Lots of ash. Everywhere. A bang that will be heard around the world. It could even set off an ice age.
Not to mention possible earthquakes. With such a massive eruption, the area around Yellowstone would rumble like Hell legions want to come marching out. Then not to mention the triggered earthquakes around the globe.
Its would be a fascinating thing to read about in history books but to live through... not so much...
Humanity is too adaptive and highly numbered to go completely extinct without destruction of the whole planet or constant hunting by a more advanced sentient species. You can only hope you will be one of those that survive a global catastrophe. Like being with the strongest country/group or the one not on the same side of the planet as a huge meteorite impact.

Actually, we are just as easily at risk of extinction as the dinosaurs, considering a possible theory that something spewed so much ash into the atmosphere that it caused the sun to be blocked out and thus causing all vegetation to die. We wouldn't have very much to survive on - yes we can eat the dying beasts but because they're starving to death there wouldn't be much to eat...
If any super-catastrophic disaster were to happen during my life-time. I think I'd rather do away with myself than let nature do it for me. Nature is a ***** and would probably have me suffer like slowly melting away in high heats or something. So I'd rather have a gun to shoot myself in the head with.
UV lamps and the seeds in the doomsday vault. Problem solved, for a few dozen people at least :|
Hm, never thought about that. But that still doesn't solve anything. You grow some food, but the rest of the world is a dead land. No ecosystem to support the remaining humans. So it's just slowing down your death really.

Nuclear powered underground cities, or coal/oil/styrofoam powered cause **** the environment above at this point. We can also use the food provided by the ocean such as fish and algae, assuming the land dieing doesn't totally mess up the ocean to hell.

That already happened. :?
Well, ignoring being wiped out by more advanced sentient species, we'll be the first highly adaptable animal that are bigger than a rat to walk the Earth.
Neanderthals don't count since they were only in and around Europe. So you can't really say they were highly numbered. Also the cause of their extinction is debatable but if you as a "s" to "cause", then yeah, homo sapiens definitely had a role to play in interbreeding (Really debatable) to active species war (Wouldn't this be the first of its kind?) .
Then there is the whole issue of being Stone Age and all.
The aliens will see how Humanity plays out since... we'll be long gone before all of humanity are gone.
I think that we simply need to get better at telling the earth to stay still, god damnit. Maybe a couple big iron bars to hold the plates in place.

So, you're saying we'll end up with IRL alien porn that will lead to the entire human species becoming half alien half mammal? COOL.

At the end of the day it's the chair I trust
The cushion is comfy and the works don't rust
With a straight line of vision to my Elvis bust
Watch the kingdom, eat the bread crust
Why do people ALWAYS assume superior races are malevolent?
Unless we get zerg rushed I doubt aliens will come down just to kill us.
We're more likely to offend them somehow and they get pissed off.
Somewhat like the Predators? According to AvP, they helped build the Pyramids so they're not exactly bad. They spare the people who are not combatants. All they want is just a trophy or two... or three. Click click click...
Anyways, its just a bit amusing, in a way, to say it that way.
In reality, I'm chill with aliens as long they're not blowing up the head of the guy next to me when we first meet or as you said, not zerg rushing us.

In other news, for all we know a benevolent aliens could look like Xenomorphs... never know...
ITT: People stereotyping aliens and argueing about global warming.
But why do people automaticly think that aliens are maleviolent? For all we know, they could be just like us, but with a few biological differences. See The Doctor.

I read an interesting Aliens/Humans book called "Homeward Bound" by Harry Turtledove
Basically, Aliens decide to invade and take over, in the Medieval Ages. It takes them a hell of a while to get here, and when they arrive it's WW2. So the aliens park in the ****ing atmosphere. The Americans "pull a pearl harbour" on the Aliens, sending fighters up to shoot 'em up. They ended up blowing up quite a few civilians. Finely matched due to the time they arrived, the Aliens and Humans have a war. In the end, they co-exist, albiet grudgingly. Humans decided to send a diplomatic ship to the Alien home world. Some **** happens. Then Humanity invents faster then light travel, to a great chorus of alien "oh ****". We basically pwn them because we advance so quickly. Let this be a lesson, we went from flightless to on the moon in less then a century. We're gunna be pretty damn big soon.
EDIT: assume aliens arrived today. After not getting radio contact, the US Military launches EVERYTHING and blows the ****ers up. That's what our southernly neighbors are good for :3

...Or what was suggested before I posted..
Most deep caves will never even know that there was a problem because they never see the world.
Deep sea life will be too tough and too far down to feel anything.
Us surface dwellers however must prepare by abandoning the elderly and the sick and take as much preserved food and water as possible and bunker up.
Otherwise...We skreeeew'd!

Eh. It'll be interesting on how people will really react to aliens, if we ever meet any.
