Doesn’t volcanic activity have a fifteen year cycle?.
Global warming causes sunspots, too.
Wrong,wrong,wrong. You can’t have global warming occurring millions of years ago without man-made industrial evil pollution.
Everybody with a brain knows that.
Maybe the volcano gods would be appeased if we threw Al Gore into an erupting caldera. With like, a big slingshot or trebuchet or something.
Yeah this one is quite a stretch.
Uh huh.
"There were periods when we found significantly more large eruptions than in others" says Kutterolf, the lead author of the Geology article.After comparing these patterns with the climate history, there was an amazing match. The periods of high volcanic activity followed fast, global temperature increases and associated rapid ice melting.
Maybe all that magma in proximity to the surface had something to do with the ice melting...
Cart before the horse to squish it into an agenda, methinks.
“I completely agree with their theory/findings that increased volcanic activity IS connected to the beginning of ice ages”
And hopefully this will not happen for some time. (As are the Russians.)
Thanks for posting.
I’d guess I’d be worried if I bought the propaganda about the ice caps melting.

First of all this is not a brand new theory, I recently read a whole book on the volcanic activity in Europe as the Eurasian ice sheet melted at the end of the last ice age. Incidentally, the Pinatubo eruption had nothing to do with ice. However, it is very clear that the increased vulcanism in Europe at the end of the last ice age was probably triggered by the uplift of the land as the ice melted, rather than being connected to the beginning of an ice age. The Lacher Zee (sp?, can’t find my book) volcano in Germany, and volcanic activity in France occurred at that time, and there were also some very massive eruptions of Vesuvius, far larger than in historic times. These areas are on the north side of the plate for the movement of Africa.
There are no recent volcanic areas in the center of continental North America, however, there are some really old volcanic deposits (north and east?) near Yellowknife in Canada with Kimberlite deposits where diamonds have been discovered and I believe are being exploited now.
A pan of water on a hot burner eventually boils the water away and the pan melts. Now I know the cause for the water leaving the pan was global warming.
