Eating fish contaminated by Fukushima is probably ok

This thread has an amazing start. Kind of sucks it was made so early in 2014--I feel this will really hurt it at the 2104 thread awards

While that's true, supervolcanic eruptions happen frequently including the Yellowstone caldera. What are less frequent are the huge episodes of supervolcano flows, like the Siberian traps.

If your threshold for a supervolcano is the largest volcanic event since the Cambrian explosion then your sights are pretty high indeed.

Edit: Yellowstone isn't going to blow anytime soon; the magma is way the fuck down.

No one knows, but claiming any sort of cycle on a sample size of two is pretty dumb.

Well that's tad for you.

He declared Fukushima a global disaster after reading an article about a guy taking a pair of ocean cruises, few years apart. There was less fish on the second cruise and some floating trash.

Here's a fish they caught just offshore from Fukushima

I was being facetious. My point wasn't about the minimum threshold of a super-volcanic event, but rather that one of the most catastrophic spots in pre-history erupted frequently over a period of a million years, then stopped and hasn't erupted again in 250 million. But somehow, 3 super eruptions in 2.1m years, with an irregular interval, is somehow proof that we're overdue for another super eruption at Yellowstone.

In other words, Tad is stupid.
