Melting of ice in central Greenland is being accelerated by the heat of molten rocks rising from the core–mantle boundary, adding to sea-level rise, a study has found. Researchers from Japan mapped out the extent and branches of the so-called 'Greenland plume'—the rising flow of molten rock ascending beneath the island. Geothermal activity is abundant in the North Atlantic region. Iceland and the Norwegian island of Jan Mayen have active volcanoes with their own mantle plumes. Svalbard—a Norwegian archipelago in the Arctic Ocean—is meanwhile an area of geothermal activity. Until now, however, the origin of these activities and their interconnectedness

That cannot be true.......it's our fault, Al said it was our fault. Al wouldn't lie. Or make up stuff. He got a Nobel Prize

We’re all going to die! We need someone to notify Greta Turnburger.

It's George W. Bush's fault, and it's Trump's fault.
I KNOW this, as the Media said it was so.

I thought the science was settled? Why are they still sciencing? Did the narrative generating machine break? Someone tell the scientists they can stop being curious. They are finding out too many things. How in the world are we going to redistribute wealth if they don’t cut out these shenanigans?

Plumes from internal eruptions. I believe we have finally discovered pathways of those ever-occurring farts. Pass this info on to your wives and girlfriends so they can avoid the worst of the worst.

I suppose there is a silver lining in all of this. If these hot rocks are emanating from the depths of the Earth, farmers won't be forced to connect their cows' rectums to pipes going into the ground to catch their flatulence, a measure that the global warming advocates said needed to be done to cut down on "greenhouse gas emissions."
Always, always, always look on the bright side.

This has been reported a number of times, but since it does not fall in line with the media-supported narrative, it has, and will again, be disregarded.

Is there no end to the catastrophes that CO2 can't cause? Well that and fraking.... /S/

If enough ice and snow melts in Greenland, the landmass will become lighter and rise.
That will balance out any rise in sea level by equally lowering sea level.
A long time ago when science was taught in schools, it was called, "isostacy."

Quick, someone dispatch Greta to Greenland so she can yell and snarl at the "Greenland plume" and tell it to change its activity.

Just get to the bottom line, how much American money and Unicorn dust will it take to stop this settled science event? It's just like a finger in the dike in Holland, right? Or is that dyke?

Strangely no mention of the fact that rising CO2 levels in the atmosphere is causing the flow of molten rocks, and the only way to save Mother Earth from Trump is to give away all freedom and become Marxists.

Nature is cyclic. This is the reason Norsemen about 1000 years ago chose the name Greenland.

Maybe some crew made a journey to the center of the earth. Where's Pat Boone when we need him?

FTA: "In their study, the researchers used measurements of the passage of seismic waves through the crust and mantle beneath Greenland to create a 3D image of the structures found beneath the surface of the Earth. This approach — which works in a similar fashion to that of a hospital CT scan of a human body — relies on how sound waves pass more easily and quickly through cold, stiff and dense materials, but slower through warmer matter like hot rock."
Outside of using computers to render images from signal data, seismic is nothing similar to computed tomography (CT), which uses dual energy x-ray sources and detectors mounted on a rotating gantry to plot density and calculate the effective atomic number of the object of interest in a CT scan. Seismic tomography uses explosives or industrial ground vibrating apparatus to create surface-induced seismic pulses to image subsurface formations, which is more related to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) than x-ray CT. Why does it matter? If you can't understand the mechanism of your data collection and analysis, then your conclusions are immediately suspect, a near-universal hallmark of the climate change industry.

This is PROBABLY caused by SUVs that have fallen off of ships in the Pacific Ocean and have been subsumed into the core of the earth through the process of continental drift. SUVs are responsible for all the world's troubles that cannot be attributed to religious freedom or the 2nd Amendment. /sarc

So this is the REAL global warming, and none of it has anything to do with man.
