and if so, what changes might we see?

We are at a time when it is becoming increasingly likely that we might see one, or even a series of catastrophic events. Two particularly likely candidates are:

Global Warming.
A major eruption at the Yellowstone Caldera.

If either of those occured, what would be the effect on civilization? On humans?

Re: The Yellowstone Caldera Event

How big was the last event?

How far did ash travel?

How deep were the ash layers?

Have there been any comparable events within the last 100,00 years or so and what were the results of those events?
