Some people are really looking hard for something to whine about.

Ice is cooling off the volcanoes and keeping them from erupting? Yeah, sure.

Yeah I don't see how the two are connected?

That's LOTS and LOTS of ice, not just "cooling off" the volcanoes but also, and more importantly, weighing them down.

We don't yet know how much this is something to worry about, because it's a new area of scientific inquiry.

In Ice vs Magma, the Magma will win.

Why the panic about it? It's not like a volcanic explosion there is going to wipe out tens of thousands of villagers living around the volcano? What are you worried about?

It's kind of like worrying about whether your neighbor's dog might get a sore throat from barking too much.

People might enjoy life more if there wasn't a new thing every single day trying to kill us or make our lives miserable.
I don't get why the rate of suicide isn't higher than it already is.

Why would something that could never affect you make your life miserable?

When the volcanoes start spewing sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, it affects everyone.
Enough of your "not my earth, not my volcanoes" nonsense.

None of us would ever even know it. Nothing about the volcano would change any of our lives who don't live near the volcano.

That's not so. Volcanoes are quite capable of producing enough airborne particles to reduce the strength of the sun or block it out entirely which can lead to food shortages and extreme weather events half a world away from the source.

I have no idea about the veracity of the story in the video, I didn't watch it, but to say 100 volcanoes erupting in Antarctica couldn't affect you is just...wrong.
