I have always said that climate change, or global warming, does not only affect what happens to ice caps, or the arctic, but what happens underneath the ground as well. And this particularly has to do with volcanoes across the globe, supervolcanoes in particular, and according to the article in the link below, dealing with the Japanese and North American regions, and possible eruptions that would have catastrophic repercussions. Unfortunately, the issue of climate change has become all too political, and has become too partisan, blinding us all to the real issue both above, and underneath the surface. As the article points out, global climate change on earth is a derivative of astronomical processes, and their cylicity. No one has to be a physicist or geologist to understand this stuff. Despite what NASA or other government institutions might say, disturbing revelations concerning global warming in relation to supervolcanoes such as Yellowstone, are often swept under the rug, to keep the public at bay until one day, we receive a emergency warning on our TV screens or radio stations a eruption of catastrophic proportions is deemed imminent. I don't write this to provoke fear, or come off as a environmental Alex Jones, but as a concerned citizen with the growing amount of seismic activity, and the global warming that is undeniably occurring. This article, although long to read, offers common sense solutions on a non-partisan level, to combat global warming, and prevent growing threats by nature (you're only poking the sleeping dragon to wake up, frackers). Whilst this article was published in 2014, the action that can be taken to prevent further seismic activity is as valid as it was then the article was first published. http://geocenter.info/en/pages/climatology-report-online The ground at Yellowstone, for example, has been rising with blobs of molten rock, inch by inch since 2004. And the amount of earthquakes that have increased to a magnitude at Yellowstone have increased to being classified as 4.0, approximately 3,000 of these earthquakes occurring per year. I think its clear, although the warning is subtle, we should not be f*cking with nature, whether its building the Dakota Access Pipeline, or simply fracking. The threat is real, whether we heed that threat is up to us, but I rather take any threat nature is showing its teeth with at face value. I'm not saying to live in fear, but certainly not to provoke the beast from underneath more than we absolutely have to.
Everything natural, like super volcanoes and weather, is now being blamed on global warming. It is the chicken little Syndrome.
I knew someday that even volcanoes and earth quakes would be blamed on man and the next step is global warming is attracting asteroids.
You didn't even bother to read the article, did you? Had you done so, you would not have made such an ignorant statement.
I had to look at the calendar, and nope it isn't April 1rst. Yikes.... According to the article, there is nothing man can do. Period. Pretty prescriptive, huh? Guess, given that, nothing we do from now until then will matter, will it?
A new theory of why we enter a short warm period after a very long glacial period has been posited. During the glacial period the Earth is basically locked in and it takes something very strong to unlatch from that state. That is why Milankovich cycles do not adequately explain timing. The new theory believes that the Earth has a resonance frequency and under the right conditions it 'rings' at that frequency causing much more seismic activity. That activity releases more warmth and greenhouse gasses breaking the glacial period. The change from glacial to inter-glacial is fairly swift in geological time. The slide back into glaciation is slower and in steps.
This is amazing. You would consider a hokum proposal like this and deny man made global warming. Wow...just wow.
You must be one of those that think everything is already known, the science is settled, so no need for more science anymore.
I understand that you in a great need to be taken as some kind of a guru. I have nothing to offer to satisfy your need. You are no guru, I am sorry.
I don't real know what the deal is with the article cited in the OP....but there is scientific support for the basic concern expressed there. As the ice sheets and glaciers melt off Greenland and other places, something occurs called crustal rebound....which has increased earthquake and volcanic activity in the past, like at the end of the last 'ice age', and undoubtedly will again in the fairly near future as the Greenland ice sheets disintegrate. Here's a good article about this....

And that's wrong. The rate of volcanic eruptions and major earthquakes worldwide has not increased. Yellowstone is not doing anything unusual. That article was new age pseudoscience babbling. "PRIMORDIAL ALLATRA PHYSICS"? Yeah, right. It was embarrassing to the rational people who understand what global warming actually does. Now, global warming could affect things like volcanoes if it melts a glacier that was previously keeping a subglacial volcano capped, such as you see in places in Iceland, but that's not what the article was talking about.
Give me some evidence to support this "theory". If you cannot it is just a hypothesis. Deniers post this garbage and then claim that climate change supporters blaim everything on global warming.
