Volcanos happen. Numbers?? There is no “standard” predictor. Happens when it wants to. Man has zip to do with it.

You show the Yellowstone Caldera in that graphic. I betcha that's the one sleeper that no one is really counting on erupting, but I fear is the one MOST LIKELY to erupt! And when it does, the United States is history.
What I fear most is a simultaneous eruption of the Yellow Caldera, the New Madrid, San Andreas and the East Coast Fault. If that happens, gawd, the destruction would be beyond anything we've ever seen, or will ever see.

This can be corrected if we will just implement carbon credit trading. I agree, countries should pay for their volcanic carbon emissions. If you can't afford to pay the tax then you shouldn't have volcanoes.

Since when are volcanoes required to conform to our expectations?

The truth is that our planet and our sun are changing in ways that are unpredictable and that our scientists dont completely understand. But those pesky global warming scientists said they understand everything! What, they don't? Who would of thunk that unpredictable changes occur? Learn somethin' every day!

Even though this is superior to anecdotal reports of increasing volcanism, even a century is way too shy a comparison sample to judge whether volcanic eruptions are increasing in frequency, let alone intensity.
Without becoming pedantic about immense geologic timescales, a researcher does not have to look very far back into the relatively recent past, 10 to 15 millennia say, to sample evidence of the frequency and intensity of before and after the Younger Dryas, c 12,500 BC, to find a very intense and frequently "dynamic lithosphere."
But that alone does not rule out the notion that volcanism is on the rise, it actually hints volcanism could really be on the up-swing, here and there, and our perception of such a possibility might not simply be an artifact of greater population density and wider light-speed communications and detection capacity. This is true because we know it's happened before. The noise level in our human-surround is very distracting, especially when we train ourselves to hesitate to react.

Considering how fast the strength of the Earth’s magnetic field is dropping I think it’s going to be a bit quicker than that.

If L.A. is next, can I team up with Anne Heche? Yes. Yes, you can.

"During the 20th century, there were a total of 3,542 volcanic eruptions globally. That works out to approximately 35 eruptions per year. That may sound like a lot, but according to Volcano Discovery there are 36 volcanoes erupting around the world right now. In other words, the number of volcanoes erupting as you read this article is greater than the 20th centurys yearly average." They make this sound all dramatic, but is it?
The average year in the 20th century saw 35 eruptions. Right now there are 36. Only one more than the yearly average. So is this a big difference? Depends on how long the average eruption lasts. If the average eruption lasts a year, then you'd expect 35 simultaneous eruptions on average, and we are barely a tick above average. If the average eruption lasts only a week then the average simultaneous eruptions is much lower, and 36 is a big deviation.

Obviously we need to tax the rich more in order to combat this.
To: Jack Hydrazine
Michael Snyder is not a geologist or volcanologist. He has a website and writes books, some of them novels, and gives finance advice, some rather dubious, on the coming global economic collapse.
He talks a lot about Yellowstone but a lot of it is what if scenarios.
This article debunks Mr. Snyders claims and bad math.
