Volcanic eruptions reshape Arctic ocean floor: Evidence of the volcano came as an unintended bonus from a research plan to investigate why a massive ice sheet, known as the Larsen B, collapsed and broke up several years ago. Scientists hope to understand whether such a collapse is unique or part of a cycle that extends over hundreds of thousands of years. Hmmm? I wonder if this has anything to do with the ice sheets breaking off and falling into the ocean? I researched and found this: From: www.antarticconnection.com Is it global warming or just a natural occurence? Please comment. Its something to think about! 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 1800 kilometres (1100 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 4000 meters (13000 feet) beneath the Arctic pack ice, they were astonished. What they saw was unmistakable evidence of …
Do u realize, that this video is not my personal opinion. That it is backed up by science. Read the column that came with the video. Email him, and tell him that he is wrong. All wrong, and you are right.
Do you have any idea how many volcanoes it would take to raise the arctic temperatrue by a degree – do the maths it is 10,000s. And that is not the end of it there, because these would have to be new volcancoes to be causing the unusual heating and loss of sea ice and the icecap that have been observed.
Another slight problem is that vocanic eruptions cool the atmosphere and heat the ionosphere, we are observing the exact opposite of that.
this is also a source of atmospheric heating. but its very small compared to man made gases which exceeds all emissions from all active volcanos on the planet (or in other words 8000 times the amount of what pinatubo emits per year!). Go an get the figures.
earth is constantly changing.. if one part is pulling apart then the other part ll be plunged beneath one another
well… guys last night (i know this video is old) there was an eruption in Greenland… or Iceland i always get them confused… anyways… yea… first Haiti, then Chile (HAARP?) and now volcanic eruptions… we are so fuckin screwed lol
what’s to think about other than we just found out about something that has been there for millions of years.
Have you ever flown in a plane and seen pollution layers from horizon to horizon?
Use google earth and see how hard it is to find someplace on Earth that has not been paved, farmed, mined Etc.
There are no wild places left, even the deserts are covered by tire tracks!
Oh yes we can affect the climate.
Only someone whose never looked out the window on a plane could feel otherwise.
Please refer back to the sources for more information. It is something to think about.
Thats something we wil never truly know in our life time =]
However it is one theory for the Permian mass extinction.
“At least 13.5 wt% CO2 is necessary to fragment magma at these depths, which is about tenfold the highest values previously measured in a mid-ocean-ridge basalt.” – R. Sohn (2007) Nature.
Basically looks like higher CO2 than other MORBs based on a calculation NOT direct measure of CO2.
Implications for climate change forcing seem improbable and, at best, premature.
Is this Volcano pyroclatic because of its chemical/minerlogical make up or because theres water getting in with the magma?
Oh and the link doesnt appear to work.
Oh come on. We are enviromentalitst, the volcano idea… too ambitious
It’s fascinating that there are so few(1?) videos on youtube mentioning this, considering how significant it sounds. I wonder where the humanity is heading, very interesting times…
Finally. In a different and fantastic in your face approach. Evidence of a very convenient truth!
