Don't know but once everything calmed down, the soil would be incredible. We'd see a huge increase in plant productivity.

>>9531905
marginally less fucked than if we let nonwhites come freely to civilized countries

>>9531905
End of civilization since the sun will be blocked out for millenia. The eruption from this volcano has more kinetic energy than the dinosaur meteor impact.

>>9531983
I guess we can say for certain that mass extinctions and potentially a huge decline in human population would happen, right?

Most of the u.s would be fucked but the world would be fine

the earth would be nice and toasty for a while and I wouldn't have to shovel my driveway full of snow every fucking day.

>>9531905
>how fucked is humanity?
Humanity as a whole is fine. North America is fucked. The Northern Hemisphere has a mini ice age.
The climate of the southern hemisphere would be mostly unaffected. Not much ash would cross the equator. Who knows what the impact to society would be.

>>9532048
Implying those two eventualities can co-exist.

>>9532048
No retard the colossal amount of vaporized rock that gets into the atmosphere would cause a volcanic winter lasting over 30,000 years.

You could expect:

>skyrocketing price of food as global agriculture breaks down due to ash cloud
>global starvation for those who cannot afford food
>resource wars over arable land
>massive displacement, global refugee crisis as people leave the hardest hit areas
>extreme disruption of the globalized economy - every day amenities become luxuries

best case scenario: most world governments remain stable if they handle the crisis promptly and efficiently. life would be difficult and many people will have died. likely setback in growth of technology as resources and labor are diverted to sustenance

worst case scenario: complete breakdown in global order

>>9532155
South America would be better off, most of their wealth is exported to the north, and you know, it can't be understated how awesome of a job the CIA did at destabilizing the entire region.
If the human race continues it's in South America, Africa, and Australia - god help us.

Tambora is 1815 caused worldwide famine and an entire year without sun in a lot of countries, it even changed the pattern of oceanic flow and wind.

Yellowstone is colossal and far, FAR more powerful than Tambora, it would certainly cause hundreds of millions to die in the first few years and potentially a billion or more mid to long-term due to climate change, the mass extinctions in species of fauna and flora that are guaranteed to happen and food in general becoming a thousandfold more expensive.

>>9531905
North America is fucked, buried under a foot of volcanic ash. Other nations can survive, if they immediately draft all able-bodied people and start constructing giant hydroponics towers and nuclear powerplants that will feed the population through the giant ice age about to come. Nuclear power alone cannot save humanity though, as only a select few countries will have access to necessary fuel in the coming decades, so all research is diverted to nuclear fusion. Billions will die, especially in the less developed countries, but a good percentage of Western Europeans will survive.

What will actually happen: Wars and famines until human civilization dies an icy death.

>>9532280
I also forgot the guaranteed civil wars and chaos worldwide, with potential for a 4th world war for resources since survival would be on the line for billions.

>>9532280
>Tambora
You mean the one located directly on the equator?
If/when yellowstone goes, it's strictly a northern hemisphere problem. That ash will not move south of the equator because of how the prevailing winds work.
All the people in the southern hemisphere need to worry about it how to machine gunning the refugees from the north at their border.

>>9531921

Less fucked than Nuclear War

>>9532353
Wouldn't the drastic temlerature differences in the hemispheres cause a change in wind patterns? Right now it is based off of one being much more exposed to the sun while the other is underexposed due to planetary tilt. After Yellowstone, the debris in the atmosphere would reduce temperatures even during northern hemisphere summer. This would create a huge change in the global temperature gradients. Would that not alter atmospheric pressure and winds?

Should I be worried about Yellowstone erupting in my lifetime?

>>9532500
Nah

unironically cryptocurrency could become implemented worldwide if America falls as a global power

Is there any feasible way to prevent a major eruption or at least negate the consequences of one (let's pretend congress would actually fund a science)?

>>9533309
No. 90% of humanity will die out. Realistically speaking only top secret military or government groups that have been actively researching and planning for such a doomsday scenario would survive. Assuming if an ice age does happen, pretty much every single "western" 1st world country will be fucked with eternal sub zero temperatures, and any remaining survivors would migrate to countries near the equator. Depending on how we treated shitskins and refugees during our height of power, they could either allow us into their countries or build walls to keep us out.

>>9533309
It would require so many resources to actually stop an eruption like that that it would actually be cheaper to just restart humanity honestly.

Not so fast Aussies

A Yellowstone eruption would destabilize the climate on entire Earth.

Droughts in Australia. Ice age in Europe.
Ashes covering North America.

It would cause Crop loss in entire world.

and famine & civil war in Africa (Africa won't change that much since there is Famine & civil war there already)

Not THAT fucked.
Expect for the americans. They dun goofed, their entire continent will be bedridden with famines and general anarchy. Countries where winters are cold will most likely freeze to death. Australia, southern africa, the middle east, the balkans and parts of central europe would be fine.

I think that New zealand is the safest place.

Since Australia would be hit by droughts.

>Wouldn't the drastic temlerature differences in the hemispheres cause a change in wind patterns?
Unless it stops the earth from spinning coriolis effect means the rotating bodies of air stay locked in their hemispheres.
It's the reason you don't see a hurricanes and typhoons crossing the equator. Obviously some is going to bleed over because air mixes, but it's going to be negligible to the southern hemisphere.
The social collapse is another can of worms, but ecologically the effects south of the equator are going to be negligible.

>>9534264
