Ice cap thaw may awaken Icelandic volcanoes

OSLO-A thaw of Iceland's ice caps in coming decades caused by climate change may trigger more volcanic eruptions by removing a vast weight and freeing magma from deep below ground, scientists said on Friday.
They said there was no sign that the current eruption from below the Eyjafjallajokull glacier that has paralysed flights over northern Europe was linked to global warming. The glacier is too small and light to affect local geology."Our work suggests that eventually there will be either somewhat larger eruptions or more frequent eruptions in Iceland in coming decades," said Freysteinn Sigmundsson, a vulcanologist at the University of Iceland."Global warming melts ice and this can influence magmatic systems," he told Reuters. The end of the Ice Age 10,000 years ago coincided with a surge in volcanic activity in Iceland, apparently because huge ice caps thinned and the land rose."We believe the reduction of ice has not been important in triggering this latest eruption," he said of Eyjafjallajokull. "The eruption is happening under a relatively small ice cap."

PS:They(the globalists and his minions)keep trying to push this global warming hoax again...Excuse me..."climate change"...They are just there waiting for something big weather related to happen in the world somewhere to blame it on global warming and try to spin that up again....

Well...a muslim cleric came with a reason for earthquakes too today...so I guess everybody has their own opinions....

As in the days of Noah...
