I'm beginning to think I've imagined this story. Any ideas?

(Giggawatt hours please)
I really feel like this is a Pilkington-esque question, but this is r/NoStupidQuestions, so I might as well get it out of my system.
Regardless, I've recently been seeing memes about a supposedly impending eruption, so I decided to look into the subject in order to learn how likely the eruption is and how disastrous its effects would be. Geologists are apparently skeptical that an eruption will actually happen in the near future, and they claim that there isn't even enough magma within the volcano for a full-scale eruption.
That aside, let's say that another eruption does happen at some point within the next hundred or so years and that the effects are as devastating as they're theorized to be. One of the predictions is that ash would enter the atmosphere, therefore causing a second ice-age and leaving the world largely uninhabitable for humans and animals (or something like that; I could be misremembering the specifics). Simultaneously, I've heard and read that climate change will eventually make certain sections of the earth (and eventually the entire planet) too hot to inhabit. With all of this in mind, could the second ice age and global warming just offset one another to the point that the earth is restored to a reasonable global climate?
I know it's a stupid and random question but I'm bored at the moment and I rather talk about something that is not political at the moment.
Could anyone perhaps provide an analysis of worst case scenario, best case scenario, and most likely scenario based on current literature/knowledge? I've come across a lot of information on the subject but a lot seems very speculative. Is it pure speculation? How much do we really know about this type of event?
If anyone knows of any good resources or studies that could provide a breakdown by regions expanding out from the epicenter and time-frames, that would be great. Or if someone could provide it here in the comments that would be even better!
I recently read even if Yellowstone did erupt there is no evidence it was ever an extinction event, but just how far back would it set civilization as we know it?

She breaks free from the abusive relationship and is gifted a number of viable seeds by an old man.
It was included in an anthology and was read in the past 15 years. I'm beginning to think I've imagined this story. Any ideas?

I might have asked this before but I'm hoping somebody might recognise it:

Was in an anthology and was read sometime in the past 10 years.
Any leads would be most appreciated.
