BBC Drama Says Yellowstone Could Kill a Billion
05-Dec-2004
>From the BBC Drama A new BBC drama claims that the Yellowstone supervolcano is
>unstable and could explode, and if it does, subsequent disruptions of the
>earths climate will lead to the deaths of a billion human beings. Although
>the film is not a documentary, its producers claim that it is based on actual
>data gathered with the help of US Federal Emergency Management Agency, the
>Pentagon, and the US Geologic Survey. A USGS spokesman told
>Unknowncountry.com that the agency does not anticipate an explosion of the
>Yellowstone supervolcano at this time. However, numerous geologic changes in
>the area in recent years do suggest that it is becoming more active. In past
>geologic history, the volcano has erupted approximately every 600,000 years.
>It is 640,000 years since the last eruption. The Yellowstone supervolcano is
>a vast area of magma that lies beneath Yellowstone Park. Its eruptions in the
>past have spread ash across most of the United States, and led to years without
summer, due to ash filling the atmosphere and causing generalized cooling. The
BBC drama suggests that the US and Canada would suffer numerous growing seasons
without crops, and that food production worldwide would plummet in the wake of
such an eruption. The volcano would kill a hundred thousand during the
eruption itself, largely due to ash falls and gasses downwind of Yellowstone.
But trillions of tons of ash would then enter the atmosphere, causing as much
as a 60% decline in food production and worldwide famine. Hardest hit would be
poor countries that must import food, and the US and Canada, which would
experience an almost total disruption of farming and an inability to import
enough to feed their populations. What will lift up the minds of your loved
