Global Warming Slows Volcanic Activity

02/17/2014 4:35 AM

Despite various attempts to control events like this post, it is obvious that volcanic activity slows down in a general global warming climate.

The reason is quite clear when reading articles like this:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140216151713.html

The warming of the atmosphere reduces the temperature difference between magma chamber and surface and makes it less likely that the magma mobilises and erupts in a volcanic event.

This leads to some interesting conclusions which I want to draw from this:

  1. despite the atmospheric warming the global average soil temperature stays constant and the decrease in activity is solely attributed to the temperature differential of magma and atmosphere
  2. it has to be confirmed but there is s strong evidence that volcanoes will erupt predominantly in the colder month of the year
  3. if we were to warm the surface by say 5 deg C per year we could reach a save equilibrium in between 135 up to 255 years with no possible volcanic eruptions to fear

What is your take on this? Why is Science sitting on the numbers?

PS I wish admin would not move obvious commercial posts into the commercial section AFTER we complained about it being commercial. As it stand right now the commercial post then is in the correct section and we are looking like complaining bastards. Please admin, delete those/our then offending posts and don't let us stand corrected, when we were right in the first place!

Is the "Journal of Irreproducible Results" a subsidiary of "Science Daily"?

Thats all you got to say?

How many of the posts I just marked spam are going to be moved to Commercial and then I look stupid with a post below it that it belongs in the commercial section?

Not that I think our Norwegian friend giuelith will have the honor to be moved. Its a far too serious crime to post in education with a worthless spam.

But yet we dont make the rules here and can only point out the adds when we see them!

Don't mind the volcanoes. It's merely a side to the real problem at hand!

It was there a minute ago:

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/02/140216151713.htm

try this!

otherwise try http://www.sciencedaily.com

Article is

Volcanoes, including Mt. Hood, can go from dormant to active in a few months

Never mind? Did you see all the Spam?

Yes, I saw the spam but there is nothing I can do about it so...

That link worked, thanks.

Sorry, I don't get the joke.

There is nothing in the linked article that says anything about volcanoes and global warming. The conclusions you've drawn are your own and are not supported by this geological research.

If you just want to complain about people using CR4 to advertise, well, we all agree that is annoying. No point in going on and on about it. Make your complaint to CR4 and give them time to fix it.

The point is that if admin moves the post into the commercial section our posts like:

"has been reported"

or

"this belongs in the commercial section"

are invalid and should probably be removed otherwise it looks a bit stupid on our part!

I know the article is innocent. Sorry it was a joke! I was waiting for Mark to bite!

I looked at it, but fortunately, I'm not smart enough to have figured out your point.

I'm up at 4:30 or 5:00 eastern time, so every morning I'm treated to a plateful of spam garbage. I just ignore it. I don't even have to open the threads to recognize them.

Cleanup typically commences when admin gets to work.

Get a grip! Of course we have less volcanic activity when it gets warmer!

Wake up and have a coffee!

Rather than posting a comment that a thread is commercial, you'd be better to hit the report button. The admin group will see the problem more quickly if you report it than if you comment on it. As for the comments that no longer make sense after the thread is moved, we just don't have the resources to clean up all of that at this time. I'm not subscribing to comments on this thread so if you would like to discuss this further, please PM me. Thanks!

Not a problem! Thanks for cleaning up the mess today! As Mark said it is when you wake up that it usually happens. Seems I am up unusual hours. Report button is hit most of the time even without comments to OP.

Understand that resources have to be spend otherwise and for better purpose.

Its just for a few of us a reminder to change habit. Commenting on reportable threads is maybe not the best option!

Thanks for all your good work!

no offence but I think your conclusions are highly flawed. I'm not well versed on the topic at all but it makes little sense to that the link is that strong. magma as I understand it is directly connected to a molten core well under the crust of a planet, I'm extremely skeptical a few degrees of surface temp would quell volcanic activity. I'm not berating you, I just discount your assertions.

I succumb to your supperior knowledge and wisdom! You are quite correct that my assumptions are totally flawed.

I shall go forth now as I have been fighting too much spam today.

You missed the fun - oh no you have not been missing out on anything!

Is it beer o clock yet?

I'd think that this lunatic's employer would like to know the quality of their representatives. (or, that they've been hacked by a troll.

" 2. it has to be confirmed but there is s strong evidence that volcanoes will erupt predominantly in the colder month of the year"

The evidence does not support this assertion, whatsoever. Since you're not serious, I won't bother to find the link to the geological data available online.

---

On the other hand, there is strong evidence to support the assertion that commercial activity slows down in the colder month of the year. The burbling and spewing of spam may increase during this slowdown. No one is busy making sales. So please buy now, and more important, visit our website and buy online without leaving your warm den in the froziverse.

So, statistically, there are more eruptions in Winter than Summer?

I guess that would be a great way to support or more likely debunk that theory.

It would seem that the worldwide distribution of volcanic activity would be mostly random, since when it's summer in the northern hemisphere, it's winter in the southern hemisphere.

Statistically there is more likelihood of a world wide winter following a large volcano.

True.

Even the hypothesis that there are more eruptions in Winter, if they could be shown to be true, are a very poor correlation with any global warming trend, which is only a few degrees.

The delta change in global warming is a small fraction of the temperature delta between Winter and Summer.

And, the "delta change in global warming" is soooooooo out of our control anyway.

Io is a moon.. Ice cold and more volcanically active than all else.. friction powered.. not the other way around.

Pure unadulerated Bullshine!

Gas pressure always, always, always builds up in magma domes.

You read the wrong comic book again.

Stop reading publications but out by Marvel, that mention Texas A&M Aggies research in the title.
