Scientific consensus has determined that plumes of this nature have no measurable effect on ocean temperatures. /s
I guess back in igneous petrology, we were taught that these were called “hotspots.” The Hawaiian Islands have been formed as they moved across it to form the volcanoes that form the chains.
Hmmmm..Phil Jones and his cabal should take notice of how science is supposed to work.
I’d love to see an illustration of this effect.
That should be interesting, one plume under the sea bed and one under the crust.
Don’t get too excited about this. It could be a complete fabrication, with falsified data and all. Remember this is from Nature. Didn’t they recently come out defending the UEA Climate Frauds, and claiming they did nothing wrong?
Birds of a feather...
But What About The Hawaiian Volcanic Chain?

Wandering hot spots worry geologists"Hot spots" where plumes of molten magma break through the Earth's crust appear to be wandering across the planet - a discovery that undermines many of the accepted ideas about how the Earth's tectonic plates are moving... [A] new study by Robert Duncan of Oregon State University in Corvallis and his colleagues shows that the Hawaiian hot spot has probably shifted... "People suspected that hot spots were moving," says geologist Robert Butler of the University of Arizona in Tuscon. "But the one they all wanted to hang onto was the biggest, baddest hot spot of them all - the Hawaiian hot spot."
