Damn! We can't let that be ruined!

Is that saracasm?  Because it is an issue.  A cluster of trees in the park of every city ain't gonna make of O₂ for the human race to live on.  Then there's all sorts of other issues.  What's gonna keep farm plots capable of actually growing anything?  Where will we get our seafood?

Meh, in a few years time Yellowstone will blow its load. More Co2 then ever produced by humans in all of history in mere minutes. Plus, we will probably all die then too, so, who's gonna save the earth then?

Um, Yellowstone Volcano is inactive.  It's not gonna explode.  If it was, it would be getting much more attention from the US government.  Also, with each previous eruption that occured (of any volcano) more gas from under the crust is released, and matter doesn't spawn at random.  At some point they're gonna stop blowing up.

Supervolcano btw (can't be compared with just a "mere" volcano, its a thousand time worse and even the effects of an exploding large "normal" volcano could be noticed globally), and it isn't inactive cause it never is, ever. It has been "exploding" every 600.000 years on average, and from my recollection the last explosion occurred about 628.000 years ago.
The landscape also drastically changed during just a few years, bulging a meter or so on some places, even enough to reshape a lake thats located there.
Although admittedly it could still take a 1000 years easily, it will eventually happen though and there's (currently) nothing we could do about it. So if it happens tomorrow, which it has as much chance as happening in a 1000 years, then we'll be in deep shit, knee deep.

And THAT'S why it's not getting much attention: no matter what we try to do, it can explode whenever and there is absolutly nothing we can do about it.

We could just pump water onto it!  As a bonus, we'll get a lot of obsidian!

Yeah, we could try and do that. *starts packing plump helmet seeds and a copper pick to dig myself a bunker far far away*

Hey, at least I didn't say we could power them with waterwheels placed behind the pumps.

Yeah well, methane is already bubbling up from the seafloor and the last time that happened just about everything went extinct so we're fucked either way

The last time there was a mass extinction humans didn't even exist.  We can't know that.  Besides, stuff lives in the ocean.  There's could be something down there that makes methane.

Well, I was thinking something that might be deeper and rarer, but sure, why not?
