Must be Global Warming.

Actually, you're not far off the mark. Scientist believe that the thinning ice at the poles allows more harmful UV light to penetrate to greater depths. This in turn, cause an increase in the seabed temperature. Since the mantel is thinnest in the polar regions (Dr. Leaon Garaiboski, U of Moscow, 1923-1969; "The Influences of Variable Mantel Thicknesses on Magma Concentrations, pgs 577 - 624), magma is more likely to surface in these newly warmed areas. Unless something to reverse this trend, drilling in arctic regions is likely to give us more volcanos than oil.

What a bunch of unadulterated BS. Exactly how many more watts/m**2 do you expect hitting the seafloor?

Answer: Approximately 0.

I read an account of the reverse actions = the active undersea volcanoes, which are always active - ask anyone living in Iceland - and whose activity fluctuates (always has, probably always will) is the CAUSE of the ice melting.

Undersea volcanoes in the Arctic have caused islands to form and islands to disappear...a pattern that will likely continue.

It must be the fault of those damnable Vikings that settled in Greenland a thousand years ago - running all over in their SUV's

-

Here’s an alternate data point:

The temperature of lava is 2,000 degrees.

That’s 10 times the boiling point of ... water!

Perhaps that’s causing the ice to melt?

But then, what would liberals tax?...

How would liberals, blame American capitalism?...

Which, of course, explains why there are more volcanoes at the equator than elsewhere and why, throughout history, there were more volcanoes during hot times than cold - NOT. What nonsense.

Something is being done to reverse this trend, A recent study from the University of Earth Hotness, has found that dumping large amonts of sunblocker into the artic oceans caused the volcanoes to quiet down within minutes.
This is called the “Dump Sunblocker to Block the Sun Effect”. go to this link, www.ultra/really/violent/raze.huh?

This is odd, I Googled the thinning ice and UV line first and nothing close; I then Googled the title of the pub you posted and nothing matched; next I Googled the author and Googled questioned the spelling.

Even more curious is the fact that I got a direct hit in each case on this thread.

Are you practicing?
