through it for very long. And im not sure that it would even flow. When you consider the weight of it, friction, and parts of it hardening as it cools coming up the hole. Id like to see what the scientists actually want to do.
I forgot an “E” like you all forgot how vital healthy teeth are.
>"space" agency
>wants to research shit in the ground
In reality, they just want grant money for bogus projects which will never get any followup.
Keeps the paychecks going without any responsibility in the future.
I doubt it.
Oh man I really don't trust those fucks to not to blow it up
Why even fuck with it? Unless it's set to blow just leave it the fuck alone
WE FRACK YELLOWSTONE TO SAVE HUMANITY AND PRODUCE AN INFINITE AMOUNT OF OIL.
Cool magma . .with water . .
this guy . .
What you gonna do it prematurely make it go BOOM .
The only chance is to allow it to blow from different location and not concentrated .
You'd want a dozen St.Helens to one yellowstone and that's putting it mildly because i have no idea how many St.Helens = yellowstone anyways .
btw to actually "cool" the SEA of magma under yellowstone one usually need several times xx the amount of SEA to put out anything .
>what could possibly go wrong?
yeah how racist trying to shut down mother nature..that's also anti-feminist
Can't they just have the pressure flow to several different hotspots we make, having them the equivalent to St. Helens like
Thanks for the explanation despite calling me stupid before hand :(
We also have relieve holes drilled where the steam comes out. Use the steam for power. Its going to be a gold mine.
>america trying to relieve pressure from anything
i guess the human race dragged on long enough, time to die.
Oh... my... fucking...
That isn’t fracking since there’s no oil involved.
The air ceiling is sexist and holding them back, that's why
MFW I live in the inner death zone. I get to be instantly annihilated while you faggots choke on cinders.
Enjoy your ashy doom, niggers.
Please God make it explode.
Roast all the niggers and antifa and commie feminists.
I don't give a fuck. End this planet.
>New Hampshire wins again
America. You could enlist all those useless sexist white male layabouts to do the dangerous Yellowstone job.
>2021
That's a long wait
Everything you just said is just some made up horse shit.
The whole yellowstone bullshit is a CIA psy-op. to distract the sheeple like yourself from the real truth.
>make free clean energy
>save the world from total anihilation in the process
Fuck yeah.
just drill a hole down to china that way it would erupt down there, wiping out the chinks and saving the west
kinda sucks for japan but they dont have souls anyway so whatever
rekt and debunkt
Not sure about what you said but I felt challenged to post this in response to your picture.
Are you trying to tell me that Yellowstone isn't a volcano that didn't blow up 640,000 years ago and isn't due to blow up again?
Why don't we dig a tunnel from out of state all the way to it? Sure the tunneler that reach it will be killed, but for the greater good.
>Also when the pressure is low enough, dig out the entire park, dig wide, dig deep. Deep enough where if it were to go off, the amount of debris that is launched won't be as dangerous.
Well, read more books instead of being a bigoted piece of shit.
>read more books
>tfw only read magna
why the fuck is NASA doing it?! Why not the union of all TWELVE geologists that actually do field work!? Orchestrated chaos. They know what they're doing. They'll blame it on the eclipse when it blows.
>Seriously, if this thing breaks out ...... I don't think the human race can survive.
I think there's a non-zero chance humans would survive, but civilisation would be gone and the few that did make it through would fall back to being small hunter-gatherer tribes living off the land with a life expectancy of about 30-40 years.
>caused average global temperatures to decrease by 0.4–0.7 °C (0.7–1.3 °F)
But that would solve global warming.
NASA does realize overdue when it comes to volcanoes means that it'll explode 1000-10,000 years from now, right? Why tf they messing with it right now.
Is there anyway you could get it to go off and kill your useless parasites to earth?
Thanks
We could do with the cooler climate down here. O, and fuck off, we're full.
>Neck beard detected.
While I agree with your sentiment I'd have to disagree with ending this planet as I live here and all.
>US flag
>thank fuckking god i dont live anywhere close that ticking time bomb
Unless you're in Alaska or Hawai'i, you're still way too close. When that thing goes up you don't want to be on the same continent as it. Of course, Alaska and Hawai'i import most of their food so you're fucked no matter what. Really, we're all fucked if Yellowstone goes up.
>mfw america self destructs
>The ash clouds darken the sky for 5-6 years, every plant dies.
Wanna know how I know you are retarded?
>Did I mention that the Yellowstone volcano breaks out in intervals
Plants still exist idiot.
We'll frack it and oil will come up. Praise Jesus!
>accidentally set the volcano off
>every NASA employee dies in the blast
>eating spoiled food
In all seriousness here, what are the appropriate steps to take in the event that this eruption happens? Let's say I'm in the UK here. I'm thinking:
1 - immediately go outside and knock on every door on your street. Briefly explain the danger and urgency, explain that you're forming a militia and that every young man in the area is required to join because you can realistically expect raiders to come within days.
2 - create name and meeting point for militia, as well as formalized structure of communication (internet will be down permanently within 2 weeks at most - you will probably never again experience it in your lifetime)
3 - immediately loot all local stores for supplies of any kind - take any and all food (this needs to happen within two days of emergence)
4 - create base out of multiple houses, establish defensive fortifications. Gather weapons and assign to specific militiamen
5 - ??? wait for attacks? die? dunno
Nice assumptions there dipshit, fuck off
Also your logic follows as: not believing in climate change = bigoted piece of shit
So we gonna be
>hordes of white refugees
now? Sweet, dude.
Plants can grow back they just won’t be able to grow for a very long time. You dumbfuck neckbeard.
Funny enough, that might actually work. It would create a nice large vent for the magma
Poke a tiny hole in a balloon and come back to the thread.
>you stupid anti-climate chang
lmfao really nigger
climate change has nothing to do with yellowrock you kike
Sounds like every plant didn't die then doesn't it you doom and gloom fearmongering faggot.
Go hug a tree.
these are the same fucktards that believe in climate change
not worried
dont touch that thing, they will fuck something up and make it explode
Solar Eclipse will cause the super volcano to blow up 6 days later.
NASA is full of blacks, asians, beaners and every race, including retard white women. These retards are gonna blow up the planet and kill us all.
We can only fucking hope
I assumed you were saying you were a white supremacist since I mentioned both. Sorry I called you bigoted but it’s unfortunate you don’t believe in logic and reason.
Just use obsidian and ceramic.
Obsidian normally forms hollow tubes for lava to flow further away by keeping it insulated from the air.
People sometimes fall into them and it's awful.
