    I have to wonder if the melting ice, changing where the weight of the world’s water is, might have an impact on the frequency of earthquakes and volcanoes.

      Scientists have already proved that and are worried about volcanoes in Greenland and Antarctica.

        makes sense. a supervolcano would be ground zero for the coldest temps after the skies are blotted out with ash.

        when you think about it like that, Greenland being a supervolcano doesn’t sound so far fetched.
