For whatever it's worth, while there are plenty of reasons to be concerned about sustainability and resource consumption, this particular type of natural disaster has absolutely zero to do with humanity. This is very much something we understand quite well. You're seeing volcanic activity on a volcanic island on a plate boundary. Basically, this is the geological "normal" for this area that's been going on much longer than human civilization. It's fair to be worried about increased human population in areas that are affected by this, but it's not in any way something caused by civilization's toll on the environment or even something we "don't understand" in some way. There's _tons_ that we don't understand in detail, but the broad brush strokes of volcanoes at a mid ocean ridge is something we understand relatively well. Note that the evacuation is beginning _before_ the eruption due to both local seismic monitoring of the sub-surface and space-borne monitoring of deformation at the surface.
