Alert level raised as volcano erupts in southwestern Japan

I wonder if the increased volcanic activity is linked to the increased wandering of the magnetic north pole, some sort of "chaos" fluctuation in the magma?

There is in fact a very large magnetic anomaly underway but it is the South Atlantic Anomaly, which stretches from South America to Africa. The magnetic field is significantly reduced in this area, and it is quite large. Japan on the other hand sits on the junction of crustal plates that create multiple volcanos throughout Asia.

Suwanose Jima has been going off for years, centuries actually. It's a very active volcano - the most active in Japan. I was down there in 2009 and it was going off then.

Stay away from Fujisan. It is predicted...

This volcano has been active on and off for many years now. It's better to have lots of frequent, smaller eruptions, than one huge, devastating eruption.

Surely the volcanic activity is somehow caused by anthropogenic climate change.
