Yellowstone Super-Eruption Threat Debunked

GennyCream writes "The Internet has been all a-buzz with tin-foil-hat geeks have been in a tizzy over supposed government coverups of a soon-to-come super eruption in Yellowstone (especially see The Shadow Confederacy, but also Rense.com, or BlackVault for entertaining examples). I found an article on ATSNN.com (the Above Top Secret News Network) that cut the paranoia with the proverbial knife and went straight to the source. Their interview with USGS Yellowstone scientists covers all the angles and should inspire the mad-hatters to find something else to fear (for now)."

    are /. articles really getting more and more brash in their wording? What's this with tin-foil-hats and proverbial knifes and all? I've never heard of this Above Top thing before?

    Anyway, let the debate begin!

    Considering that this one isn't about to blow, there's only one more we have to watch out for, that other Hilton sister.
