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."

Go here http://wattsupwiththat.wordpress.com/, read down and you will see that the .85 figure on insolation came not from NASA at all but from one of Hansen’s model runs.
It's all the same to crackpots & moonbats.
Oddly, the scientists & engineers I worked for paid me to run real lab analyses to gather data. Would have been much easier to run models to predict & verify the enrichment ratios and trace element content of the finished fuel rods the company was manufacturing, but for some reason they wouldn't go for that.
No need to read further than this. This clause "proves" that the article is obviously written by someone with an agenda, not someone interested in science.
Perfect!
He has PERFECT credentials to be an expert in tectonic plate dynamics and global warming....

I think that site has omitted three letters from its URL: n, b, and i. The proper URL, with those letters inserted would be: nutjoburinal.com.
Gad!
What are they going to blame on Global Warming next?
The relatively low-level of volcanic activity during the 1900s?
Reference Ping
And then we would have "Earth (truly) In the Balance"!

Well I thought it was due to Planet Nibiru and Polar Shift now Global Warming
