BUT WAIT !!

Al Gore must be writhing in glee. Happily for global warming alarmists, there is scary news today about the North Pole melt. The story is a Page One exclusive in the UK's Independent newspaper, picked up by news outlets worldwide and states:

"It seems unthinkable, but for the first time in human history, ice is on course to disappear entirely from the North Pole this year.

...one of the most dramatic – and worrying – examples of the impact of global warming on the planet."

OH BUT WAIT !! Hang on a tiny second. An article from the Paris AFP describes what researchers call astonishing...

"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 1,800 kilometres (1,100 miles) from the northern tip of Greenland to Siberia."

Multiple undersea volanoes under the ice cap spewing eruptions as big as Pompeii?? Uh...could this be the answer to the CAUSE of artic ice melt? Even... dare I say it?....global warming (assuming it even exists)? Makes sense, doesn't it, considering even alarmists cite ocean temperature as a key tipping point.
