Humanity man survive, but not many. You see, the ash that would fall all over the globe will let out gases that will fry your brain and create cement when inhaled. The falling ash will be much denser than snow, and eventually roofs would colapse because of the weight. There would be no sun because ash clouds would cover it. There would be no water because the ash would turn it to mud. There would be flooding because as the mud rises, so does the water, even ocean waters. It would be difficult to live with barely any food, cold weather, and polluted air. It is far worse than you guys are thinking. Humanity man survive, but not many.

Geologists say an eruption of the Yellowstone super volcano would dwarf those of Mount St. Helens, Krakatoa and others that have occurred during the last few dozen millenia. Due to the effects on global climate, agriculture would be devastated and many people would starve." So because there is no agriculture, there would be no humanity? Sounds like backward thinking that ignores over 2 million years of pre-history. People would survive, agriculture would not, that is the flaw in your thinking. Agriculture and humanity are separate, not together. People are still living a way of life that isn't agricultural, one can look at the San !Kung or the Hadza for an example, at least those who aren't being exterminated by this system that you people look towards reforming with naive ideas. Humanity will have to revert back to living a way of life that is without agriculture if it is to survive, supervolcano eruption or not. It is likely that the eruption of yellowstone would put the global climate back to where it would naturally be, and not at where agriculture (and by extension, civilization) has put it at through climate change. “If it were to blow, humanity might not survive.
