Starting premise of Snowpiercer.
Good news, we invented Snowpiercer from the short novel "Don't do Snowpiercer" that was based on a book called Snowpiercer.
IIRC, when a volcano erupted in the 1990s (Pinatubo), temperatures dropped by ~0.1C on average, but crop yields of corn dropped by ~10%. Plants really need sunlight.
This still doesn't dissuade me from thinking that inducing catastrophic seismic activity in yellowstone is a good idea
