There is much more than the Tolstoy paper, there are others that have come to understand the theory that the eruptions underwater and the vents occur when certain conditions come together, their effect is is believed to be very pronounced effecting weather patterns such as the El Nino and others as the currents carry this warmed water. Species of non-native fish are now being found in Alaska's coastal water where temperatures have risen are now being noted and collected with the correlation being better understood. As I said previously, the data was scarce in the area of these faults and plates, some laying at vast depths never before examined or even accessible, much less data collected and correlations being recorded. Glaciers receding
and other data is now being collected when the venting and eruptions occur.



The theory for the first time is now being taken on seriously in the last 10 years, I think we may find it has much greater impact than man on the climate.
