Azores – Evacuations Begin as Seismic Crisis Unfolds in Atlantic

Is there some sort of correlation with uptick in seismic activity, I mean are we in seeing normal activity, or is there indeed a lot more going on than 'usual'?

Maybe it's just some synchronicity and I'm just more 'aware' because of all the other natural disasters, and non-natural, but it just 'feels' like something big is coming because of all the volcanoes, tsunami's, and other reports of activity.

Also, how much does climate change affect volcanoes, and earthquakes?

Well, broadly speaking, an earthquake on one fault can alter shear and stress on other faults - up or down though.

As for climate change... well, maybe, there's definitely mechanisms whereby it can change stress on rock, but how much of an effect it has, no-one can really say. This is a good round up. https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2926/can-climate-affect-earthq...
