Whoa, had no idea it was that large. Makes you wonder what would happen with the yellow stone caldera.

Lots of people would be gone. www.vox.com/2014/9/5/6108169/yellowstone-supervolcano-eruptionHere, I could see up to an inch of ash fall. Probably wipe out the total crop production in the USA for a year or more, depending on how long the ash stayed airborne. Then there's the power grid to think about. Transportation would be severely curtailed too. |

Check out the slightly visible shock wave moving really fast ahead of the cloud

Read somewhere that one Volcano eruption causes more global warming than man has to date.

Stuff like this is why I don't put much faith in the green deal promoters claiming that humans are making a big impact regarding climate change. The earth is only 30% land and 90% of the population is concentrated on 10% of that land. One big event like shown above pretty quickly tells me that we humans are not that big of a deal in the grand scheme.
Do we pollute and make a general mess of many of the places we live .... Yes. Mother nature or the man upstairs is still in charge of the show.

It is true that gigantic volcanic eruptions are a problem in the cooling sense, because of the gases and ash thrown into the atmosphere. A tremendous eruption in 536 AD is widely considered to have greatly damaged the Byzantine ( Eastern Roman ) Empire and lead to problems such as crop failures, famine, and plague the world over---even damaging the Maya in the New World. The Tambora eruption in 1815 ( a blast equivalent to 33 billion tons of TNT that ruptured eardrums 40 miles distant ) caused the "year without a summer" in America and the novel "Frankenstein" in Europe.
That said, I'm not entirely convinced that the C02 produced by a gigantic eruption, in terms of it's long term effects, or lack thereof, can be as easily explained away as it often is.
A glimpse at the effects of huge volcanic eruptions will make you pray for a little global warming. Cooling is far, far more destructive and in a shorter time. In 1816 people had survival skills. They were less urban, less helpless. imagine a year (or more ) with no growing season in 2022.

Imagine the newsies doom and gloom predictions for an event like that. Look at the doom and gloom that they hyped for the latest winter storm on the East Coast.

Another view from a stationary camera, I hope I did it correctly.

Looks cool. Just curious how after that black cloud of ash and soot hit the camera it was still able to get such a clear image at the end.
