Has there been an increase in volcanic activity in the last 6 months
or is the media just reporting on these more than usual?

Dear Wendi,
Have a look at question 32
in 8. Interesting Facts on Volcanoes in Ask a Volcanologist. Scott also
answered this question. For his thoughts see question 80
in 12. Volcanoes in General.

P.S. CNN is often the first to report an eruption these days.
