Good to know, thanks!

  There seem to be people asserting that removing the weight of melting ice is destabilizing the crust and contributing to volcanic events and earthquakes. Here is a link: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/get-ready-for-more-volcanic-eruptions-as-the-planet-warms/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/get-ready-for-mor... "A new study shows that even relatively small-scale climatic changes affect volcanic activity"

    Definitely plausible if the eruption were in Iceland or Alaska, but Tonga? Seems a bit of a stretch.

    Super interesting, and that's what I wonder: is this type of event happening because of something we haven't even thought of measuring (at least at scale)? No idea, obviously. Thanks for the link
