See? Global warming is so powerful that it even creates volcanos! There were no volcanos before the evil internal-combustion engine was created and now, thanks to capitalism, the earth’s surface will soon be covered in lava. I think this could be the theme of Al Gore’s next movie.

Personally, I think tofu is a culprit in glacier melting. Also skateboarding - that causes 37% of it. And sushi, there’s another 4%.

Iceland in the nineties when the Grimsvotn volcano blasted through the Vatnajokll glacier

Hey! Speak English so the rest of us can understand you! ;o)

Just kidding. I'd love to go to Iceland someday. Just finished reading "Red Storm Rising" for about the 6th time. I love the names of all the places. We knew a couple from Reykjavik when hubby was in Grad School. They were the nicest folks.

Volcanic heat could still be melting ice to water and contributing to thinning and speeding up of the Pine Island glacier

PLEASE NOTE.....

Pine Island Glacier, which is a very small area of the whole continent, is the ONLY part of Antarctica that is melting!

The rest is getting COLDER !

Yup, I always hate it when that happens, don't you?

Worst case of a local neighborhood volcano happened in Mexico nearly a century ago when one popped up in a guy's cornfield.

Definitely some bad ju ju.

It's been a laugh riot listening to the environazis tell us this would be the first time "fire melted ice"(paraphrasing Roseanne O'Donnell)

Oh NO!!!

You mean to tell me that 1300-2200° rock can melt -60° ice??

Who knew!

We Freepers have known for 5 years that thermal vents and volcanoes could affect polar ice.

That thread, from 2003, has these links, and several others.

I heard an interview months ago where the scientist said that there has been an increase in undersea volcanic activity way up there that has been warming the water
