Japan isn't going to be the example for the rest of the world in 2024, they are already having a right terrible year.

Yes, they are having a terrible time.

seen some suggestions that the global warming climate damage crisis is actually causing greater crust instability - hence more eruptions and earthquakes in addition to the storm winds, floods / drought & fire outbreaks.

if that's a speculation, or if someone has done research about how climate change is causing crust instability.

(from vague recollection) it might have been in the early research pre-print stage.

that's fair, about what I understood around it. That it isn't mere speculation, but nothing that definitive.
