Hundreds of small earthquakes at Yellowstone National Park in recent weeks have been an unsettling reminder for some people that underneath the park’s famous geysers and majestic scenery lurks one of the world’s biggest volcanoes: the Yellowstone Caldera.
Begin the countdown, begin the evacuations, this may be one of the signs of the apocalypse. To give an indication of what a supervolcano is capable of, when the Lake Toba supervolcano erupted 76,000 years ago it plunged the Earth into a volcanic winter, eradicating about 60% of the human population.

Even if you hear about an eruption in Yellowstone, don’t panic. They have “normal” volcanic eruptions there periodically, and the odds are 99.999% that, if there’s an eruption, it won’t destroy the US.
On the plus side, if the eruption is the right size, it could increase the effects of global cooling for a time when it is desperately needed.
I think, in the next few decades, we’re going to have lots of cooling.
