If the Yellowstone volcano blows it sure will take people’s minds off of global warming. It would spew so much ash into the sky that the entire world could start heading back into an ice age. With all the farmland in USA covered in ash it’s quite possible that the world could starve. The disruption would be so great that America, as we know it, would not survive. It’s possible this could happen any day. The quakes and rising magma around Yellowstone have the experts concerned. Could God use a volcano to judge and punish a nation?

Jacob Lowenstern, a researcher with the US Geological Survey in Vancouver, Washington, previously detailed how the last catastrophic incident may have played out.
He said: “Typically when these eruptions begin, they begin from a certain event, then they get larger as they move along the fracture system.
“The entire sequence that formed the last Yellowstone eruption may have taken as little as two weeks.”
This created an eruptive column so colossal that it covered about 60 per cent of the US in a thick layer of ash.
Should the same happen again, the ground around Yellowstone National Park would rise upwards forming a swarm of earthquakes.
Then, following the eruption, enormous pyroclastic flows would blast their way across the park.
This mixture of ash, lava and superheated gas exceed temperatures of 1,000C and can move at speeds of up to 300mph.
They are predicted to spread more than 100 miles out from Yellowstone, burying states like Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Colorado in three feet of life-extinguishing volcanic ash.
