I guess this was just overlooked by the super genius's that blame Humans for Global Warming.

If you go to the site,Not by Fire but by Ice, you will see that Felix is trying to debunk the global warming crowd. According to Felix, we are about to enter a new ice age, which is a cyclical event that occurs every 11,500 years. It has nothing to do with man. ................. The warming of the ocean by volcanic activity releases more CO2 into the atmosphere. It has nothing to do with human activity. It is not global warming, but ocean warming.

Thank you!

Maybe our planet is smarter than we are.

LOL.......... for sure.

Yes.

It's very convenient that enviro-weenies have avoided the reality of this important phenomenon for decades in their zest to blame all of "Global Warming" on man and evil capitalism.

It's still Bush's fault ... somehow.

A chilling article...

I read the book. Felix makes a very compelling case that we are entering a new ice age.

The writer probably never took physics, and the vast majority of the readers have not, either. Converting the temps to an arcane rubric like Kelvin scale (which no one except scientists use) is rather silly for a newspaper article. I took enough physics to get me thru pchem (one year) and cannot remember when I used the Kelvin scale once in the succeeding 29 years.

You made your point. You are technically correct and most of us don't understand......., nor do we care.

Yes he does. He is a serious man with no apparent ax to grind.

My point is that a person who is trying to convince you that an event is occurring and is citing scientific articles should have at least a basic background in the sciences. I don't really care if you know the Kelvin scale. You aren't writing the article and drawing the conclusions.

Global warming is real, not from above but, from below! I've read there are new islands forming below the ocean around Hawaii that will eventually add to the chain. Are there underwater volcanoes in the Caribbean?

And people wonder why the general public doesn't trust scientists. There's nothing the scientists said but the science writer makes these statements and people often just assume the scientists support it.

Do they know if this is all NEW volcanic activity or old volcanic activity that we have just learned about?

[gridlock]

Where do they get these science writers? Good grief!

The mind reels...

This could explain a few things about warming water and melting ice.

Not to mention running submarines into seamounts.

The writer was trying to impress scientificly-illiterate readers more than he was trying to be accurate

I've long speculated that El Niño is created by underwater volcano vents. It's the only thing that makes sense to me. Some years the venting is worse than others, accounting for worse weather conditions.

amazing find,

i would have never thought about it... did not actually realize this even goes on, the sheer numbers...

"No, I was specifically commenting on the fact that the writer thought that 2150 F is ten times the boiling point.

Of what? Water at atmospheric pressure?"

You're absolutely right.

In fact, water at about 2200 meters below the surface, and lower, will never boil, no matter what the temperature, because it is above the critical pressure (about 3200 psi).
