    That’s still 2005, not “decades” ago, and it’s still a hype piece that’s been capitalized on by every other network because fear sells, excitement sells, disaster movies sell.

    No serious geologist believes that there’s going to be a Yellowstone supervolcano, maybe ever because shit don’t necessarily work that way. The magma chamber is almost 80% solidified, and we’re talking 10,000 kilometers of rock. The worst case, we will see pressure vents forming and spewing ash, but likely not even THAT in our lifetime.
