Science: An Icelandic scientist says climate change spurs volcanic eruptions such as the one disrupting air traffic in Europe. Rather, the evidence suggests volcanoes cause global cooling and Arctic ice to melt.
The stunning eruption of a volcano under Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull glacier has disrupted air traffic over the continent of Europe as vast plumes of steam and ash were spewed into the atmosphere. Once again, we witness the power of nature over man even as man blames himself for nature's acts.
Almost every malady on earth has been blamed on global warming, so it wasn't all that surprising when Freysteinn Sigmundsson, a volcanologist at the University of Iceland, and Carolina Pagli, a geophysicist at the University of Leeds, blamed the Icelandic eruption on man-made climate change.

If all scientists tell the truth then not all scientists tell the truth.
“Almost every malady on earth has been blamed on global warming, so it wasn’t all that surprising when Freysteinn Sigmundsson, a volcanologist at the University of Iceland, and Carolina Pagli, a geophysicist at the University of Leeds, blamed the Icelandic eruption on man-made climate change.”
If it weren’t so frustrating, costly and dangerous, it would be hilarious, these people.
So global warming melts the ice, not the lava.
That would be like turning the air conditioner up one degree then taking an ice cube and putting it on a hot pan on the stove and saying it’s the one degree difference in room temperature causing the ice cube to melt.
Kind of an environmentalist's dilemma, no? Gotta ruin the earth to save it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
These “experts” are hilarious!!
Alright, the premise that melting ice caps induced the eruption is almost as funny as the idea that volcanic eruptions on the Gakkel Ridge started in 1999. OH dear God.
Do they also not realize that magma is definitely hot enough to melt ice from even deep within the Earth?
Do liberals also not understand that you eliminate the simplest explanation first before you start inventing new, more complex theories if you want to serve science and truth?
Guess not.
What rubbish. 650’ of ice keeps the lid on a volcano? Volcanos erupt on the ocean floor with much more on top of them than 650 ‘ of ice. Try 20K - 35K feet of sea water. Next......
The important is to tax that volcano,,being as the American taxpayes are the most affulent they will bear the entire burden of the tax. (That’s how it’s done in Wash D.C. ain’t it ?) Now. on to more pressing scams!!!
“Im pretty sure if you put a slab of ice on a pot of boiling water the ice will never melt unless you put a running SUV in the same room.”
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
That appears to be an accurate summation of global warming theory. Of course some say that a gathering of conservative Republicans would substitute for the SUV.
Hey that mullah in Iran said it was good looking women in bikini’s. Well I guess that more warm weather could cause more beach babes, but they need to resolve the causality before making these blanket statements.
Two words, Yellowstone caldera.
it had to exlode...the core is millions of degrees.
just ask algore.
Probably. And if they ever acquire an interest in serving, science OR truth, that's probably what they'll do.
But then the Marines will all become corpses...oh wait...
Well, the earth certainly moved for me...
God gets mad if women wear all black?? What's your preacher's take on 1 Peter 3:3-4 "3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. 4 Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight." (NIV) That would seem to RECOMMEND modest dress. And what about the Amish? Has someone told THEM about this?
