From the Hacker News discussion
Firstly, Law of Headlines - the answer is no. But secondly, Volcanologists are not even worried about Yellowstone erupting anytime soon: [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Just so everyone knows, the whole "Yellowstone is a supervolcano that could erupt any minute and cause cataclysmic effects on the planet" is just not true. It was made up for TV "documentaries". Yellowstone does not pose any real threat to society at large. Volcanologists are practically unanimous in that belief. See this video for more information: [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗There is a video by Soup Emporium on Youtube that compares the uplift of the Yellowstone caldera to Campi Flegrei's. The video is queued up to where Campi Flegrei is discussed. [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗Yellowstone will not explode and end civilization (or American civilization for that matter) in many many lifetimes: [VIDEO]
Read original comment ↗There is no real prospect of a "Yellowstone event": [VIDEO] We could effectively geoengineer one by pumping things into the upper atmosphere ourselves, but there's a lot of questions about that and we have no idea if this would help more than it hurt.
