Far more logical to correlate Arctic and Antarctic ice thickness with underwater volcano activity than ambient air temperatures. However volcano activity, however real, does not fit the political narrative of “man made” climate change.

They’ve been there forever or did Global Warming create them ,LOL

Making the point that it is GEOTHERMAL activity heating some of the ice sheets that have fractured lately...

NOT “people”!!

More scare mongering. If the volcanoes erupt, it will be a natural occurrence, not ‘man made/caused.’ I wonder what these scare mongers are going to propose as a ‘solution?’

“The big question is: how active are these volcanoes? That is something we need to determine as quickly as possible.”

And why, not like we can do any thing about it.

And not very other wise we would have know about them sooner.

But please send me millions of dollars so I can study this.

Interesting to know but I certainly see no immediate urgency in investigating them. What will anyone do with more knowledge of them? It certainly isn’t like anyone can “do” anything to prevent the disaster this guy is mouthing off about.

“The big question is: how active are these volcanoes? That is something we need to determine as quickly as possible.”

Pffft. Why? So this guy can make more trips to Antartica and somehow hope to gain self-importance?

The world has not ended before we had this knowledge and it will not end if we have more knowledge of it nor will we be able to somehow make the world persist longer or better.

"This is in addition to 47 already known about and eruption would melt more ice in region affected by climate change."

Is it "more ice in region affected by climate change", or "more ice in region already affected by other volcanos"?

The answer, to me, is quite obvious. It's funny these idiots don't see it as well.

Volcanic activity would do what "climate change" can't do, which is melt the ice cap and make the continent habitable.

A question they did not ask is how much of the heat within the volcanic formations is a current factor in any of the melting of the West Antarctic ice sheet.

You mean those air temperatures that have an average high temperature for the year in Antarctica of -49 degrees F, while the average low temperature for the continent is about -56 degrees F? God forbid the earth warms 1 degree over the next 100 years. [I hope I don't need the sarc tag]

None. Absolutely none. There is no heat coming from any volcanoes under the ice sheet...............Baghdad Bob...................

I was reading about this kind of stuff back around the turn of the century regarding the north pole. It’s one of the things that solidified my believing that the AGW thing is a hugh hoax.

Have to wonder if there is a correlation between arctic ice thickness and the likelihood of a supervolcano in California. It would seem that there is a lot of energy in the earth’s core that is seeking to be released. Uh oh.

“Theory suggests that this is occurring because, without ice sheets on top of them, there is a
release of pressure on the regions’ volcanoes and they become more active.”


See, Climate Change causes everything...even vulcanism...these warmist clowns are unreal.

Their hypothesis that due to global warming, the volcanoes will “release pressure once the ice that covers them is melted. Thus erupting and causing more ice to melt.

These geniuses are ignoring “snowball earth”. Ice covered the entire surface of the earth, covering volcanoes that eventually erupted and split the continents. Maybe they should watch “How the earth was made. Birth of Earth”.

These scientists give me no confidence.

They could drop The National Ex-Wife into the volcanoes. Then the hottest thing in nature would be quelled by the coldest force in the universe.

When these volcanoes erupt, those living at the tip of South America should stand outside with buckets and collect the ice so scientists can put it all back! Problem solved!

*SNORT*

How anyone with half a brain can’t see through this Global Warming/Climate change CR@P is beyond me. Just seeing how Loserman Algore has ENRICHED HIMSELF should be your FIRST clue that this is a SCAM of epic proportions!
