Above and at the end, Mt. Etna erupts in Italy. Sometimes I do not think Yeshua needs the trumpets, bowls and seals of the Book of Revelation, we are doing a pretty good job of destroying ourselves.
Mad Scientists plan
to save mankind from an exploding Yellowstone super volcano.
Brian Wilcox, an ex-member of
the NASA Advisory Council on Planetary Defense, made the horrifying revelation
while discussing a report by the space agency.
He said that NASA’s “risky” proposals to prevent an eruption
could go wrong with possibly disastrous consequences.
One of the methods would be to drill
into the bottom of the United States volcano and to use a pressurized spurt of
water to release heat from the magma chamber.
But Mr Wilcox said there is a chance
this would not be successful.
“If you drill into the top of the magma chamber and try and cool
it from there, this would be very risky,” he said.
“This could make the cap over the
magma chamber more brittle and prone to fracture. And you might trigger the
release of harmful volatile gases in the magma at the top of the chamber which
would otherwise not be released.”
But Mr Wilcox warned it is clear
something must be done, “I was a member of the NASA Advisory Council on
Planetary Defense which studied ways for NASA to defend the planet from
asteroids and comets.
“I came to the conclusion during that
study that the super volcano threat is substantially greater than the asteroid
or comet threat.”
Earth has 20 known super volcanoes,
which if they erupted, would trigger planet-changing effects.
Major eruptions are incredibly rare, with the last one
approximately 26,500 years ago in New Zealand.
But if a similar event occurred
today, it would cause a nuclear winter with humans wiped out in just a few
months from starvation.
Mr Wilcox said Yellowstone is so
urgent because an eruption is basically imminent, explaining: “Yellowstone
explodes roughly every 600,000 years, and it is about 600,000 years since it
last exploded, which should cause us to sit up and take notice.”
