This really chaps me. Earthquakes are about geology, not climatology. But the treehuggers will claim such geological events and their consequences are part of "global warming". They lie for their own deceitful purposes and a gullible and fearful public will buy it.

I wonder how they will feel about the "erosion." Dam that mother nature.

Reuters is already implying that global warming exacerbates the effects of tsunamis. It is actually a very artful exercise. Between fairly dry quotes from scientists, the reporter injects his own opinions, and to the unobservant they acquire the cachet and status of "Science".

Since most people are incapable of pointing to evidence in their everyday experience that indicates that the world is round or the earth circles the sun, for most people what purports to be "Science" is simply a matter of faith. The scientific priesthood pronounces and we believe. Only a person of very poor character doubts the certitude of Official Science as revealed in the texts of Big Media.

Of course, as Micheal Crichton so ably points out, science has nothing to do with consensus and everything to do with skepticism and inquiry.

I would almost place a large bet on when the enviro-wackos will blame mankind (ie, the USA) for this! If they didn't mislead so many of the brain-washed public, I'd also think it was funny.
