MT BEST, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - June 17, 2008) - New research compiled by Australian scientist Dr Tom Chalko shows that global seismic activity on Earth is now five times more energetic than it was just 20 years ago.
The research proves that destructive ability of earthquakes on Earth increases alarmingly fast and that this trend is set to continue, unless the problem of "global warming" is comprehensively and urgently addressed.
The analysis of more than 386,000 earthquakes between 1973 and 2007 recorded on the US Geological Survey database proved that the global annual energy of earthquakes on Earth began increasing very fast since 1990.
Dr Chalko said that global seismic activity was increasing faster than any other global warming indicator on Earth and that this increase is extremely alarming.
"The most serious environmental danger we face on Earth may not be climate change, but rapidly and systematically increasing seismic, tectonic and volcanic activity," said Dr Chalko.
"Increase in the annual energy of earthquakes is the strongest symptom yet of planetary overheating.
"NASA measurements from space confirm that Earth as a whole absorbs at least 0.85 Megawatt per square kilometer more energy from the Sun than it is able to radiate back to space. This 'thermal imbalance' means that heat generated in the planetary interior cannot escape and that the planetary interior must overheat. Increase in seismic, tectonic and volcanic activities is an unavoidable consequence of the observed thermal imbalance of the planet," said Dr Chalko.
Dr Chalko has urged other scientists to maximize international awareness of the rapid increase in seismic activity, pointing out that this increase is not theoretical but that it is an Observable Fact.
"Unless the problem of global warming (the problem of persistent thermal imbalance of Earth) is addressed urgently and comprehensively -- the rapid increase in global seismic, volcanic and tectonic activity is certain. Consequences of inaction can only be catastrophic. There is no time for half-measures."

What a load of crap—this is a Sci-Fi movie waiting to happen.
Dr. Chalko didn’t get the memo. Since “global warming” stopped about 10 years ago, the religious fanatics who propagate climate doom have changed the name of the problem to “climate change.” Since the climate has never been stable in the history of the world, they’re sure they finally got it right.
This has GOT to be a joke.
Unless the Earth retains heat from sunlight, I believe the planet's temperature would be close to absolute zero and no life would be possible here. The "greenhouse effect" refers to the very mechanism which makes life possible.

Global Warming stole my dog, got me fired from my job, and made my wife leave me!
...God, I miss that dog.

It’s getting cooler.
Is this a joke?
Hey ... it causes hemorhoids also. And ... it is a proven fact, it makes all politicians morons!!!
DAMN! You beat me to it.
You know it is; I know it is, but to the “scientist” and news organizations that carried the story, it is not a joke.
The earthquake data MIGHT be real, but the “explanation” is pure hokum.
There is NO global warming... When are the idiots going to get it right? It does not exist. Never did. Climate change is normal, natural and NOT caused by man. Climate change is cyclical. The last mini-ice age ended 150 or so years ago...and things naturally warmed up. The 1930s were the warmest. Now things are slowly cooling down but we have some warmer and some cooler years in between. It is natural. It is the way Mother Nature and the Sun work.
Then why didn’t the Earth shake itself apart during the Medieval Warm Period, when it was even warmer than today?
Global Warming, if it existed (and it doesn’t), describes relatively small changes in the temperature of the ATMOSPHERE, not huge developing temperature-differentials in the underground MAGMA.
What a donkey-brain.
