Some interesting stuff here about record heat in the northern hemisphere, I'm not sure if the same applies to the southern.

While volcanism plays a part in local temperature trends, it's random and usually short-lived. The fact that Erebus has been continually erupting for hundreds, if not thousands, of years indicates that it is NOT the source of recent melting.

Anthropogenic warming seems to be ongoing and accelerating. Reject the idea at your peril. Adding volcanic heat & gasses will only make things worse, but volcanoes are still a minor contributor.

Good attempt at distraction though, 5 stars for that.
