The logic of ‘anthropogenic vulcanology’ reminds of this cartoon:

When you consider how some scientists FEEL about the state of climate and action, the cartoon is quite up to date.
They do tend to get a little cheesed if they feel their climate gravy train is threatened.
Bravo!
I think they really believe their own BS.

JimS writes: Josh, I recommend you make the cartoon now for anthropogenic sunshine even now, because the AGW extremist crowd will come through. Mark my words.
The commitment to ideological extremism by media players is never limited by fact or reason. This Time article is jut one recent (and hilarious) example of how extremists nearly always arrive, ultimately, at stupid.
Aha, the planet does have a fever. Josh has drawn the model and just look at it churn out homongrifried data.
A hole emitting ash? Apparently it takes one to know one.
Climate change causes volcanoes, volcanoes cause aerosols, aerosols cause transient cooling, and cooling reduces volcanoes. So even if this idiotic claim were true, volcanoes would just be another negative feedback that keeps warming in check. What is there to be alarmed about? Just stay away from active volcanoes.
It kind of looks like the face of the Grinch in the volcano’s cloud.
Greg Laden causes Anthony and other reasonable people to erupt.
Let’s kick some ash!!
I’m sorry, Josh, but this is getting unfair. Fish in a barrel. Please show some compassion 🙂
Josh has been in fine form recently. A trifecta with SpongeBob, Where truth Lies, and now Anthropogenic vulcanology. Granted, there has been an increasing amount of source material produced by the warmunists.
I see the smoke… just not seeing the mirrors,,,,,(8>))
So are they contending that volcanos eruption all over the surface of the Earth, are covered with glaciers? Was Krakatoa in 1883 covered by glaciers? Pinatubo? El-Chicon?
While obviously misstating cause and effect, there’s very likely a link between climate change and increased volcanic activity. Both are influenced by the electrical connection between the sun and Earth.

I didn’t read anywhere in that article (or in the actual published paper) a statement saying that volcanic activity would increase everywhere — it said it would have an effect everywhere, which we know happens because of volcanic injections into the stratosphere. But this would seem to be a negative feedback, since these gases and aerosols can have a cooling effect: http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/hazards/gas/climate.php
So, I think the criticism of this study is precisely wrong, and anti-CAGW folks should be embracing it and pointing out these negative feedbacks rather than criticizing it and (apparently) putting words in the authors’ mouths.
I hate to say it, but there may be some truth to the deglaciation/volcano linkage. I googled volcanoes and inter glacial, and a lot of hits suggested an increase in vulcanism after the ice starts melting.

This paper says a 2 to 6 fold increase over background levels. They also reference a lot of papers that support this, at least on the regional level. This appears to be a meta-study.
The good news is that most of the vulcanism occurs shortly after deglaciation starts, and occurs almost exclusively in the deglaciated areas.
dbteasley, I’m sorry you have no idea what government agencies do. For one thing, NOAA collects, compiles and documents vast amounts of actual data on the earth system. The also issue weather and natural hazards forecasts, which millions of people (and businesses, and the military) rely on. I’ll admit I’m not familiar with all of the things Heartlands does, but in the area of climate change it seems they fund a small group of people to review original published work and either cherry pick or twist it around. And doing the original work is a lot more difficult (and yes, more expensive) than putting a bunch of papers through a sausage maker.

As much as I’m amused by Josh’s cartoons I think he should’ve portrayed the smoke and flames coming out the other end.
Best wishes. And keep up the good work.
Someone ought to start a list of what CAGW doesn’t cause. It would be only two or three entries.
