Ice cap thaw may awaken Icelandic volcanoes

OSLO (Reuters) – A thaw of Iceland's ice caps in coming decades caused by climate change may trigger more volcanic eruptions by removing a vast weight and freeing magma from deep below ground, scientists said on Friday.

Perhaps, but no as elegantly stated.

good for a laugh

[stylin19a]

course, now they have to explain deep sea volcanoes erupting

Volcanic activity suspected in melting of Greenlands Ice, not global warming.

Awwww, horseshit. We are expected to accept ever muttering of the 4th Estate as God's Very Word?

Nyet! Nyet, I say!

Chrissy and Helen ain't profits....oops....er...prophets?

Please Georgie Soros, come closer...closer....I can almost get your neck in my grasp, you souless, unloving bastard.

Will it awaken Godzilla too?

Ice can be a considerable weight but I just don’t think it has anything to do with this volcano.

As some billion trillion tons of ice on the north american continent melted at the end of the ice age, the land lifted considerably, (and is still lifting) I don’t believe there was any great spike in volcanism.

Ever wonder why you never stop hearing about studies finding GW responsible for everything from kidney stones to cannibalism? Explains MIT's Richard Lindzen: "It's become standard that whatever you're studying, include global warming's effects in your proposal and you'll get your (government) funding."

Sure, and it’s also causing jock itch in Albania.

Sorry. I typed what I was thinking. You’re quite right, of course...

Oh horseshit.........here we go.............

Didn’t you know that snow at a chilly 0 degrees F or C has a way of chilling magma running at even mild few hundred degrees?

I’ve put a bag of ice into a boiling pot of water and watched it instantly freeze over. CRAZY I KNOW! But science is real!

Do I need to really put the tag here?

It is a known scientific fact that energy is required to heat H20 from solid state to liquid state, while remain a 0 degrees Celsius. This hardly supports that idiotic notion that GW is causing volcanic activity, which is driven by magma movement from interior of earth to surface. The mechanism(s) involved are not clearly understood, so that long term predictions are not possible at this time.
GW, which concerns itself with atmospheric temperature conditions, can in no way, have a causality effect upon volcanic activity. IMHO

Wait ...didn’t Al Gore say it was millions of degrees down there?

This volcano is throwing over tons of rock into the stratosphere every second. When you have that kind of force and heat available I'm thinking melting a little ice would be no big deal.
