[Response: Not an absurd question, but
in practice net geothermal heating (including

increases.
Idea:

There was an eruption of assertions
in recent days that the
increasing summer retreats and thinning of Arctic Ocean sea ice might be a result not of atmospheric warming but instead all the heat from the recent discovered
volcanoes peppering the Gakkel Ridge, one of the seams
in the deep seabed at the top of the world.
«If there are no while zones on top of the
volcanoes, the solar radiation is absorbed, which generated an
increase in temperature and local climate change, like desertification or the inhibition of pluvial precipitation,» Degaldo told SciDev.net
in an interview.
-- Upper - tropospheric moistening
in response to anthropogenic warming —
Increases in greenhouse forcing inferred from the outgoing longwave radiation spectra of the Earth
in 1970 and 1997 — On the Atmospheric Residence Time of Anthropogenically Sourced Carbon Dioxide — Deep Carbon Emissions from
Volcanoes «it is clear that these natural emissions were recently dwarfed by anthropogenic emissions»
These warming trends are consistent with the response to
increasing greenhouse gases and sulphate aerosols and likely can not be explained by natural internal climate variations or the response to changes
in natural external forcing (solar irradiance and
volcanoes).
Instead, they discuss new ways of playing around with the aerosol judge factor needed to explain why 20th - century warming is about half of the warming expected for
increased in GHGs; and then expand their list of fudge factors to include smaller
volcanos, stratospheric water vapor (published with no estimate of uncertainty for the predicted change
in Ts), transfer of heat to the deeper ocean (where changes
in heat content are hard to accurately measure), etc..
On the question of hurricanes, the theoretical arguments that more energy and water vapor
in the atmosphere should lead to stronger storms are really sound (after all, storm intensity
increases going from pole toward equator), but determining precisely how human influences (so including GHGs [greenhouse gases] and aerosols, and land cover change) should be changing hurricanes
in a system where there are natural external (solar and
volcanoes) and internal (e.g., ENSO, NAO [El Nino - Southern Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation]-RRB- influences is quite problematic — our climate models are just not good enough yet to carry out the types of sensitivity tests that have been done using limited area hurricane models run for relatively short times.
One theory of many behind the solar / volcanic connection is that MUONS, a by product of galactic cosmic rays can affect the calderas of certain
volcanoes by changing the chemical composition of the matter within the silica rich magma creating aerosols which
increase pressure
in the magma chamber and hence lead to an explosive eruption.
Yes it can: if
in one year all land vegetation on earth burns down or 1000
volcanoes emit 1000 times more than today
in one year, the
increase in the atmosphere will
increase the sinks far beyond the «normal» exchange rate.
If one of the inputs
increased a tenfold
in one year (all
volcanoes together...), and the outputs can't cope with that, that would be noticed as an
increase of CO2
in the atmosphere, larger than the human emissions alone.
Considering all the short - term factors identified by the scientific community that acted to slow the rate of global warming over the past two decades (
volcanoes, ocean heat uptake, solar decreases, predominance of La Niñas, etc.) it is likely the temperature
increase would have accelerated
in comparison to the late 20th Century
increases.
The ensemble mean is monotonically
increasing in the absence of large
volcanoes, but this is the forced component of climate change, not a single realisation or anything that could happen
in the real world.
There is zero evidence that an
increase in undersea
volcanos are causing the constant trend
in CO2 that matches the emissions of mans CO2.
The oxygen content of the atmosphere is diminishing at a rate that corresponds to the
increase in CO2, so the
increase in CO2 is due to oxidation of carbonaceuos material of some kind, eg., burning, decay, etc., and not from, say, the oceans,
volcanoes or some other geological process.
Second, a series of mildly explosive
volcanoes, which
increased stratospheric particles, likely had more of a cooling effect than previously recognized.35, 36,37 Third, the high incidence of La Niña events
in the last 15 years has played a role
in the observed trends.29, 38 Recent analyses13 suggest that more of the
increase in heat energy during this period has been transferred to the deep ocean than previously.

increasing (both from
volcanoes and anthropogenic) and solar output has been the lowest

Anyway, if the deep ocean
volcano CO2 reaches the atmosphere, that would

in the atmosphere, while the largest changes are
in the NH spring / summer with decreasing CO2 levels and
increasing δ13C.
While that still is sparse for the full oceans (especially the South Pacific) surface, all repeated measurements of the same places over time show an
increase in DIC, and as far as measured, a decrease
in pH. That includes the main upwelling areas where the deep ocean
volcano releases should be measurable first.

volcanoes might produce a noticeable and sudden
increase in the temperature of the Arctic Ocean (which was her specialty) she said «NO».
For me the most convincing piece of evidence that global warming has been contributing already to more and more intense weather related natural catastrophes is the fact that while we find a steep
increase in the number of loss relevant weather events (about tripling
in the last 30 years) we only find a slight
increase in geophysical (earthquake,
volcano, tsunami) events, which should not be affected by global warming.
--
Volcanoes and vents emit less than 1 % of human emissions (even the Pinatubo eruption caused a dip
in the CO2
increase, as the cooling by the volcanic dust
increased the absorption of the oceans beyond the extra emissions.

volcanoes are removed from the global average temperature plot, a continuous
increase in temperature appears.
Stilicho, Here's another remarkable coincidence... The huge
increase in concentrations of CO2 we've seen just happened to coincide with our actually starting to take CO2 measurements, and on the side of an active
volcano no less.
