Reports bison ‘fleeing’ Yellowstone amid fears quake could trigger eruption of park’s supervolcano April 3, 2014





And sadly, as they leave the protection of Yellowstone they're targeted by hunters.

Scientists should know if it is safe to return to Yellowstone or not.

Oh, wait ...

... nevermind.

I just thought of something.

I love articles like this. They have a flashy, doomsday headline. The article cites random "survivalists" and youtube videos and then, at the bottom, in the last paragraph is this:

"However, the US Geological Survey downplayed risk of Yellowstone Caldera erupting, saying the park gets thousands of earthquakes every year, and that helium emissions do not indicate an impending eruption."

So in the LAST paragraph they interview the people that are actually monitoring the caldera and hey, what do you know? They don't think anything is going to happen.

This story is just looking for clicks.

We're lucky they said anything at all.

They waited until the Y2K scare was past, and corporations had spent millions, before saying that the earth was safe.

There were only 2 things to fear with y2k.

First a huge upswing in date triggered virus attacks and second that we would lose too many programmers who laughed themselves to death after reading absurd predictions.

Laughed themselves all the way to the bank, did they?

They did the same thing with the recent LA Earthquakes. The media *did not* try to suggest that the overall stress was being released in the LA basin as a result of these smaller energy releases, so it was probably *less likely* that a major quake would happen there. Oh no. According to the media, the tremors were the first sign of impending doom for LA. Holy Cow! If you've lived in Southern California for a few years, you get used to the small ones after awhile.

I think it's a 24 hour media thing. They don't have enough real news so they just make stuff up as they go and *become* the news themselves.

When Ol' faithful stops being faithful, I might start to worry. Until then I'd say it's pretty much business as usual.
