Obligatory reference to "global warming" at your link:

Lateral collapse events at stratovolcanoes, similar to the current threat posed by the western flank of Cumbre Vieja, could increase due to the physical effects of global warming on the Earth from increases in deviatoric stress from post-glacial rebound while the size and frequency of eruptions are also likely to increase.

My comment -- what the heck does global warming have to do with post-glacial rebound?? Scientific globbly gook.

deviatoric stress is the culprit. Convexial declination forces acting on the batter axis results in the stress
