Has Volcanic Activity Been Increasing?
This is a simple question right? Well the answer doesn't seem so simple. That is if you are asking the experts at the Global Volcanism Program.The GVP is a part of the Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History.
Among the various questions posted on their FAQ page was this simple question:
Has volcanic activity been increasing?
The answer?
"We don't think so. A look at the number of volcanoes active per year, over the last few centuries, shows a dramatic increase, but…"
They go on to explain that the reason for this (in their opinion) is that there is much better reporting of volcanic activity. You can read the entire explaination here: http://www.volcano.si.edu/education/questions/index.cfm?faq=06
So the answer is: Yes, volcanic activity has been dramatically increasing over the past few centuries!
Hmmm. I believe Pliny and many others in antiquity had no problem reporting volcanic activity, so why would reporters over the past few centuries have such a problem? Which century do they believe that a volcano would not be reported? 20th? 19th? 18th? True, we didn't have the USGS back then but science was alive and well a few hundred years ago.
Their explaination simply doesn't hold water since every volcano, whether active or dormant, is very well documented today. The point is, that even if a volcano erupted in a remote area in 1800, and it was not reported at the time, it has since been studied and documented. By looking at plant life and other clues, scientists can determine when a volcano has erupted in the past. They can find evdience for volcanic activity which happened thousands of years ago. Evidence of volcanic activity just a couple of hundred years ago is nearly impossible to mistake.
The fact is that volcanic activity has dramatically increased over the past several hundred years regardless of the "intrepretation" of the science by so called "experts". It seems that government agencies feel it is their responsibility to protect (lie to) the public and downplay the evidence of increased volcanic activity, earthquakes, hurricanes, tornados, floods, and droughts. I understand that they do not want to instill panic, but the truth needs to be told.
