Much More is Coming
Between 2005 and 2013 cosmic dust will increase by another factor of 3. Thus making the second increase three times more intense. We are in for a rough ride. Of greatest concern is volcanic activity which has increased 500% over the past 100 years. The timing of this cosmic dust increase is disturbing because the usually dependable (every 600,000 years) Yellowstone super volcano (30 x 50 miles wide) is 40,000 years late.
I blame Bush.

I bet Cheney’s got his KBR flunkies surrounding the place right now with dustpans and brooms.

I thought there haven’t been [m]any sunspots and we were all going to freeze.

Front page of that guy’s website proves, beyond a doubt, that he’s Wayne W. Dyer.

Gawd, that’s a depressing site. How does he go on? With such knowledge, why doesn’t he take a rocket and fly toward some comet’s tail for safety?

Me, if I wanna worry about some really, really unlikely shit, choose to worry that Sirius (the star, not the satellite radio company) will choose MY lifetime to go supernova, sterilizing everything for 20 light-years or so.

It was that Jack Bauer! He got into my orogenous zone, and I just couldn’t resist him… Lava, come back to me!

There would be no hernias without women, so I guess payback’s a bitch.

My wife asked what would the first indication that the Yellowstone caldera had cut loose; I thought on it for a minute and decided that our first clue would be the elk raining down all over our yard here in north central Utah.

… the usually dependable (every 600,000 years) Yellowstone super volcano (30 x 50 miles wide) is 40,000 years late.
Hmmm, I read a magazine article and watched two different cable television documentaries on the subject and they all claimed “approximately every 650,000 years”. And if you examine when the Yellowstone eruptions actually occured, that “approximately” covers a large variation.
The Yellowstone caldera is actually over a hot spot in the mantle that continent is moving across: 10 million years from now, it’ll be in Minnesota.

The Yellowstone Caldera; and now Sirius. There’s also the New Madrid fault. With all of these worries over things I can’t control what should I do?
I think I’ll keep carrying on as usual.

The long-term effects would be even more devastating. The thousands of cubic kilometers of ash that would shoot into the atmosphere could block out light from the sun, making global temperatures plummet. This is called a nuclear winter. … If the temperatures plummet by the 21 degrees they did after the Sumatra eruption the Yellowstone super volcano eruption could truly be an extinction level event.
Sounds to me like we need to be preheating the joint up as much as we can before that shit gets here.

Na uh. This means a new ice age.
Nit picky, I know.

Wasn’t the ocean supposed to belch up a mass-extinction-causing methane explosion by now?

I got that, but I figure if we can global warm the place up a dozen degrees or so before that thing pops, that 21 degree drop won’t be all that bad. I am thinking about trading for a Peterbilt to commute in, always wanted one of those anyway.

How on earth could you link that idiot. He has no idea what he’s talking about. Cosmic dust leading to increased vulcanism? Where is the evidence?

If you like, Andrew. I prefer Dial, myself.

Could it be that the increase in seismic activity recently is due to the recent increase in seismometers? Hardly reliable data.
