*********************************
The Yellowstone Supervolcano in the US is one of the most feared volcanos in the world, and scientists believe we are right to be cautious. Although here are no immediate signs the caldera in Wyoming is about to blow, experts believe it could erupt one day as one is said to be overdue, and the consequences will be catastrophic. And it will not be the initial explosion which will put an end to life on Earth, although it would kill an estimated 87,000 people immediately and make two-thirds of the USA immediately uninhabitable, but the aftermath of it.
Geologists believe the ash from the eruption would encircle the globe in as little as 48 hours, and make temperatures drop by a minimum of two degrees celsius for as long as 20 years.
The cooling of the Earth could be catastrophic for the planet’s fragile ecosystem, kicking off a chain reaction of extinctions.
Wars could ensue as we fight for remaining resources, as Ms Woods explains: “Country boundaries would shift, the ‘haves’ would be warred upon by all of the ‘have nots’. And there’d be much more ‘have nots’ than ‘haves’.
“Governments would fall, and it’d be every person for themselves.
“In short, Earth would not be a pleasant place to live.”
