+1000. WHEN, not if, this happens, the explosion is expected to 2500x greater than that of Mt. St. Helens in 1980 and the ash cloud will cool the Earth by 20-30 degrees in a matter of weeks. Nothing we do to combat global warming over hundreds of years will have anything close to the effect that this caldera eruption will have in a few weeks. IIRC, it blows every 600k years and is 40k yrs. overdue now. It's just insane how arrogant humans are in thinking we can control this stuff and how important we are.
