C'mon,..Everybody knows it's Namazu, the giant Catfish, that causes Earthquakes.

The most damaging earthquake in Australia's history was caused by humans, new research says.
The magnitude-5.6 quake that struck Newcastle in New South Wales on December 28, 1989, killed 13 people, injured 160, and caused 3.5 billion U.S. dollars worth of damage.
That quake was triggered by changes in tectonic forces caused by 200 years of underground coal mining, according to a study by Christian D. Klose of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, New York.

And western Maryland.
I’m being tossed around the room even as I type this.
Oh, bloody hell...a gaping chasm going down to the center of the earth just opened up in the back yard.
Gotta run.
Some really fat jerk named Bob.
People marching around cities and blowing trumpets...
And for God's sake, COVER YOUR EYES!!!!
What we should not do -
No mining (coal, minerals etc.)
No Oil drilling
No dams
No cutting trees
No animal killing
Now tell me, how these guys, who comes out with studies will survive.
Oh, good, as long as we have a study... Even if it is just one single, solitary study that happens to agree with our political agenda.... ;-/
Making policy on such thin "evidence" is not good business nor good politics...
There’s one more thing we need to know about them - that they love to receive govt grant money.
I’m not saying this is accurate, but Chili has had a few big earthquakes lately, and there is a mining operation over there, as we saw with the miners who were rescued last year. Of course, Kentucky has major coal mining activity, and they haven’t had any seismic activity of which I’m aware.
Oh, of course, coal mining causes earthquakes and oil field fracturing causes earthquakes! Now we can starve the world economy, redistribute wealth, and punish the developed countries for being too wealthy!
Did I miss anything?
This is total bullsh!t. Piled very high, with a cherry on top.
Ohh please.. and how do they explain Japans.. fishing ??
BULL SHITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
why don’t the government just pay everyone to go piss into hydro gens and have all the blow hards just blow into the wind gens and wear solar pads on our heads...since these methods are the only ways that they say are safe to generate power for all the ipods, cells phone and electric cars in the future
Here ya go!
Thank heavens! General ignorance about earth sciences is what allows scams like AGW and nonsense about mining-caused earthquakes to flourish. Chile is located in a major tectonic subduction zone, where the Nazca oceanic plate is being pushed under the South American continental plate. That's what created the Andes Mountains. It's one of the most earthquake-prone places on the globe!
As a side note, without the volcanism associated with plate subduction, there would be no valuable minerals like copper to mine. The volcanic process brings minerals near to the surface and concentrates them.
That is why Tennessee and Kentucky are in constant danger of all those disruptive earthquakes....ugh!
The new global warming junk science.
I thought it was undeniable “science” that oil drilling caused earthquakes. /s
Makes sense. Gold mining in South Africa caused earthquakes, too. So did changing the water table in Colorado. So did the slow changes in the land after the continental glaciers left the Northeast. I think I remember earthquakes being caused by water in lakes formed by dams.
Everything affects everything else. Still no reason to stop coal mining.
If coal mining causes earthquakes, it would be a simple matter to study areas where massive coal mining was engaged to see if any earthquakes occurred due to the extensive mining. For instance, have there ever been any earthquakes in Wales? One coal mine proves nothing.
