"...waning"

  That is maybe the most informative one-word comment I have ever seen. Thanks.

  I've seen multiple reports recently that clearly state that in the best professional opinion of the geologists who study Yellowstone, there is no realistic danger of it erupting in the foreseeable future. The USGS has [0] a very brief but clear and informative FAQ on this topic. Most notable in that: "The rhyolite magma chamber beneath Yellowstone is only 5-15% molten (the rest is solidified but still hot), so it is unclear if there is even enough magma beneath the caldera to feed an eruption." So yes, it is waning. [0] https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/yellowstone-overdue-eruption-when-will-yellowstone-erupt https://www.usgs.gov/faqs/yellowstone-overdue-eruption-when-...

    The parent comment was made when the initial title had "waning" cut off, due to length.

      Ah! How silly! Then I apologize; by the time I came by, the title was complete, and the comment sounded exactly like someone who expects Yellowstone is ready to erupt tomorrow.
