Yellowstone Nation Park

After I answered Spirit Scribe in the post above, I found this and I think it is something we all should know about, The Big Question is this,,,,,, Which angency knows better about the condition of Yellowstone Super Volcano and the possibility of an Eruption.
NASA or the Geologist at the national park? 

NASA has been told to back off from its plan to stop the Yellowstone supervolcano from erupting by drilling into it.

A geologist at the national park said the proposal could have dire consequences, including killing scores of animals.


The warning comes after the US space agency revealed its options to prevent the volcano from exploding, including drilling into the bottom to release heat from it.

Fears were immediately raised the “risky” plan could actually backfire and trigger an eruption – potentially triggering a deadly nuclear winter.
Despite warning something must be done about the Yellowstone threat, Brian Wilcox, an ex-member of the NASA Advisory Council on Planetary Defence, warned the plan could cause an eruption.

And now Dr Jefferson Hungerford, who works at Yellowstone, has warned NASA scientists to stay away from the volcano.


He said: “Messing with a mass that sits underneath our dynamic Yellowstone would potentially be harmful to life around us.


“It would potentially be a dangerous thing to play around with.”
And he questioned whether the drilling could even work, saying “we’re not there scientifically”.

Dr Hungerford also said there is no need for anything to be done at Yellowstone, adding: “We won’t see [an eruption]. Very likely we will never see it.”


Earth has 20 known supervolcanoes, 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.

So,,,,,,, With NASA's Concern about an Eruption and the Local USGS More concerned that NASA will create a problem and we do have a lot of activity at Yellowstone,,,, Should we just Leave It Alone or allow NASA to try and relieve some Pressure and postpone or halt the Nuclear Winter?
It's Going To Blow, the real question is,,,,,, How Soon?
