High concentrations of CO2 are recorded in Yellowstone, which may indicate an imminent eruption of a supervolcano. Satellite images show that a large amount of carbon dioxide is emitted in the volcano area. High CO2 levels around volcanoes are usually a harbinger of an imminent eruption, a sign of pressure build-up deep below the earth's surface.
In addition, there is a surge in seismic activity in Wyoming and in the supervolcano caldera region. Yellowstone last erupted 70,000 years ago, but a recent surge in seismic activity around the world may have accelerated processes in the bowels of its caldera.
If the volcano begins to erupt, it could lead to a global disaster, especially in the United States, where two-thirds of the country's territory will become uninhabitable. Ash clouds will literally cover the Sun, the US agricultural industry will be destroyed, and most of the country will be covered with a 10 centimeter layer of ash, making it impossible to grow crops and other crops.
In addition, the thick ash cloud will contribute to a rapid climate change and much of the planet will become cooler as a result of the lack of sunlight penetrating the earth through a thick curtain of ash clouds.
The concentration of CO2 is so high that the gas is already penetrating the surface. Fish are dying in rivers and, for example, the Yellowstone River was closed for visits due to the mass death of fish. Locals notice a change in the color of the water, which has turned dark green and smells bad. In addition, in some places, bubbles of gas rising to the surface of the water are visible.
