I couldn't find any other pictures I liked or didn't have weird quirks (like comic sans on predicted national ash falls in the event of an eruption). It would be a bad day for earth, and the fallout in political and economic spheres could be devastating. The environment would suffer global nuclear winter to varying extents, but we'd all feel it.

It'll be costly but I'm still not convinced it'd kill us off.East coast of the US will get an inch deep dusting of ash.
Procreation.Which would be a cop-out answer if it wasn't said by someone like me.

Yellowstone is at least 10,000 years away from erupting.
