Boom threat: Mount St. Helens broods over the bent world
St Helens super-volcano news here and here. Mark Morford explains it all in Your imminent apocalyptic death. It's just around the corner. Any minute now. No really, including:
Did you hear? It's quite possible. Right there, under Mount St. Helens up in Washington state, scientists think they can see a true, epic monster of an eruption brewing, one far more intense than the classic 1980 model, a perfect storm of gasses and pressure and molten magma, all of it the size of, well, a mountain. Times ten.We can't say we weren't warned.
And so you think, well gosh, thank goodness I don't live up in Washington state! I shall live far away and watch the pretty eruption, should it happen, on YouTube someday!
How cute you are. Did you miss the noun? It's not just a volcano. It's a supervolcano. The eruption zone potentially spans from St. Helens over to Mount Rainier and Mount Adams ... upwards of 75 miles, total. If this region blows, they say it would be the equivalent of the blast that formed Yellowstone National Park a half a million years ago. The spew would block out the sun, worldwide. It would drop the temperature of the planet. For days. Maybe longer. Does it matter? It's the sun. The sun is sort of important.
