National Geographic reports volcanic activity on the seafloor of the Arctic Ocean, under the icecap. Other sources have reported the melting of the Arctic icecap and even that the North Pole may be in open ocean this summer.
Do you suppose these two factors could be related? Volcanoes release lots of heat, over lots of time. Heat warms water, warm water melts ice.
On the other hand, the Antarctic icecap is growing, according to a NASA-funded study, getting thicker too. Whatever change is happening in the climate is clearly more complicated than the Al Gores of this world think. Humans don't cause volcanoes by driving their SUVs.
