DOOOOOM!!!!

I don't know how to put this exactly, but it's something that has to be taken into account. Just a day before (see previous day's post) there's a comet that's now the largest object in the solar system, and the very next day the Doomsday Global Seed Vault begins cooling its temperature in order to preserve seed stock in case of a catastrophe which destroys the worlds staple crops.

the munny quote is something like this...
"Built deep inside a mountain, it aims to safeguard the world's crops from future disasters, such as nuclear wars, asteroids or dangerous climate change."

I think "asteroids" could easily encompass "COMETS" as well, and no matter which struck our fair planet, we'd probably be looking at some serious "dangerous climate change" as well.

Anyhoo, it's possible that our scientists have a way of tracking the course and trajectory of THE LARGEST OBJECT IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM (you really should read the next post down if you still don't know what I'm talking about) and figure out a way to blow it into atoms with nuclear missiles or something clever like that. But maybe I'm just placing too much faith in "science" and "nuclear missiles" and maybe, just maybe, there's gonna be a big smash that'll rock this planet to the bone, and we're gonna need seeds two years down the line when everything on the planet is dead!

YIKES!

Of course, they could just be worried about geology.

(since I don't know much about the American Chronicle and how long the link'll stay active I'll post some juicy tidbits)

The last major eruption at Yellowstone was 640,000 years ago, which created a caldera some 40 miles in width, but these have happened on a fairly regular basis over the last two million years, and it could be said that the next is overdue...

Robert Smith, a geophysics professor at the University of Utah who co-authored the recent study agreed “Calderas go up and down” but “occasionally they burp”.

A large “burp”, as Robert Smith puts it, could produce catastrophic effects for the world population and a similar eruption of the Supervolcano in Toba (Indonesia) 75,000 years ago is believed to have wiped out 60% of the human population. On that occasion the Toba Supervolcano ejected almost three times as much material as the Yellowstone eruption did 640,000 years ago. However, the Yellowstone caldera can do much worse and this occurred 2.2 million years ago.

Clearly I'm stoked that Robert Smith is also an expert on calderas, but I don't feel like I'm getting really exact information at this stage of the game. At least not in the way the Robert Smith once nailed exactly the information my heart was sending my brain many years ago.



Well anyway, Happy Friday!

P.S. I'm sure we're gonna be fine!
