While I have little doubt that this group is wrong about what causes increased volcanic activity, I completely agree with their theory/findings that increased volcanic activity IS connected to the beginning of ice ages (large and small).

Doesn’t volcanic activity have a fifteen year cycle?.

Global warming causes sunspots, too.

Wrong,wrong,wrong. You can’t have global warming occurring millions of years ago without man-made industrial evil pollution.
Everybody with a brain knows that.

Maybe the volcano gods would be appeased if we threw Al Gore into an erupting caldera. With like, a big slingshot or trebuchet or something.

You may be thinking of the 11 year solar cycle?

One heck of a grease fire would ensue, but maybe it’d flame out. Go for it.

“Yeah this one is quite a stretch.”
Indeed, a ‘stretch’ worthy of Plastic Man. Unfortunately, this article was not authored by comic book writer.

Conversely, the idea that climate may also affect volcanic eruptions on a global scale and over long periods of time is completely new.Uh huh.
"There were periods when we found significantly more large eruptions than in others" says Kutterolf, the lead author of the Geology article.After comparing these patterns with the climate history, there was an amazing match. The periods of high volcanic activity followed fast, global temperature increases and associated rapid ice melting.
Maybe all that magma in proximity to the surface had something to do with the ice melting...
Cart before the horse to squish it into an agenda, methinks.

Maybe all that magma in proximity to the surface had something to do with the ice melting... Especially so as to arctic ice melt.

I can buy the possibility of ice over a volcano melting and causing an eruption due to the pressure release but in this case they’re blaming melting ice flowing into the oceans causing a pressure increase on the seafloor.
The weight of ice melting would be spread over the entire global seafloor and I just can’t see it being enough cause eruptions.

If correct and I understand the hypothesis, you would expect to find the once glacier covered laurentian shield area of Canada covered in volcanos. Most volcanos are found at the edges of continental plates.
I understand that there is an active volcano under several thousand feet of ice somewhere in Antarctica.

And hopefully this will not happen for some time. (As are the Russians.)
Thanks for posting.

Didn't the Manya predict a mushroom like cloud, could be they missed it by a few days /s

I’d guess I’d be worried if I bought the propaganda about the ice caps melting.
