Please don't ask because,
I see what you are saying, but I'm interested in hearing why you think it would be a negative thing. Isn't a world-wide pressure release a good thing? You don't want that energy building up.
everything happens for a reason but we never really know the real reason.

I hope so because then they will stop.

Actually, nowadays we understand the reasons for why these things happen quite well.

"All" is the key word.I don't remember in the history when "All" were so active.
These volcanoes are all in varying stages of the alert process

Can you explain who is coming ? The volcanos?
Or do you mean someone else is coming and they're blowing the volcanos to give us a sign they're coming?
Lol, sorry. I'm just in a funny mood today plus I am a bit puzzled. I like volcanos.
Sorry, I listed just a small part of them.
But is isn't all volcanoes, just all of those volcanoes that you listed
Everything can be overcome.We must know how.
Thank you DiamondSmith for sharing this vital information
Sure they did,but not in the recent history of humanity,I think.
And I suppose this kind of volcanic activity/pattern has never occurred in the history of planet Earth?

They didn't do it yet,but if you watch the volcanic activity for a period of time last year(s) as this year you can make an idea.

Where's the comparable control data for this time last year?
The period of time is too short to not realize that something is happening.
There was much more volcanic activity only a few centuries ago.
No it is not,as proved.There are many examples and facts proving that.
Volcanic activity if you look and long term trend is actually DOWN

This is what experts say about a perceived increase in volcanic activity.
A look at the number of volcanoes active per year, over the last few centuries, shows a dramatic increase, but one that is closely related to increases in the world's human population and communication. We believe that this represents an increased reporting of eruptions, rather than increased frequency of global volcanism: more observers, in wider geographic distribution, with better communication, and broader publication. The past 200 years (see plot below) show this generally increasing trend along with some major "peaks and valleys" which suggest global pulsations. A closer look at the two largest valleys, however, shows that they coincide with the two World Wars, when people (including editors) were preoccupied with other things. Many more eruptions were probably witnessed during those times, but reports do not survive in the scientific literature.
If these apparent drops in global volcanism are caused by decreased human attention to volcanoes, then it is reasonable to expect that increased attention after major, newsworthy eruptions should result in higher-than-average numbers of volcanoes being reported in the historical literature. The 1902 disasters at Mont Pelee, St. Vincent, and Santa Maria (see 1902 arrow) were highly newsworthy events. They represent a genuine pulse in Caribbean volcanism, but we believe that the higher numbers in following years (and following Krakatau in 1883) result from increased human interest in volcanism. People reported events that they might not otherwise have reported and editors were more likely to print those reports.
Additional strong evidence that the historical increase in global volcanism is more apparent than real comes from the lower plot below. Here only the larger eruptions (generating at least 0.1 km3 of tephra, the fragmental products of explosive eruptions) are plotted. The effects of these larger events are often regional, and therefore less likely to escape documentation even in remote areas. The frequency of these events has remained impressively constant for more than a century, and contrasts strongly with the apparent increase of smaller eruptions with time.

There is absolutely nothing unusual with the current acitivty.
