It was more recent than that. I just saw it happen in Alien V. Predator movie.

And thank God it did. Otherwise we’d be up to our asses in those aliens that pop out of your chest.

The global warming scam has nothing to do with saving the planet. It is about harming capitalism and spreading socialism.

“Volcanic heat “cannot explain the more widespread thinning of West Antarctic glaciers that together are contributing nearly 0.2mm (0.008 of an inch) per year to sea-level rise,” he adds.”

By 2100 the sea level will have raised 3/4 inch; I’m moving.

ok...so Congress is going to have an emergency session to discuss exactly what legislation needs to be passed to fight volcanic eruptions like this that threaten the polar caps.
And they’ll have to figure out a way to pin the blame and the cost on big bad business.

no sweat.

Oops! Foot, not inch, see #16.

Guess I may as well go pack.

I was half convinced that you were yanking my chain but I wasn't sure. Now a days so many seemingly normal people suddenly start babbling the Global Warming mantra, it get very hard to tell the true believers from the cynics. Sorry if I got all pompous on you. Your "two centuries of accurate data" should have given it away.

How does this compare with the recent [past decade?] eruption in Iceland which caused so much glacial melt?
