Geologic Forces Melted Icelandic Glacier, Not Climate Change | Climate Dispatch

Geologic Forces Melted Icelandic Glacier, Not Climate Change | Climate Dispatch
"In an astonishing turn of events, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) just cosponsored aclimate change funeral” for an Icelandic glacier positioned atop a volcano that is part of and fueled by one of the most volcanically active faults on our planet, the Mid-Atlantic Ocean Rift System(Figure 1).
Here we show how geologically induced heat from the underlying Okjokull Volcano (Figure 1) acted to melt the overlying Okjokull ‘funeral’ glacier, which had little to do with climate change.

...A more plausible explanation is that the Okjokull Volcano has recently become much hotter/increased its bedrock geothermal heat flow in recent years. 
This heat flow increase has acted to rapidly melt the Okjokull Glacier..."
Much proof provided.
