Earth is fighting to stay alive. Mass dieoffs, triggered by anthropogenic assault and fallout of planetary defense systems offsetting the impact, could begin anytime!

The eruption follows reports of volcanic tremors starting five days ago.
“On May 17th we witnessed an increase in the amplitude of volcanic tremors and recorded intense degassing accompanied by occasional, weak emissions from the northeastern crater,” the Catania branch of Italy’s National Volcanology and Geophysics Institute said in a statement.
Etna lies above the convergent plate margin between the African and the Eurasian Plates, making it one of the most active volcanoes in the world.
It is the tallest active volcano in Europe, and currently stands 3,330m high. The volcano covers an area of 1,190km² with a basal circumference of 140km.
One of the 16 Decade Volcanoes, Mt Etna is in an almost constant state of activity.
New/ongoing volcanic activity/unrest at 24 volcanoes across the globe
Guatemala’s Fuego volcano spews ash forcing closure of international airport
Fuego volcano [Volcán de Fuego, or “Volcano of Fire,”] located about 40 km southwest of Guatemalan capital, spewed ash into the air on Saturday, prompting the authorities to evacuate a nearby community and forcing the closure of the capital’s international airport.
At least a dozen flights were cancelled after the main airport in the capital Nueva Guatemala de la Asunción, aka Guatemala City, was shut down.
On September 13, 2012 the 3,763-meter-high volcano erupted forcing the authorities to evacuate tens of thousands of people from 20 or so villages near the mountain.
Latest Volcanic Activity/Unrest
Kīlauea Volcano, Hawaii
Kīlauea continues to erupt at its summit and from its East Rift Zone. The June 27th lava flow remains about 500 m (~550 yd) from Highway 130 in the area west of the Pāhoa Fire and Police Stations. The flow has not advanced downslope in more than a week, but many breakouts are active upslope, said HVO. Code: ORANGE.
Shishaldin Volcano, Alaska
Elevated surface temperatures at the summit were observed in satellite data on Friday through Saturday. “Web camera images showed intermittent, minor steam emissions. Low-level eruptive activity confined to the summit crater of the volcano likely continues. Seismicity remains above background levels and tremor persists,” said AVO. Code: ORANGE
Piton de la Fournaise, island of La Reunion in Indian Ocean (France)
“Peak of the Furnace” in the French Indian Ocean island of La Reunion erupted on February 4, 2015. The previous significant eruption, which lasted for two days, began on December 9, 2010.

Colima Volcano, Mexico
Eruptions and lava flow reported since January 29, 2015.
Mt. Etna, Sicily, Italy
Latest eruptive episode began on 31 December, 2014.
Karymsky, Eastern Kamchatka, Russia Explosive eruptions at Karymsky continued into late January/early February, with ash plumes rising to heights of about 4 km above the crater.
Klyuchevskoy, Central Kamchatka, Russia Strombolian and Vulcanian eruptions at Klyuchevskoy continued into late January/ early February with ash plumes rising to a height of about 8km a.s.l.
Pacaya, Guatemala Ash emissions reported by INSIVUMEH starting late January.
Ruapehu, North Island, NZ Water temperatures at Ruapehu’s summit Crater Lake have been increasing from about 15C to 40C since late December, said Geonet. The company also reported increased levels of volcanic gas emissions through the lake, which is changing color from blue-green to gray due to convection.
Soputan, Sulawesi, Indonesia
The volcano spewed an ash plume to an altitude of more than 6 km (20,000 ft) on February 2, 2015.

Mt ETNA erupted, shooting up towering columns of ash into the air
The eruption from Europe’s most active volcano ejected towering columns of ash and fountains of molten lava over Sicily Saturday night.
Etna, one of the most active volcanoes in the world, is in an almost constant state of activity. The eruption was the 16th paroxysmal explosion at Etna so far this year, forcing officials at Cantania Airport to close airspace above much of Sicily as a precautionary measure.
Mt Etna is the largest of the three active volcanoes in Italy, covering an area of about 1,200km², with a basal circumference of 140km. More than a quarter of Sicily’s live on the slopes of the 3,330-meter volcano.Volcanic activity first occurred at Etna about 500,000 years ago.
A massive lava flow from an eruption in November 1928 destroyed the village of Mascali. Other major 20th-century eruptions occurred in 1949, 1971, 1981, 1983 and 1991–1993.
Mt Etna, Europe’s most active volcano, erupted for the sixth time this year
Etna’s spectacular eruption, which began Thursday, is the 24th explosion since January 2011.
Etna erupted explosively for the 6th time so far this year. Freeze frame from an AP news video clip.

News video clips show large volumes of lava and plumes of smoke and ash being ejected from a new crater on the volcano’s southeast flank.
The massive volcano is located about 15km from the village of Zafferana Etnea and 30km from Catania, Sicily’s second largest city.
Etna boasts one of the world’s longest documented records of activity, with its historical volcanism dating back to 1500 BC.
The latest eruption which began on Thursday is the 24th in a series that started in January 2011. The last three eruption have occurred in 12-day intervals.
Also known as the “the Mountain of Fire,” the basaltic stratovolcano covers an area of about 1,200km2.
The Mongibello is in near constant state of activity.
More than a quarter of Sicily’s population lives on the slopes of Mount Etna.
Sicilian volcano erupts for the seventh time this year
Mt Etna’s latest eruption Tuesday night (UTC) forced the authorities to close the Catania’s Fontanarossa International Airport.
The volcano ejected fountains of lava up to 500 meters into the air, according to local reports.
There was no ash fallout as of posting, and the air port was reportedly reopened 6 hours later.
The authorities have warned nearby residents that more eruptions could occur without warning.
Mt Etna (summit elevation: 3,333m) is one of the world’s most active volcanoes.
