QUOTE Volcanic eruptions reshape Arctic ocean floor: study Wed Jun 25, 4:13 PM ET PARIS (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. Full article - h e r e. Please note two things: there is no mention of "Global Warming" nor is their any suggestion that this Artic Floor Warming may somewhat explain the melting of sea ice in the Arctic. At least, not in this article. Will other's pick up on the possibility, or will the AGW folks stifle any sort of explanation for the sea ice melting that does not match up with their global warming alarmism? Will the main stream media report this at all since it doesn't fit the AGW "consensus"? Just wondering. -------------------- I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant!  |
