I'd notice that Kamchatka, Shiveluch, and Bezymianny volcanoes in Far Eastern Russia(Ring of Fire Region) are now active at the same time.
I never seen all 3 active at the same time before.

Thanks for the information, Vet/Father.
Have you ever read anything about the Siberian Traps and the Permian Boundary? I looked up the area where one of these volcanoes is located and it's in Siberia.
"The highest point in Siberia is the active volcano Klyuchevskaya Sopka, in the Kamchatka peninsula." (wikipedia)The Permian Boundary took place 251 million years ago - the same amount of time it takes the solar system to make one rotation around the galactic center.
I just read this on another site -
Prolonged subduction beneath the Siberian part of Pangea occurred in the Permian and Triassic.Also -
The Siberian Traps were the largest volcanic eruption in Earth history and they occured right at the same time as the largest extinction event in Earth history.
Co-incidence?
It is engrained in everyone from an early age that volcanic eruptions are dangerous to life so the Siberian Traps could indeed hold the key to explaining the Permo-triassic extinction event

Dark matter may constitute more than 90 and ample evidence in favour of its
existence occurs in the form of galactic rotation curves, the stability of galactic
clusters etc. Several candidates have been proposed ( Berezinsky 1993 , Watson
1997 ). It is probable that dark matter occurs in a clumped form, with high-
density clumps of dark matter existing within a uniform halo background. During
the occasional passage of such a clump through the Earth dark matter would
accumulate in the core and annihilate, producing vast quantities of heat (Kanipe
1997) . Abbas and Abbas estimate that the heat output can exceed present-day
terrestrial heat production by five orders of magnitude (Abbas and Abbas 1998)
. These large quantities of heat will in all likelihood lead to the creation of a
superplume that initiates, upon arrival at the surface, the Siberian flood basalt
volcanic episode (Abbas and Abbas, 1998) . This volcanism may lead to changes
in oceanic circulation patterns by tectonic realignment or the creation of new
oceanic plumes above submarine eruption sites. Such a change could lead to
anoxia with the consequent terminal P/T mass extinction as envisaged by Knoll
et al. (Knoll et al. 1996a) . In addition Vermeij and Dorritie (Vermeij and
Dorritie 1996) pointed out that it is possible that Siberian volcanism may have
released vast quantities of methane from permafrost and continental shelves,
which, on oxidation, would have yielded carbon dioxide, drawing down oxygen in
the process and leading to anoxia.LINKThanks for starting the thread, Vet/Father - and I hope all is well with you.
