If you watch the news, you might think that the number of volcanoes erupting has increased in recent years. It’s an important question for climatologists since volcanic emissions can affect the climate. However, I saw this article from Smithsonian’s Global Volcanism Program today which indicates it really isn’t increasing, but the media are paying more attention. You can read the scientific article at https://volcano.si.edu/faq/index.cfm?question=historicalactivity.
