re: People in Iceland hold funeral for a glacier

Lest we forget that the Mid Atlantic ridge goes north-south through Iceland and Iceland has a number of active volcanoes associated with that ridge.

The Island of Heimay, to the south, used to be said to have an extinct volcano overlooking the town. Until the volcano reawakened and destroyed a lot of houses and only through massive efforts did that island retain its deep water harbor that happened to be in the cone of a different extinct volcano.

Volcanoes erupt under the glaciers all the time. Before there were seismographs, the sign of an eruption was sometimes as ash cloud breaking through the glacier. Other times it was just a massive flood of melt water coming out from under the glacier.

And okjokull? It's on top of a so-called extinct volcano. Anyone want to see the heat signature variation of that volcano over the past several hundred years?

You are speaking about man-made climate change. I don’t believe man or co2 is diriving the change. I believe the climate has never been stagnant, is changing and will always change. I believe the data shows that temp changes drive co2 levels, not the other way around. I believe that there are a handful of socialists that believe if they can cause enough panic, people will hand them control of the private sector. I believe the rest of you are true believers/useful idiots that are eventually going to get them what they want.

Think everyone agrees with that in terms of the history of the earth. However in terms of the history of humans, which actually matters, the change right now is abnormal.
