Attached is an interesting article posted by the BBC on December 1st, 2011. The melting glaciers in Iceland caused near hysteria among the Global Warming crowd. They blamed it on CO2 and so called Global Warming. However, as the article points out there is a river of lava less than 1/2 mile below the surface under these glaciers. Its heat is melting the glaciers. The runoff, as you can imagine, is much warmer than traditional runoff from normal seasonal ice melt of the glacier. What does that warmer runoff do? It causes the sea water temperature to rise. DUHH!! The lava flow has Icelanders worried that the volcano under the glaciers is going to erupt. If you have followed my site then you know that over two years ago I gave these volcanoes in that region, many under the ocean, as one of the culprits in ice melt as well as rising ocean temperatures in the region. I'll remind you that many of the global warmers were stating that volcanoes under the arctic ice would not heat the water. How stupid can they be? Professor Ford Cochran is quoted as saying the eruption in 1755 produced volumes of water greater than all of the world's rivers combined. He also stated "It actually changed the world's climate!" Meanwhile global warmers continue trying to prove that CO2 is the culprit. One is quoted at the end of the article as saying that "volcanoes are not the largest enemy of the Icelandic glaciers. Global warming is." Just writing this makes me need a Rolaid and an aspirin.

My two cents-Tal Leverett
Where do these people get this? For one: LAVA is not hot and there is no way it can heat water and to prove it, whenever I turn on my LAVA Lamp and touch the glass, it is cool to the touch. So... if the LAVA in my lamp can not heat the water that is already "room temperature", how could LAVA possibly heat water that is coming directly from a previously "frozen" - now melting glacier???
ReplyDeleteSeriously tho: Do they really not think the heat from LAVA would change the water temperature or is it just more profitable to use global warming as a fear tactic?
I have always thought that a good sense of humor is a sign of intelligence and you just proved it. The mid-Atlantic Rift runs right through Iceland and is full of undersea volcanoes. Iceland is the only place where the rift surfaces. Otherwise the Rift is under sea ice during the winter, spewing out sea floor lava 24/7. Speaking of sense of humor, have you ever seen a global warmer smile? On tv or elsewhere? Thaks for the comment. Tal Leverett
