Oh brother! Next thing they´ll say is that we must bring back human sacrifices to appease Mother Gaia.

The study doesn´t address whether modern-day climate change would have any impact on the frequency of volcanic eruptions, though in theory it´s possible, Jegen said.

Theories are fun ...

...learned long ago that any scientific/medical article with "may" "might" or "could" in the title is to be passed by quickly.

Don´t remember if it was the History channel or Nat´l Geographic but I watched a report on what´s inside this planet. Thousands of miles down filled with rock, lava, diamonds, and all sorts of stuff I never heard of before. There is no way anyone on planet earth will ever, ever! do anything to affect the earth´s core.

news flash: self-importance and arrogance may effect your theories.

What "rapid rise in sea levels?" I have heard of no coastal flooding. The sky-is-falling doomsday weather predictions, based on faux climate change, are becoming laughable.

#3: In a related story, Salma Hayek ´may´ someday return one of my many phone calls...

Warm or cool... the water, pressing down on the hot guts of the Earth from whence come the volcanic mag-ma (doing my best Dr. Evil),...

...weighs the same. So how is *warm* water any more of a problem than *cool* water?

Look out for "new studies," especially if carried out by liberals. They specialize in lies published to further their agenda. What´s more, liberals predetermined outcome studies are typically funded with taxpayer money.

How about volcanic activity changes the earth´s climate?

Just a thought for study...

It´s so much more fun nowadays, since the scientific community adopted a new scientific method.

Wouldn´t global warming cause massive water evaporation, resulting in rain clouds to cover the planet ? That´s good, cause this pretzels are making me thirsty.

lol , too good . I´ve heard earthquakes have intensified too . That´s why Ca. has been cracking down on emissions the way it has .

I´ve noticed that lefties have been trying to tie climate "change" in with plate tectonics since the ´04 tsunami in the Indian Ocean. With enough years and enough dumbing-down of the populace, they´ll succeed.

Yes, and climate change causes stupidity in Liberals...so what else is new?

Grant money causes climate change theories.

Yet another brilliant scientific study from the Josef Mengele Institute for Research.

How convenient. These scientists state that the effects of ´man-made climate change´ won´t be evident for about 2500 years. Nevertheless, we must take action NOW. I think they publish this junk just to create opportunities to chastise ´deniers´.

Somebody needs to point out that sea levels have been rising (slowly) for thousands of years, and the current rate is the same as the historic rate. The faster rate is a "projection" based on "models." Enuff said.

Tail May Wag The Dog

This article in many ways fits the adage,"give a someone,(say scientists)a FACT and you will get thousands of theories to fit the fact. HUH? Also fta,"...it increases volcanic eruptions-----fold" Whats a fold? it is a multiplier. So how many "fold"? 2 or 2000 or what? Bah. So if some one is worried about it, go stick a cork in the craters. Yea, that´s the ticket.

I have a prediction: "Climate change" will cause a very bright comet to appear in the heavens next December. This will be a sign to the moonbats that the world is about to end.

Think of how much climate we could "save" if they stopped printing this garbage.

Looks like Geologists have finally figured out how to cash in on climatechange. Definitely below the curve.

ZZZzzzzzzzz

Yawn.

It´s Bush´s fault. /s

Hmmm, but not the other way around?

#1, the ´human sacrifices´ will commence just as soon as they´ve collected-up all the firearms.

"Scientists" today went to Obama schools, played video games, and watched Obama tv, resulting in no training for the task, and Obama conclusions.

Ok children, here is what you do for your next science fair project.
Get a glass and fill it about half way with water. This represents the ocean. Then put in several ice cubes. They represent ice bergs. Then take a black marks a lot and draw a line on the glass of the water level.
This represents the sea level of the earth.
Then put the glass of ice water in the sun. This represents global warming. Come back in a few hours after the ice bergs melt and mark the water line. WOW! It´s still at the same level! Eureka! Whowouldathunkit!

Next rent a helicopter, buy a case of Smirnoff vodka and fly over a Hawaiian volcanoe and drop in the vodka as an offering to Goddess Pele.

That should fix the problem. Class dismissed.

Crustal deformation by glacier ice is well-known. Huge swaths of Canada - and even the land around Chicago - are still rebounding upwards from the last ice age. It´s almost certain to *influence* volcanism. What is interesting is that this study determines that the influence is in the form of a general increase, instead of an increase here and a decrease there.

And though the study´s author seems guarded, maybe skeptical, regarding AGW, now that her theory and AGW have been mentioned in the same article, anthropogenic global warming has been *linked* to increased volcanism.

I´ve been reading about the gigantic linked volcanoes in Iceland which caused so much damage with ash. They are well overdue, and I defy anyone to stop them when they happen.

Did The Onion buy this rag and just not tell anybody?

Folks, these people are NEVER going to stop - - because they´re being financed very handsomely with money stolen from you.

And the more they steal - - the more they lust to steal again.

The sea levels aren´t rising - - but the balances in these communists´ bank accounts surely are.

Tia = Idiot

This Tia fool apparently hasn´t had any contact with real science since, oh, eighth grade. She has it exactly bass ackwards, of course. While it has been documented that volcanic eruptions can temporarily effect climate (vide: the Year Without a Summer in the early 1800´s), no one but a silly girl who has avoided real science and math would actually be ignorant enough to state that changes in climate cause volcanic eruptions.

What is distressing here is that there are probably several thousand school children who will be handed copies of this nonsense by their teachers, and who will go through life believing that climate change will set off volcanic eruptions.

Sorry. I stopped reading after "the rapid rise in sea levels".

Yea, maybe.

As a geologist I think I see the logic of what they are saying. I´m guessing the theory is that there would be continental rebound from removal of a super load caused by the melting of a mile thick glacier (rebound continues today in North America from the last Ice Age). The rebound area would have to be adjacent to a continental/ocean plate boundary where the ocean plate was then super loaded from the increased water depth (from melted ice) of 200´ to 300´. The differential pressure would cause mantle cracking at the plate boundary allowing lava to come to the surface as a volcano along these cracks.

I´m not aware of when in geologic time that glaciers occupied Costa Rica, but that would be required.

#39, thanks for weighing in; good to hear from an actual geologist!

And #12, ya nailed it, first take!
