Scary stuff this end of the world thing, but this 2012 thing, could it not just be that Microsoft finally make a OS and Browser which works for 4month without needing a critical security patch?

Your missing the point though - that goes for ANY volcano - not just supervolcano's - like they say they can tell from Harmonic ringing if there is going to be an eruption, but they still cant say how big or when, wether that be Mount Etna or a Supervolcano.

How do they know its every 100,000years this planet is cooling down aint it?? if so then it could be 100,000 years then 150,000years then 250,000years, we just DONT KNOW.

I am interested more in WHY they are telling us this, or is the BBC desperate for stories?

What has worried me about this is that, there really is a chance some major world crisis could happen in my lifetime, and keeping a supply of seval gallons of water might not be a bad thing....

We don't know when it will happen just that its due to, the same as the polar switch etc etc... one of these things is bound to happen..

where doomed i tell ya doomed

allieyoung666 · 14-03-2005, 22:25

i missed the first part but saw this, yellowstone park has been the subject of debate for many years, scientists have been plying the doom line because its due an eruption, but is 'doubtful' to happen in our lifetime.

simalerly any form of other disease can quite wipe alot of if not all of us out.

so live your life to the maximum for aslong as you can!
