After the team had collated the results, it reported a staggering 91 previously unknown volcanoes, adding to the 47 others that had been discovered over the previous century of exploring the region.

No, no, no...man made global warming is the cause of all ice melt. 91 volcanoes directly underneath the Antarctic ice sheet has nothing to do with it.

“Theory suggests that this is occurring because, without ice sheets on top of them, there is a release of pressure on the regions’ volcanoes and they become more active.” And this could happen in west Antarctica, where significant warming in the region caused by climate change has begun to affect its ice sheets. If they are reduced significantly, this could release pressure on the volcanoes that lie below and lead to eruptions that could further destabilise the ice sheets and enhance sea level rises that are already affecting our oceans.

Pretty impressive they have the foresight to blame global warming on volcanoes spewing hot lava and melting a continent worth of ice before it even happens.

They're blaming earthquakes in Alaska on climate change. No wonder people are skeptical
