"We can prepare and try to troubleshoot for the impact something like this can have on the future. No sense in being dinosaurs and simply do nothing."

Very true. BUT, can somebody please explain WHY nothing is being done?
the sea level will rise. NEARLY ALL the scientists agree this will happen, the CAGW proponents keep telling us!
WHY is nothing being done to prepare for the inevitable sea level rise?
It is becoming more and more clear that it WILL happen, and NOTHING can be done to prevent it, so WHEN will the world governments start working on the required projects to minimize the damage?
I saw a news article about Miami Beach installing pumps to remove the excess water.
It didn't say just where they planned to put the water that they pumped out....

Talk to the velociraptors rebuilding New Orleans.

Not to mention the mega volumes of that melting water that will be distributed into the atmosphere and then overland.

The whole sea level rise is a sledgehammer in the global warming tool belt to be used on the masses of ******* psychopants everywhere.

Yup, I guess it is the climate scientists that are causing all these problems....Why, oh why did they have to put a volcano under that ice?

Miami better build a 40 sea wall around Florida, so there is no back flow.

There is no hope for Florida, as the ground is porous and a sea wall won't work.

The global warming scammers are set to use this as climate change proof and not the real cause, volcanic ground warming.


8000 years ago is the last ash layer observed in the layers of ice. About the time many ancient ports were submerged forever (Atlantis) The ruins submerged off Japans coast.


""“My first thought was, ‘OK, maybe it’s just coincidence.’ But then I looked more closely and realized that the mountains were actually volcanoes and there was an age progression to the range. The volcanoes closest to the seismic events were the youngest ones.”
The events were weak and very low frequency, which strongly suggested they weren’t tectonic in origin. While low-magnitude seismic events of tectonic origin typically have frequencies of 10 to 20 cycles per second, this shaking was dominated by frequencies of 2 to 4 cycles per second.

Will the new volcano erupt?
“Definitely,” Lough said. “In fact, because the radar shows a mountain beneath the ice, I think it has erupted in the past, before the rumblings we recorded.”
Will the eruptions punch through a kilometer or more of ice above it?
The scientists calculated that an enormous eruption, one that released 1,000 times more energy than the typical eruption, would be necessary to breach the ice above the volcano.
On the other hand, a subglacial eruption and the accompanying heat flow will melt a lot of ice. “The volcano will create millions of gallons of water beneath the ice — many lakes full,” Wiens said.
This water will rush beneath the ice toward the sea and feed into the hydrological catchment of the MacAyeal Ice Stream, one of several major ice streams draining ice from Marie Byrd Land into the Ross Ice Shelf.
By lubricating the bedrock, it will speed the flow of the overlying ice, perhaps increasing the rate of ice-mass loss in West Antarctica.""

I thought we were ignoring any logical or scientifically based explanations about global and regional temperature changes and are just supposed to respond, "global warming". Didn't you get the memo? I blamed by score of 86 at the golf course last weekend on global warming- it is the only plausible explanation.

Extra humidity in the air. I've used that one before.

According to fossils, Both Florida and Central Texas were under water, before the ice age.

Like we can control global warming, we can control volcanic activity.

But we cannot control the rise of the oceans to the levels before the ice age.
