Yea, but everyone knows that volcanoes are caused by global warming... you see, all our cars cause volcanoes by...errr... uhhhh.... well it doesn't matter, the debate is over. Global warming causes volcanoes.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

STOP THAT! I am working on a grant to study my thesis that the Arctic is freezing volcanoes!

[CedarDave]

Global warming PING!

Could someone make these in volcano-size?

Let’s start a “melting pool” to guess the date this summer of the complete arctic meltdown. I place $10 on the 12th of never.

"The Land That Time Forgot"

Great movie! A true sci-fi classic.

"Negotiating an underwater tunnel [beneath the ice] to gain the island's interior, those aboard U-33 are amazed to discover a tropical prehistoric world kept warm by volcanic forces. Here dinosaurs that should be long extinct live and roam, as do a curious race of humanoid savages that appear to exhibit all the various phases of Man's evolutionary development. To survive long enough to repair and replenish the U-boat, wartime enemies must put aside their differences and cooperate with one another. But not everyone is playing from the Kumbaya songbook... The Land That Time Forgot is a thoroughly old fashioned sci-fi/fantasy adventure of the type they weren't really making anymore even in 1975. A lot of this has to do with the script sticking to Burroughs' Victorian style. (His Caprona tales were first published in 1918; as late as World War II he'd still be cranking out novels in the writing style of the 19th Century.) The film's a throwback to the likes of the original King Kong and potboilers such as Unknown Island (1948) and The Land Unknown (1957), only in color."

Volcanic eruptions reshape Arctic ocean floor: study
June 25, 2008 | AFP

Recent massive volcanoes have risen from the ocean floor deep under the Arctic ice cap, spewing plumes of fragmented magma into the sea, scientists who filmed the aftermath reported Wednesday.

The eruptions -- as big as the one that buried Pompei -- took place in 1999 along the Gakkel Ridge, an underwater mountain chain snaking 1,800 kilometres (1,100 miles) from the northern tip of Greenland to Siberia.

Scientists suspected even at the time that a simultaneous series of earthquakes were linked to these volcanic spasms.

But when a team led of scientists led by Robert Sohn of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts finally got a first-ever glimpse of the ocean floor 4,000 meters (13,000 feet) beneath the Arctic pack ice, they were astonished.

What they saw was unmistakable evidence of explosive eruptions rather than the gradual secretion of lava bubbling up from Earth's mantle onto the ocean floor.

From Ohio State University News, Dec 2007...

EARTH'S HEAT ADDS TO CLIMATE CHANGE TO MELT GREENLAND ICE

COLUMBUS , Ohio -- Scientists have discovered what they think may be another reason why Greenland 's ice is melting: a thin spot in Earth's crust is enabling underground magma to heat the ice.

They have found at least one “hotspot” in the northeast corner of Greenland -- just below a site where an ice stream was recently discovered.

The researchers don't yet know how warm the hotspot is. But if it is warm enough to melt the ice above it even a little, it could be lubricating the base of the ice sheet and enabling the ice to slide more rapidly out to sea.

Have you seen this one yet?

[Dr._Joseph_Warren]

scientists at the National Snow & Ice Data Center in Colorado are predicting that the North Pole will be completely free of ice this summer.

If thats the case, shouldn't Florida be under water?

[happygrl]

This has been my theory for a number of years, and I've made postings to FR stating just that.

I believe that one of the factors in any variation in climate is the ocean temperature, and that it is highly influenced by undersea volcanos.

Nothing complicated, just common sense combined with information that is available.

You'll note that the Arctic Ocean is warming from the west, up from the Aleutians and the Ring of Fire.

No they aree not. It is clearly the plastic bags and unrecycled aluminum cans

	Gods Graves Glyphs	Thanks gleeaikin. Sidebar -- That "first time melting in 50 million years" bull was trotted out in the late 1990s by a shill at the NY Slimes; Letterman reiterated it in his monologue all that week, then noted at last that it had been pointed out (again by the Slimes) to be a baldfaced lie.

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

-Robert Frost

"From the viewpoint of science, the North Pole is just another point on the globe, but symbolically it is hugely important," says the center's Mark Serreze. "There is supposed to be ice at the North Pole, not open water."

Perhaps, off and on. I wonder where the explorers several hundred years ago got the legend of a "Northwest Passage".

[syriacus]

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