There seem to be people asserting that removing the weight of melting ice is destabilizing the crust and contributing to volcanic events and earthquakes.
"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
