What would happen if two supervolcanoes erupted at once
Like say for instance,Taupo and Yellowstone?
Would that cause years of darkness and bring on another
ice age?

I also meant to ask does anyone know if it's happened before?

think of the earth as a marshmallow that has been toasted/melted on both sides and is having a hard time even clinging to the end of your stick

Re: What would happen if two supervolcanoes erupted at once
There is the Toba eruption and the theory about it. (from wiki)

The Toba supereruption was a supervolcanic eruption that is believed to have occurred sometime between 69,000 and 77,000 years ago at Lake Toba (Sumatra, Indonesia).
It is recognized as one of the Earth's largest known eruptions.
The related catastrophe hypothesis holds that this event plunged the planet into a 6-to-10-year volcanic winter and possibly an additional 1,000-year cooling episode. This change in temperature is hypothesized to have resulted in the world's human population being reduced to 10,000 or even a mere 1,000 breeding pairs, creating a bottleneck in human evolution.

 Quoting: overwhatshername


Don't know, but I don't think I'd want anyone to try it for fear that it would, rather than snuffing the eruption out, make it worse and the volcano would keep spewing radioactive crap into the atmosphere far longer & stronger than just an 'ordinary' nuke blast would.
