Duh! Could that be why the polar ice caps are melting? and NOT global warming?

Volcanoes Could Trigger Bigger Climate Impact Than Thought

http://www.livescience.com/14992-climate-impact-volcanoes-eruptions.html

Volcanic eruptions might affect Earth’s climate more than thought by releasing far more weather-altering particles than scientists’ suspected, new research finds.

To help tease out the influence of volcanoes on global climate, researchers investigated the huge eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland on March 20, 2010. They monitored the volcano’s enormous plume, which spread all over Europe, from a research station in France.

The eruption rapidly ejected large ash particles into the atmosphere. The researchers then analyzed how many secondary particles this ash generated upon reacting chemically with other components of the atmosphere. The particles created from the eruptions were mostly composed of sulfuric acid and grew over time.

If sulfuric acid particles become large enough, they can behave as seeds for cloud formation. Clouds, in turn, can alter the amount and type of precipitation an area receives.

The atmospheric data the researchers collected during the Eyjafjallajökull eruption suggest that volcanic eruptions can release up to 100 million times more ash particles than thought. In addition, seeding particles can form at lower altitudes and farther distances from volcanoes than past studies had suggested.

We don’t even have a clue about much of the ocean floor but we know for certain that man is causing the seas to rise from global warming.

One of my kooky “beliefs” (ponderings and musings more than belief) is that Atlantis was in the antarctic archipelago and sank due to a volcanic disturbance.

Keep looking guys; now that you’ve found the heating system for R’lyeh, Cthulhu’s home can’t be much further away!

tHAT COULDN’T AFFECT CURRENTS OR THE OCEAN TEMPERATURES

here’s another volcanic eruption..ongoing for a month in Africa’s Rift Valley...that doesn’t get press for various reasons. Only time MSM mentioned it, and mis-identified it, was when it inconvenienced Hitlery & Huma.

A LOT of SO^2 from it; NASA said the MOST it had ever detected from space.

The link gives an (almost) daily update of the activity, casualties, inaction, etc. from Day 1 to today.

There was FR thread when it happened, but not a mention since that I know of.

I recall reading about them some time ago. It was said in the article that the volcanoes were most likely responsible for the break up of huge ice flows down there.

Whew!

Good thing we elected Obama and the ocean levels have begun to fall as a result. Or we might never have found these mountains. Now that he helped us find them... we just pass a bill to regulate their output... right?

And here I thought that everything was known.
