Europe is f*cked

[Remus]

Everyone has probably heard by now about the Yellowstone Super Volcano, however it looks like it's not the only one. I've just read about a super volcano in Italy that dwarfs the famous Mount Vesuvius, and it's showing worrying signs of "waking up".

You can read the article here:

I'll believe the danger when a peer-reviewed science journal mentions it. Until then, it's just survivalist wet dreams.

While a new eruption here would be more likely to result in the creation of another Vesuvius-like cone, the worst-case scenario could see it obliterating much of life in Europe

I'm so scared.

LOL, I didn't catch that the first time. Brilliant reporting, as always.

The supervolcano is definitely real, however whether it's really showing signs of erupting is unclear.

National Geographic article from 2009 confirming the supervolcano is real:
http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2009/10/091001-supervolcano-italy-global-cooling.html

The fact that after some searching, no other news site is talking about it, pretty much confirms that it's sensationalized BS yet again.

Ah, another addition to the list of things which will kill us all.

Yawn.

I remain unconcerned by this, Yellowstone, the Canary Islands blowing up, asteroids or anything else. Especially when the Daily Fail is the one doing the sensationalizing. Next they'll be saying its all the fault of immigrants and gypsies.

If you read the Nat Geo article it says that the Italian supervolcano in question is "fossilized" and "extinct" and that it's interesting because studying it lets scientists better understand and predict the other supervolcanoes which can erupt again.

So yeah. 100% Daily Fail sensationalism.

2012, more like in the 2030s. asteroids are on their way guyes

Whatever, yur-rope. We in the U.S. have a super volcano that is the size of Texas. When ours goes off, everyone dies. EVERYONE DIES!

Weapons of mass destruction my ass. We have a weapon of total destruction.

America, f*** yeah, coming to end your world with giant super volca-noes!

They are watching it because it could destroy life on Mars as we know it. Oh wait.

 

[McGooTheWise]

So that's how it happened... Makes sense... everything's covered with dust too...

Nevermind, Europe. You guys have to stop the volcano! Do you want to end up like mars?
