I found a Mud Volcano in California

The ground movement of the mud is obviously telling us something... 
but what is it saying?
unfortunately there is not funding for ground penetrating radar and seismic readings using shaped charges to create a shock wave image... 
starting small and gentle because it could be some kind of lubricating event because of a pinch point. 
Once the leverage grows sufficient to break the bedrock... 
the next jump slip would occur...
Strange to imagine 20,000 feet of earth liquified and suddenly flowing...
But I don’t know what’s happening...
However my hypothesis from twenty years ago...
The ice mass over the Antarctica plate is being lost causing a tectonic uplifting reaction in the Antarctica plate. The Antarctica ice sheet was a stable deformation that is actually visible from space... 
altering the shape of the Earth under the compression. 
As the ice loss occurs and Antarctica rises in response it creates volcanic activity around the world and the tectonic plates are essentially being unzipped leading to earthquakes, tsunamis and geological activities as Antarctica rises the pressures radiate outward along the fault lines and internal processes and pressures are redirected and redistributed.
With any luck the increases in volcanic activity will increase aerosols offsetting global warming climate change with a volcanic winter allowing us adequate time to get our act together...
 hopefully before a methane hiccup in the Arctic regions creates a forty to sixty year runaway hot house swamp planet Earth before subsequently returning to a ice age cycle after 400 feet of ocean rise and a major extinction event. 
As I expect the methane cycle will run out after rapidly releasing and cycling through the stored materials.
Then the 28 year methane to carbon dioxide will create such a forced thermal rise plume that it creates a thermal inversion... the kind of event where in ancient history woolly mammoths were eating spring flowers and were suddenly flash frozen so quickly as to preserve their stomach contents for tens of thousands of years.

Seems strange that a lot of separate volcanic activity or a possible but unexpected super volcano might be a better prospect... all because people are unwilling to be cognizant to possible consequences of poor policies and rampant pollution. 
Seems strange that with only 35 years of petroleum left in reserves... people are acting like they will have petroleum forever... when we should be trying to switch over to alternatives as fast as possible and conserve as much as possible. Sigh...
