It would throw it into the atmosphere too, you know? And it really is dark and cold enough as is.
I'm going there next week, I'll hit the ground with a sledgehammer a couple of times to kick it off.

One of two harsh winters to get ride of America?
probably the most retarded comment I've read this week
>one or two
More like sending the world back a couple centuries to get rid of one cancerous superpower that will be replaced once the world gets back on its feet.
*shoves you back*
get back bro GET BACK
*pulls out phone and starts recording you*
I'M RECORDING
That eager to die? It would fuck the entire planet.
Here's what a regular volcano managed:
en.wikipedia.org
>In the year following the 1883 Krakatoa eruption, average Northern Hemisphere summer temperatures fell by as much as 1.2 °C (2.2 °F).[11] Weather patterns continued to be chaotic for years, and temperatures did not return to normal until 1888.[11] The record rainfall that hit Southern California during the “water year” from July 1883 to June 1884 – Los Angeles received 38.18 inches (969.8 mm) and San Diego 25.97 inches (659.6 mm)[12] – has been attributed to the Krakatoa eruption.[13]
>The Krakatoa eruption injected an unusually large amount of sulfur dioxide (SO2) gas high into the stratosphere, which was subsequently transported by high-level winds all over the planet. This led to a global increase in sulfuric acid (H2SO4) concentration in high-level cirrus clouds. The resulting increase in cloud reflectivity (or albedo) reflected more incoming light from the sun than usual, and cooled the entire planet until the suspended sulfur fell to the ground as acid precipitation.[17]
>The 1883 Krakatoa eruption darkened the sky worldwide for years afterwards
This would kill all of mankind within a decade. Smog and soot in the atmosphere blocking sunlight and killing vegetation, nuclear facilities all over the US going off and causing a small-scale nuclear winter alongside the effects of the eruption, and general global chaos leading to almost every country on the planet politically imploding.
Not gonna lie, I kinda want some crazy worldwide event like this to happen.
Oh please continue
*grabs lube*
And you would watch from your secure bunker, in pyjamas, eating ice cream?
Oh, and there's also this:
en.wikipedia.org
>The year 1816 is known as the Year Without a Summer (also the "Poverty Year" and "Eighteen Hundred and Froze To Death") because of severe climate abnormalities that caused average global temperatures to decrease by 0.4–0.7 °C (0.7–1.3 °F).[2] This resulted in major food shortages across the Northern Hemisphere.[3]
>Evidence suggests that the anomaly was predominantly a volcanic winter event caused by the massive 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora in the Dutch East Indies
>A Norfolk, Virginia newspaper reported:
>It is now the middle of July, and we have not yet had what could properly be called summer. Easterly winds have prevailed for nearly three months past... the sun during that time has generally been obscured and the sky overcast with clouds; the air has been damp and uncomfortable, and frequently so chilling as to render the fireside a desirable retreat.[14]
>Regional farmers did succeed in bringing some crops to maturity, but corn and other grain prices rose dramatically. The price of oats, for example, rose from 12¢ per bushel ($3.40/m3) in 1815 (equal to $1.60 today) to 92¢ per bushel ($26/m3) in 1816 ($13.27 today).
>Low temperatures and heavy rains resulted in failed harvests in Britain and Ireland. Families in Wales traveled long distances begging for food. Famine was prevalent in north and southwest Ireland, following the failure of wheat, oat, and potato harvests. In Germany, the crisis was severe; food prices rose sharply. With the cause of the problems unknown, people demonstrated in front of grain markets and bakeries, and later riots, arson, and looting took place in many European cities. It was the worst famine of 19th-century Europe.[7][16]
>In China, the cold weather killed trees, rice crops, and even water buffalo, especially in the north. Floods destroyed many remaining crops. The monsoon season was disrupted, resulting in overwhelming floods in the Yangtze Valley. In India, the delayed summer monsoon caused late torrential rains that aggravated the spread of cholera from a region near the Ganges in Bengal to as far as Moscow.[18] In Japan, still exercising caution after the cold weather related Great Tenmei famine of 1782–1788, the cold damaged crops, and there were adverse effects on population.[19]
>Food riots broke out in the United Kingdom and France, and grain warehouses were looted. The violence was worst in landlocked Switzerland, where famine caused the government to declare a national emergency. Huge storms and abnormal rainfall with flooding of Europe's major rivers (including the Rhine) are attributed to the event, as is the August frost. A major typhus epidemic occurred in Ireland between 1816 and 1819, precipitated by the famine caused by the Year Without a Summer. An estimated 100,000 Irish perished during this period.
>New England also experienced major consequences from the eruption of Tambora. The corn crop in New England failed. Corn was reported to have ripened so poorly that no more than a quarter of it was usable for food. The crop failures in New England, Canada, and parts of Europe also caused the price of wheat, grains, meat, vegetables, butter, milk, and flour to rise sharply.
>In China, unusually low temperatures in summer and fall devastated rice production in Yunnan, resulting in widespread famine. Summer snowfall or otherwise mixed precipitation was reported in various locations in Jiangxi and Anhui, located at around 30°N. In Taiwan, which has a tropical climate, snow was reported in Hsinchu and Miaoli, and frost was reported in Changhua.[27]
I'd strive to survive.
>An estimated 100,000 Irish perished during this period
not seeing a problem here
The problem is that some survived.
>peacefully and lovingly invades canada to have more space to live in
Yes please
can't argue with that logic
Why we are not funding this?
Reminder that Krakatoa was less than 1% the size of Yellowstone, this would be an unprecedented event in human history.
Do we have scientists working on finding a way to prevent volcanoes from erupting? Like some way of draining the magma chambers or something?
Might be an idea to invest some money into this field...
this tbqhwyfam
I think even if you drained all the magma out of it somehow that would still be a huge problem since molten rock is full of dissolved gases that would be released as it cool. I'm just a biology student so I don't know much about geology beyond some of the chemistry involved in it but I think the only way to even prevent something like that would be to close off the hotspot below the crust.
Those eruptions already happened, moron
