In part with heavy rains, Puna geothermal fracking on Hawaii Island appears likely to be responsible for 2018 eruption.

So no, not 'minimal'.

I had no idea about the Puna geothermal plant! I'll read up on it!

My "minimal" remark was intended as a response to the question of our effect on the Earth's core; I should have made that more clear. I'm sure we'll uncover all manner of consequences to the upper crust.

Having read into your comment a bit, the USGS doesn't agree with you. :(
