Are volcanic eruptions becoming more common? Yes - if climate change continues like this, 58 percent of volcanoes will receive more heavy rain. With warming of just over three degrees, 42 percent of volcanoes are affected by more frequent rainfall - that's 506 mountains of fire worldwide.
Why are so many volcanoes currently erupting? When temperatures rise, ice melts and sea levels rise. This in turn significantly changes the tension in the layers of earth near the volcanoes, increasing the risk of eruptions.
My hypothesis: More volcanoes are erupting with significantly more ash particles due to climate change. The ash particles cool the climate down again. Not forever though, like two years or so. This means everything will take longer until the end of the world
