It would be a lot easier to get a reservation at the Old Faithful Inn. The bad news is that the room would be in Oklahoma.

I'm guessing the last thing we'd be worrying about would be politics and it would kill illegal immigration instantly...

It would be called “the worst instance of global warming based racism in the Common Era”.

Oh, and Donald Trump.

Watch, eventually he will have caused “Global Warming”.

It would end the war on women because there wouldn’t be any left. Or men. Our luck, there’d probably be an enclave of queers in some underground bunker who would survive, but couldn’t carry on the species even though they were “married”.

I’m worried about the disparate impact on the LGBT community.

One of its most recent eruptions laid incandescent hot ash flow tuff south of Amarillo TX.

From a documentary I saw it would lead to an enormous loss of life and extremely bad consequences for Western Civilization.

I hope I’m remembering the documentary wrong, what is the consequences on agriculture and everything east of Wyoming....

Really not good let’s hope it waits for a while.

Your homeowner’s and car insurance likely does not cover supervolcano damage.

"studies suggest the region inside this circle might see more than 4 inches (10 centimeters) of ash on the ground, scientists reported Aug. 27, 2014, in the journal Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems."

With all DUE respect to these super scientists working for the USGS, I read the chart that is presented as being about >1,000 mm. I believe that that indicated ash depth is closer to 39 inches than it is to 4 inches. I used the darkest blue area of the chart. Are these the same guys that destroyed that river a few months back???

Local warming followed by global cooling.

Well, depending on the size of the eruption...

If it’s a big one, or even a medium one, within a week we’d have 50 million dead.

If it is a biggie, within a month 200-300 million dead.

A bug supervolcano is just as bad as an EMP. Maybe due to the SO2, even worse!
