    That's a trip. We're overpopulated, so I guess we could always use more land

    I wouldn't say we're overpopulated. There is plenty of land, it's just that most of it is being used to make money rather than support people. I doubt any refugees will be hopping a boat out to an active volcano because their home town is too crowded.

    Slowly rising water levels shall make those islands look like just a underwater structure or reef.

    That's awesome! Imagine being alive long enough to see it being naturally terraformed.


    First, lichens. Then, small insects.

    After that, small plants and grasses...

    Then, trees and larger animals.


    It would be so beautiful to watch.
