It’s not. Snyder either mistakenly out of ignorance or purposely out of greed, misinterprets the actual data.
Michael Snyder is a crank with absolutely no scientific background and whose only interest is in selling books and prepper supplies on his website and pimping his blog all over the place including here, and this “unprecedented” volcano story he’s been pushing for years now, among other alarmist articles like all the sea life is dying in the Pacific because of Fukushima, has been debunked numerous times.

And while earth quakes and volcanic eruptions kill and injure many and destroy property and my heart goes out to the victims of such disasters, in truth, when the time comes that this geologic activity stops completely, that is actually THE very bad sign.
Not only would plate tectonics (the force that drives earthquakes, causes the earth’s plates to move slowly over time, and also creates new and uplifts existing mountain ranges) and volcanism stop, but more importantly the earth would lose its magnetic shield.
When that happens anyone still around on planet Earth will wish for the days of earthquakes and volcanoes.
Our planet will be dead and so will we.
For example, amessenger4god links to reference of 34 of 40 active volcanoes to a mid May piece, 2015...an article over 11 months old.
People reading his excerpt think it's a Spring 2016 figure, which is then heightened in light of recent major quakes in Ecuador and Japan.
People: bottom line: read the fine print. THE GOD of the Bible speaks both thru His Word of the past, and if He is speaking thru current catastrophesituation, believe me, He is able to CLEARLY convey that real-time. (He doesn't need murky 11 month old "the underground is burning" bemoanings)
