These people will never, ever stop. Ever.

OH no they didn’t

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 with a straight face.

Anyone with half a mind would think that the Volcano’s are causing the ice to melt, but not these scientists. The melting is causing the volcano’s.

Is this really science? Maybe it’s me but I dont see how a couple of degrees in temperature can make magma come up from the earth and cause a volcanic eruption.

One thing is sure one of us is wrong.

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.

Meteorologists have enough difficulty forecasting the weather five days in advance and these clowns expect us to believe they can make forecast years into the future.

Rush Limbaugh was right! “It won’t take them long to blame this on global warming”. My main man was right again!

[Izzy Dunne]

... and the fact that ice melts in a pot in top of the stove makes the stove hotter.

Yeah, I'm buying it...

[conejo99]

On the other hand it may prevent future eruptions by relieving downward pressure, or may have no effect at all. We really don’t know, but since we need to publish articles to get tenure we decided to write this article anyway.

I also predict a melting of ice that will continue for about six months. Then, amazingly, I predict it will begin freezing again. (ps: it's called changing seasons)

[wolfcreek]

Yes. appaently if you have enough ice, you can plug a magma vent.

[cripplecreek]

They seem to be relying on the ignorance of the masses.

Ok, here’s what is really going on. geologic evolution,

The tectonic plates are moving. The opening of the mid Atlantic rift allows magama to flow upward at the Icelandic openings that are called volcanoes. While they exhibit volcanic activity, they are in fact lengthwise splits in the earth crust and are spreading.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, other plate edges are being scrunched together. This scrunching produces earth quake.

As the Mid Atlantic rift opens wider, the other plate boundaries narrow and there is subduction and quakes.

For every action, there is equal and opposite reaction

Kinda cool how they just discovered this, like 2 days after the volcano went up. Amazing coincidence.

[cripplecreek]

Funny how those volcanoes seem to pop up along the mid atlantic ridge like that huh?

[bert]

Excellent illustration

Remember boys and girls, only one kind of heat causes global warming.

The heat from the sun and the heat from the earth have no affect on the ice above a volcano, only the heat from burning evil fossil fuels can do that.
