Global warming to lead to more volcano eruptions, researchers warn

GLOBAL warming could lead to huge volcanic eruptions across the globe which could wipe out millions of people, researchers have warned.

Scientists state that the world is steadily warming, which is leading to the polar ice caps melting.

However, as the ice in the north and south poles continues to melt, this could lead to the eruptions of volcanoes.

This is because ice sheets and glaciers can help to maintain the structure of volcanoes and mountains.

Gioachino Roberti, a PhD student at the University of Clermont Auvergne, said: “Imagine the ice like some sort of protective layer – when the ice melts away, the mountain is free to collapse.

“If your mountain is a volcano you have another problem.

“Volcanoes are a pressurised system and if you remove pressure by ice melting and landslide, you have a problem.”

Now, if they can just tie sunspots to SUV’s............................

More volcanos means more dust and sulfur in the atmosphere. That drives down temperatures, increasing ice caps.
A classic feedback mechanism.

Well.....lets talk about tectonic plate movement. As the polar caps melt, it actually ADDS water weight to the surface of the planet. 1 gallon=8lbs. Do the math if 30 million cubic feet of ice melt adds to the ocean.
If you haven't noticed quake activity is up over the last 10 years or so coinciding with the 'warming' scare.
This happens every few thousand years when the plates move a lot due to water weight and a number of larger earthquakes occur. With these there is also a lot of volcanic activity because the quakes release energy to help volcanic activity, this in turn produces a lot of ash and smoke in the atmosphere that keeps the sun from warming the planet, hence global 'cooling' and the atmosphere regulates itself again.

I thought the north and south pole ice was melting from below due to heat from the earth. So, if that's true and we get more volcanoes, the earth caused it.

Ummmm... you actually think that the ice weighs nothing and when it melts, the weight suddenly appears?

(The density of ice is slightly lower, which is why it floats... but the mass of water is not greater than that of ice... it merely occupies a slightly different volume of space. Density = mass / volume.)

Bull$hit. And they know it.

I believe what volcanoes launch into the atmosphere causes cooling, that high volcanic years have caused some global cooling.

If so, maybe volcanoes are Earth’s natural response (regardless of what caused warming, which we know is old Sol)?

"Imagine the ice like some sort of protective layer"

Imagine the damage Global Hot Air is doing to the Planetary Force Field protecting us from alien invader's death rays!

If this is damaged, the only protection we'll have left, is for all 6 billion of us to individually wear tin foil hats.

But now they can say ever time a volcano erupts, “See more global warming” and “the ash will only make GW worse, we need to do something drastic now!” Sound familiar? Just like tornadoes and hurricanes. Soon every natural event will be a sign if the horrors of global warming. This really is the greatest scam of all time. Make the Vatican and fish Friday’s during Lent conspiracy seem like pikers.

"GLOBAL warming could lead"
"this could lead"
"Today’s increasing temperature is likely"

There is NOTHING in nature NOT CAUSED by “global warming” GOT IT!!!! And if not for “global warming” earth weather & climate would be in a never ending static perpetual state of peace and tranquility, don’t ya know.

[oldasrocks]

Don’t these people know that volcano eruptions cause global cooling? so it should be good news that eruptions are occurring.

To counter act the global cooling we should bring back more gas guzzling cars to counter balance the whole system.

To stop these potential eruptions they should be trying to find a few virgins to throw in the volcanoes like they used to do. Maybe a Craigslist ad or two?

This follows the theory of how to pop a zit....put a heating pad on it.

What isn’t caused by Global Warming? I guess Global Cooling...
