>>I’m guessing that the human race would survive. But it would be a fraction of the number that it is now. The supervolcano would wipe out a majority of the cropland of the U.S. right away, and the following climate change would wipe out most of the rest of the world’s soon after, and for many years to come.
The actual scientific predictions show less than an inch of ash east of the Mississippi River. It will be a rough couple of years as land is repurposed or the ash is plowed in, but the human race will survive.
Most of the worst predictions use the same assumptions that climate change Warmistas use: that 1 foot = 1 inch = 1 mm = 1 cm.

The Tambora Volcano back in 1815 (the year without summer - well, 1916) had 12 cubic miles of ash. The largest event at Yellowstone was 525 cubic miles of ash. WOW!
In one article describing it the writer was saying how WHEN Yellowstone erupts, lots of people from the US will be lined up at the Mexican border. (They can ALWAYS find a way to plug there Liberal crap - can’t they!?)
I’m not sure how certain it is that it WILL erupt. I would guess it would, but I’m not sure it is like active fault zones that we know will slip again some day.
