Supervolcano 'on verge of eruption' and could spark mass extinction and nuclear winter

Asupervolcano in Italy could erupt and cause mass extinctions, obliterate crops, and spark mass evacuations of nearby communities, scientists have warned.
The crust of the Campi Flegrei volcano, near Naples in southern Italy, is becoming weaker and more prone to rupturing, "making an eruption more likely", research recently published in the journal Communications Earth & Environment said.
It could erupt soon, a new study states, and it would be the first time since 1538.
If the volcano erupts, it could launch molten rock and volcanic gases high into the stratosphere.
