I hope they’re correct, but if there’s a tremendous amount of magma pouring into the ocean I think we have a problem. The magma could be as much as 2,150 degrees Fahrenheit - 10 times the boiling point – which could lead to much warmer seas and thence to an ice age.

Where do they get these science writers? Good grief!

I could never understand the "warming oceans equals new ice age" logic, either. It's all a bunch of hooey. They're just covering all the bases so no matter what happens they can come back and say: "See? We were right!"

If you're referring to the comment about warmer seas leading to an ice age, that's not so ridiculous; warmer seas lead to more atmospheric moisture which snows out at the poles etc... but I suspect that a source with a name like "iceagenow" may not be perfectly unbiased.

I have no idea how hot magma is. I just heard about the heat of McDonald's hot coffee.

Hey - 2150 degrees F = 1177 degrees C - that's over ELEVEN times the boiling point !!!

LOL... I guess 106 F would be 'half boiling' and 64 F is 'twice the melting point'...
