Yellowstone does not appear to have the total destruction radius stated above. Perhaps 200 miles not 2000. If you can survive the initial couple of years, it should, with planning, be possible to recover to what I consider an acceptable level...but then I think like Jack too much sometimes. Besides other than me who is going to be planning for such a thing?
I have red articles claiming that within 2000 miles nearly all higher life forms would be gone due to breathing in fine dust leading to lung destruction.
There are fossil records supporting that scenario.
So my claim of total destruction in physical sense was misleading.
BTW,
I am still convinced that Yellowstone's blast would exceed combined power of all nuclear arsenals by an order of magnitude at least, may be more...

I really do pity the modern promoters of nukes. They are facing massive problems of credibility. An earlier generation of promoters promised limitless, perfectly safe energy that would be so cheap, it wouldn't even need to be metered. Things did not quite turn out that way.
It is surprising how similar their claims are today. Good luck promoting this miserable industry. When you give up on this, maybe you can help the poor suckers trying to pomote "clean coal."
The Lava Creek eruption is a prime suspect in a worldwide catastrophe that almost drove the young human race to extinction. Scientists who study DNA, the elemental building blocks of human genetics, can trace changes in human DNA back to about 600,000 years ago. At that point, there seems to be a mystical starting point to what has become today's human DNA pool. There is a theory that this 600,000-year-old bottleneck in human DNA is a fingerprint of an enormous catastrophe that occurred at that time; 95 to 99 percent of all human life died off. The few humans who survived, and it could have been as few as 5,000 on the entire planet, became the breeding stock from which the rest of us have descended.
