A big Carrington event would be nearly as destructive to humanity and is much more immediately likely. An asteroid strike would be next on the list. Both can be mitigated with current technology by degree. The Yellowstone caldera cannot.

Personnel at Intel’s fab in Portland had to scramble big time when St. Helens blew. That’d be noise compared to a major Yellowstone event. I believe few realize the size of the caldera.

It would seem we could drill holes to relieve the pressure. Another task for Elon's Boring company. Lots of holes. The cost would be a fraction of the destruction
