I have been worried that N. Korean nuclear tests, conducted not far from this volcano, would rattle it to cause premature eruption.
To: TigerLikesRooster
Yes, and there have been earthquakes in that region, which also could indicate force building up for an eruption.

A nuclear test would not cause a volcano to erupt.
That is the thing of bad Japanese Godzilla movies.

Lol. The scale of forced involved with a volcano such as this make a nuke look like a firecracker.

In the famous words of Bill Clinton, “Blow, Baby, Blow”.
That will give a lot of ecco-wackos heart attacks and I’m all for that.

No, ecco-wackos, politicians, mass media, and “scientist” will use any huge eruption as disingenuous propaganda which will “amaze”/condition the majority of the population. How do I know

“Mount Tambora and the Year Without a Summer”
The summer of 1816 was not like any summer people could remember. Snow fell in New England. Gloomy, cold rains fell throughout Europe. It was cold and stormy and dark - not at all like typical summer weather. Consequently, 1816 became known in Europe and North America as The Year Without a Summer.
Why was the summer of 1816 so different? Why was there so little warmth and sunshine in Europe and North America? The answer could be found on the other side of the planet - at Indonesias Mount Tambora.
On April 5, 1815, Mount Tambora, a volcano, started to rumble with activity. Over the following four months the volcano exploded - the largest volcanic explosion in recorded history. Many people close to the volcano lost their lives in the event. Mount Tambora ejected so much ash and aerosols into the atmosphere that the sky darkened and the Sun was blocked from view.

If it's North Korea, the world is safe. They can't seem to launch anything in the air properly.

I have been worried that N. Korean nuclear tests, conducted not far from this volcano, would rattle it to cause premature eruption. I have often wondered if that might not be a good thing. The difference between excising a cancer early and waiting and hoping it will go away.
Waiting for a volcano to erupt allows for the build up of gases to enormous pressures that eventually explodes a rips off the top of the volcano's cone.
If somehow man were to capable of venting off the gases the explosion might be avoided the magma might rise and cool in a more controlled fashion avoiding the damage of sudden uncontrolled venting that is the usual eruption

If it erupts it will have severe consequences for the Junche religion.

If this thing blows, global warming will go off the charts. It must be stopped.
