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.<\/p>\n<p>And so you think, well gosh, thank goodness I don&#8217;t live up in Washington state! I shall live far away and watch the pretty eruption, should it happen, on YouTube someday!<\/p>\n<p>How cute you are.<br \/>\nDid you miss the noun? It&#8217;s not just a volcano. It&#8217;s a supervolcano. The eruption zone potentially spans from St. Helens over to Mount Rainier and Mount Adams &#8230; 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&#8217;s the sun. The sun is sort of important.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We can&#8217;t say we weren&#8217;t warned.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bruceconkle.com\/\">Bruce Conkle<\/a>, <font size=\"-1\" face=\"Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif\"><i>Middle Kingdom<br \/>\nEarth is Fucked&nbsp; <\/i><i>(Blubberlamp IV)<\/i><\/p>\n<p><\/font><span class=\"mt-enclosure mt-enclosure-image\" style=\"display: inline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/anotherbb\/assets_c\/2009\/07\/bruceconkleboom-8326.html\" onclick=\"window.open('http:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/anotherbb\/assets_c\/2009\/07\/bruceconkleboom-8326.html','popup','width=400,height=541,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.artsjournal.com\/anotherbb\/assets_c\/2009\/07\/bruceconkleboom-thumb-300x405-8326.jpg\" alt=\"bruceconkleboom.jpg\" class=\"mt-image-center\" style=\"margin: 0pt auto 20px; text-align: center; display: block;\" width=\"300\" height=\"405\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St Helens super-volcano news here and here.
