It will affect the whole world. Scientists say it will have enough of an ash cloud to cover a large portion of the atmosphere and block out almost all of the suns radiation. This will cause global temperatures to plummet

Is it cynical of me to think that we'll suddenly hear a shift from Al Gore towards, "Stop the global cooling crisis! Buy coal and Hummers for the good of our environment!"

"There is a feeling about an airport that no other piece of ground can have. No matter what the name of the country on whose land it lies, an airport is a place you can see and touch that leads to a reality that can only be thought and felt." - The Bridge Across Forever: A Love Story by Richard Bach

The Yellowstone volcano has the potential of killing millions of people in North America long before climate change will become a factor. Remember what happened to the valleys immediately surrounding Mt St Helens? The Yellowstone volcano could produce similar effects over much of the continual US (much of the area of land draining into the Mississippi). The Yellowstone caldera is so big it took most of a century for geologists to realize that most of the national park is a huge volcanic crater.
