Now why didn't THEY think of that? (slaps forehead)So, it does not take too long to find out and even to see pictures of white smokers and black smokers pouring out hot water to some 400º Celsius from the bottom of the ocean. How far these thermal vents warm the ocean I do not know – I am not an oceanographer.
In addition to these thermal vents, of which Iceland makes much use for heating, there are a whole series of volcanoes under the water also spewing out hot lava, at least some of them. How many volcanoes under the sea would you guess?
I would have thought a few hundred. I cannot check this but I understand that there are millions!
Millions of volcanoes under the sea! If that is correct and the center of our Earth is nearly as hot as the corona around the Sun, does not that very fact give you pause? It does me.
It is true that the madding crowd do follow the Pied Piper of Nashville, Tennessee, and hope to take extreme measures to ‘save the planet.’
But I believe that this is but a temporary aberration based upon a lack of scientific knowledge that we will all have to suffer for a while.

How Thermal Vents and Marine Volcanoes Affect Earth's Temperature
There are millions of volcanoes and thermal vents under the sea and their effect on the Earth's temperature is poorly understood.climatechangedispatch.com
