In an age of increasing hyperbole about natural phenomena it had to appear sooner or later: an alarmist claim that “climate change” (CC) was, could, can or is causing more intense volcanic activity on planet Earth.

So it was no surprise that a BBC WS CrowdScience team – presenter Caroline Steel, producer Emily Bird and editor Cathy Edwards – attempted last month to answer this question: “Could climate change lead to more volcanic eruptions? How will a heating planet affect volcanic activity?”

We spend a lot of our time thinking about climate change, but listener Paul [from near Blackpool, United Kingdom] has a question that isn’t usually part of the conversation. He wants to know whether a hotter atmosphere will affect how often volcanoes erupt, or make them more explosive when they do. (CrowdScience audio, 3 min.)

Sumthin' tells me that they have this 180 degrees wrong.

As the eruption of the Hunga Tonga volcano proved, the questions should really be:
- how does volcanic activity impact heating/cooling of the planet?
- will more volcanic eruptions contribute to changing weather patterns?

Looks like another possibly "impacting" eruption getting under way in Indonesia right now...
