I don't like to do sensational. But this seems important, particularly if you live within range of the possible eruption of the volcano at Yellowstone National Park. There are many links within the story that supports this claim, which was originally reported in the L.A. Times (http://www.latimes.com/science/sciencenow/la-sci-sn-yellowstone-helium-degassing-2014). This is what happens when you abuse the Earth - she reacts! Oh, Mother Earth will forgive you - then she is going to kick your ass. It's fairly logical. How much can She endure without sending out the wake-up call - stop the raping and pillaging of the planet. She is sacred. She is your Mother. For real; this is not some new-age feel good idea. It is the reality. So for now our job is to send prayers and light to that area to quell any activity that might be damaging. -S.C.-

February 19, 2014 — (TRN) — Some worrying developments are taking place at the Super Volcano located beneath Yellowstone National Park; the kind of developments that were seen shortly before other volcanoes erupted. Not only was there a sudden rise in the elevation of the ground, and development of new cracks, but a gas called Helium-4, a very rare type of Helium, has begun coming out of the surface. It is the presence of this gas that has scientists quite concerned. If the Yellowstone Super Volcano were to erupt, it would be 2,000 times bigger than the eruption of Mount St. Helens in the 1980′s. Everything within 500 miles would be dead or destroyed within minutes, 2/3rds of the entire United States would be covered in volcanic ash and the climate of the entire planet would cool within a month. On top of that, just this past week, the largest earthquake in the US took place just a few miles from Yellowstone proving hot magma is on the move.
Here’s what has scientists concerned:
Since late summer 2013, the Yellowstone GPS network has tracked a small ” ground deformation episode” in north-central Yellowstone National Park.
During the past five months, the NRWY GPS station has recorded about 3.5 cm (1.4 in) of uplift (the ground is rising) and about 1 cm (0.4 in) of southeastward ground movement, relative to a stable reference station north of the Park.
