Global Warming Propaganda

The North Pole may soon be entirely bereft of ice and this report at The Independent is entirely bereft of the most obvious reason why. Rather than mention the volcanoes they pound the global warming drum.
It seems unthinkable, but for the first time in human history, ice is on course to disappear entirely from the North Pole this year.
The disappearance of the Arctic sea ice, making it possible to reach the Pole sailing in a boat through open water, would be one of the most dramatic – and worrying – examples of the impact of global warming on the planet. Scientists say the ice at 90 degrees north may well have melted away by the summer.
So what about those volcanoes of which The Independent wants you to remain ignorant?
The Arctic seabed is as explosive geologically as it is politically judging by the “fountains” of gas and molten lava that have been blasting out of underwater volcanoes near the North Pole.
“Explosive volatile discharge has clearly been a widespread, and ongoing, process,” according to an international team that sent unmanned probes to the strange fiery world beneath the Arctic ice.
They returned with images and data showing that red-hot magma has been rising from deep inside the earth and blown the tops off dozens of submarine volcanoes, four kilometres below the ice. “Jets or fountains of material were probably blasted one, maybe even two, kilometres up into the water,” says geophysicist Robert Sohn of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, who led the expedition.
McQ has another example of this disgraceful propaganda.

Nice job. I read the “Independent” article, too, and noticed their exclusion of agenda convenience. Do you have a link for the volcanic activity source?
