Basically, like the title said "...sulphuric acid clouds causing the world temperature to plummet by blocking out sunlight/heat" We've just been having a debate about it on IRC and half of us think it will, where as the other half think it will not. Thanks for your answers.

We're having a debate on whether it will block out sun, I'm certain it will, but a few people seem to think it won't.

It is possibly a 'world ender' the size of the rim from the last eruption is greater than ant known outside the Pacific rim. I would suspect that even an eruption of half the past magnitude would be sufficient to black out the sun for years.

Yes, if Yellowstone blows... it will kill pretty much everything on the planet. At the very least, it will eliminate the human race.
So, are you havin a debate on whether it will erupt? (Cuz its a couple 1000 years overdue, and its showing the pre-eruption for several years now) Or are you having a debate on whether it will block out the sun and kill the human race? (Cuz it will, those who done die from the acid and dust particles in the air, will die when the nuclear winter sets in)
