On: Can you drill into a supervolcano to relieve press...

How is that not positive? Drilling means gigatons of new CO2 emmisions.

Natural eruption would considerably reduce man made CO2 emmisions in near future. And nuclear winter from dust could stop global warming!

Ah, so you were being facetious then. Should have said at the beginning, would have saved us some time and you the downvotes.

I imagine this is technically accurate, as an eruption of for example Yellowstone would utterly destroy most human civilization in North America.

Definitely impactful but not civilization ending.
