Anyone who is close buddies with Algore, get word to him so he can start investing in refrigeration stock before the releases his new movie "An Inconvenient Warming Mantle Truth." The temperature down there must be a billion degrees and we must stop it.
Actually if this superplume does what SPs often do, that is blow sky high with giant ash falls, then we are in big trouble. A huge quantity of ash on the snowy surface of Antarctica would speed up melting of the snow under the ash as the sun’s heat was absorbed by the ash. Thus we would have the one two punch of tremendous heat from the blast plus long term heating from the sun on the ash fall. Has anyone estimated the amount of sea level rise from such a scenario?
