74,000 years ago, it was the largest volcanic eruption in the last 2
millions years. But humanity survived, although I'm sure it wasn't much fun
for those around at the time.

To the extent we can tell about those times, they don't look so bad.

Unless we upload or otherwise cut our connection with the natural
world, sooner or later there will be one of these volcanic/climate
disasters.

If humanity was facing this problem today what would we do?
