We know that if a caldeira like Yellowstone would blow, we can't really do anything to either prevent it from happening or to limit the outcome of the event.


Who says we cannot prevent it from happening?
Maybe at our current state, we cannot, but that does not mean that it is impossible, it is this type of thinking that is holding back our race.

It is always best to study, watch, and record every move that a volcano of this magnitude makes.
Imo let thorm keep attentively watching it, you never know, he might actually pick up on a anomaly that scientists miss, or simply may have misinterpreted.

yes of course we will study every volcanoe (even ones dormant for centuries). holding back human race? do you understand the magnitude of these explosions? we couldnt control them in 100 years. be much easier to land on the moon and start a new life if it came donw to it. unfortunately it'd be similar to the titanic; the middleclass and lower class would be doomed to axphyxiation/melt.

preventing it from happening and stopping it from happening is two completely different things. ofc if it went off it would not be stopped/contained, although, there is research using haarp technologies that has lead scientist to theories that we could contain the ash fallout from it, at least shorten the area of the fallout.
