Meh, there's a potential supervolcano in Bolivia that blows once every 300,000 years and it's been ~300,000 years since the last eruption.

Wait long enough and the world population should go down from 7+ billion to 7,000 people.

well we are at the max ammount of people that is world can handle. so what do we do now i mean we are going for critical mass and in the next 20 years we are going to run out of food becasue of all the me me or we can change the way we do things and start working together to fix the world and end hunger and war and all the other bad. but i do not see that happening any time soon and with the amount of people that we have right now i feel that we will double that in just a few short years and the infant death rate is goign down and out life span is going up so what is the only thing that could happen it can been seen

under the radar is where i fly i make my isk like very one

It's hardly of any consequence. This is my 15,772,249th incarnation. Cool

It may be quicker and more efficient for Chribba. Unfortunately he probably does not have access to the info required Sad

You're forgetting the super volcano that pretty much consists of all of Yellowstone National Park here in the US. That baby erupts every 600,000 years. The last eruption... 630,000 years ago.

EDIT:

If the super volcano (which is actually a caldera) blows up, expect about 1/3 to 1/2 of the US population to be either wiped out or trapped in ash.

We'll have plenty of warning as models predict that in the many many years before it would, the entire area would rise possibly as high as 1km above it's current elevation.

I'd like to think that if there was an impending extinction event in which we had years and years of warning we could make a pretty good jab at curbing the impact.

If we can drill 5 miles down to get oil, imagine the relief vents we could drill into the caldera if our very existence depended on it.
