From Anthony Watts/WUWT:

Worrying: ‘Child of Krakatau’ volcano stirs to life in the Pacific


"An Indonesian volcano known as the “child” of the legendary Krakatoa erupted on Thursday, spewing a plume of ash high into the sky as molten lava streamed down from its summit.

Anak Krakatau—a small volcanic island that emerged from the ocean a half century after Krakatoa’s deadly 1883 eruption—has rumbled back to life in recent weeks, spitting flaming rocks and ash from its crater."

The Mother of Volcanos

" Yellowstone doesn’t just have a volcano, Yellowstone is a volcano. And it’s active. A plume of molten rock that rises beneath the park creates one of the world’s largest active volcanoes, and we can see evidence all around us in the form of geysers and hot springs. " 

"  The most recent major eruption, 640,000 years ago, caused the ground to collapse into the magma reservoir, leaving a giant caldera. Subsequent lava flows filled in much of the caldera, and it is now measured at 30 x 45 miles. "

Yellowstone has blown at least 6 times previously as the plate slides over the hot spot and maybe it's starting to blow again.  There is some sort of event that triggers it.  In my opinion, that event is the polarity reversal, that appears to be underway.  The Earth is trying to maintain it's egg shape which resuts in crustal shifting that appears to be underway.  The entire rim of fire has lit up in the last 10 years.  The crustal shifting has begun. The polarity reversal can take 300 years to 1500 years.  Sometimes it occilates.  We are just starting the very beginning of it.

“1816, The Year without a Summer”

http://www.branchcollective.org/?ps_articles=gillen-darcy-wood-1816-the-year-without-a-summer


"The so-called “Year Without a Summer”—1816—belongs to a three-year period of severe climate deterioration of global scope caused by the eruption of Mt. Tambora in Indonesia in April, 1815. With plummeting temperatures, and disruption to major weather systems, human communities across the globe faced crop failures, epidemic disease, and civil unrest on a catastrophic scale


To be alive in the years 1816-18, almost anywhere in the world, meant to be hungry. Across the globe during the so-called “Year Without a Summer”—which was, in fact, a three-year climate crisis—harvests perished in frost and drought or were washed away by flooding rains


1816’s cold summer was the most significant meteorological event of the nineteenth century. The global climate emergency period of 1816-18, as a whole, offers us a clear window onto a world convulsed by weather anomalies, with human communities everywhere struggling to adapt to sudden, radical shifts in weather patterns"


This is what global COOLING would do(DID). Not global warming and the increase in CO2 which has INCREASED world food production by 25% by itself.

From USA Today:

200 years ago, we endured a 'year without a summer'


https://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2016/05/26/year-without-a-summer-1816-mount-tambora/84855694/




"Snow in June, freezing temperatures in July, a killer frost in August: "The most gloomy and extraordinary weather ever seen," according to one Vermont farmer.

Two centuries ago, 1816 became the year without a summer for millions of people in parts of North America and Europe, leading to failed crops and near-famine conditions.

While they didn't know the chill's cause at the time, scientists and historians now know that the biggest volcanic eruption in human history, on the other side of the world — Mount Tambora in Indonesia in April 1815 — spewed millions of tons of dust, ash and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, temporarily changing the world's climate and dropping global temperatures by as much as 3 degrees."

As bad as it was, we're Yellowstone to go off, the impact to our planet would be worse. That event in New England caused the migration into Ohio which was then wilderness.
