Yellowstone is a real possible game changer. It is very hard to predict when something like that will go off. IF it does, I read that about 25% of the states and some of Canada will be covered in so much dust and debris that people will suffocate by breathing in too much debris. I do not think it will end life though.
Rather we would all probably start having hydroponic gardens inside our homes. Nuclear power would become king for awhile. Like a decade or so. We would probably also develop industrial sized air scrubbers.{I picture mega fans just running non stop to catch debris and soot and other materials from the air. Like thousands of them in each town. This would be a full time industry in itself and create many jobs...The air scrubbers union...lol}
Anyway, end of life? Only for those in the immediate area...say 500 kms? I haven't looked up the numbers but i think that is a fair estimate.
Hydroponic gardens...development of air cleaning technology. i would imagine a bunch of other innovative processes.
Scary? yes. However, i wouldn't be shocked if it pushed us way further ahead.
Maybe we could finally get a colony living off world.
