Also, depend on prevelent wind, depend where ash go. Big chance that such huge explosion disrupt gulf stream and thus not spread as far, and when do spread it stay in north hemesphere, thus south still have light and grow grain in Australia and Africa and South America. Equater is huge buffer wall that keep north wind from south. Mass extinction not happen 600,000 years ago, not happen now. Everyone run with hands in air screaming end of world, it is no end of world.

Everyone run with hands in air screaming end of world, it is no end of world. Probably not. It'll just be that population "adjustment" the Malthusians have been asking for. The question is whether it'll be better to survive or die and get the misery over quickly. Surviving a disaster like that will be one rough Darwinian adventure.
Yellowstone is dangerous with worldwide implications but you might do well to study the volcanic situation in Kamchatka, a little closer to your home. Look up volcanoes like Bezymianny, Karymsky, Klyuchevskoi, Avachinsky and others. Check out the Kuril Islands too.
