If arctic ice is really melting at an accelerated pace and sea levels will be rising dramatically in the coming years or decades, then shouldn't that redistribution of weight on the earth's crust cause all sorts of tectonic havoc?

In particular, with weight being shifted away from the poles, won't there be increased stress on the earth's crust in places where volcanic activity has gone dormant or is present but at nominal levels and won't that increase the likelihood of volcanic eruptions.

Take Yellowstone for example. Scientists have noticed rising ground levels in the area of an ancient caldera. Couldn't increased pressure in the Atlantic and Pacific push the crust down into the mantle and cause magma to be directed to potential hot spots.

However if we do get more volcanism, won't that at least temporarily stave off global warming? For several years after the eruption of Mount Pinatubo, sea levels did not rise at all. The belief is that the increase in sulfur dioxide - and anti-greenhouse gas that reflects sunlight back into space - counteracted the increasing levels of carbon dioxide.

And if all of this is true, doesn't it suggest that earth's climate might have more of an ability to self-regulate than anyone is giving it credit for?
