Oh no! All that dust on the furniture!

On a serious note, is Yellowstone due for an eruption? I did read something a while ago about this

Or has Goreball Warming/ Climate Change hysteria jumped the shark?

Actually, Yellowstone is about due, though it’s not exactly on a precise schedule. It appears to erupt about once every 600,000 years and we’re at something like 630,000 since the last one (all this from memory). You may have seen some recent articles on earthquake swarms that have been detected there in recent weeks. That always renew discussion of an eruption.

I haven’t heard any involvement from Algore in conjunction with this lately.
