@djrebelrichard I'm not exactly sure, but I'm guessing that since Yellowstone also sits on uranium reserves, if they dropped a nuke on it, it would probably make it more stable than anything else, because the chemical reactions would create an extremely large layer of glass. A friend of mine told me this, but I didn't believe him.

@AeonXero its not the eruption that kills, its the after affects. there would be no crops and prices would shoot the moon which would collapse civilization and kill billions.

Not necessarily. I mean, in some ways, you are right and some ways you are wrong. Toba ejected 2,800 km3 of ash and almost wiped out humanity. If you had that same 2,800 today, it might not be AS bad. Millions will die, but not extinction.

However! Toba has over 40,000 km3 of eruptable stuff under it and back then, it only erupted 2,800. Imagine if it erupted more than 5,000. The chances are low, but if it does, THAT'S extinction level. No technology would stop that.
