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."

Let me guess where this guy does his studies late at night. hic.
Thar’s gold in that thar global warmin’.
Folks you cannot make this stuff up. Unbelievable.
Earthquakes are not caused by Global Warming, but the two are closely related. Global Warming is caused by burning huge amounts of oil. Pumping that much oil out of the Earth is causing it to shrink and shrivel up like a prune. As it shrinks, earthquakes happen in ever increasing numbers. Therefore, the number and intensity of earthquakes is a reliable measure of the rate of Global Warming.
If you google Dr. Tom Chalko you can see he's a total crackpot.
Do you have any evidence that this guy is bigger crackpot than Gore, Hanson, et al? To me, they are all one & the same.
"In North America the great earthquakes of 1811-1812 occurred near New Madrid, Missouri. The magnitude of the quakes are not known, but they are estimated to have been about 8 on the Richter scale. There were actually three large quakes with aftershocks between and for months after. The quake was so wide-spread it was felt as far away as Boston. "
It actually rang church bells in Boston...but it didn't do much damage near the epicenter as the population was small to non-existant at the time.
I hope the sheeple are smart enough to GOOGLE the HISTORY of quakes and see they have been going on, and as big, ever since the world came into existence... http://www.readinessinfo.com/eqhistory.shtml
Or maybe the USGS has deployed more sensitive seismographs between 1973 and 2007, and adding up the total energy of all the detected earthquakes keeps on increasing, because we are detecting many more small earthquakes today than we could in 1973.
It is all about redistribution of money. Chalko, you are a fraud along with your god Algore.
Bingo!
Actually, I think it's time for a class action suit against the Goracles.
They promised warming and I was looking forward to it. Instead, it's getting colder.
The little "Medieval Warm Period" brought about the greatest time of posterity on all walks of life that they had ever experienced. The Little Ice Age, conversely, brought devastation.
You are right... we are doomed. Right now it’s June 18th and it’s 58degrees out. I’m burning up!
We need to get Noory's & Art Bell's opinions on this.
More oil refineries and nuclear power plants will reduce global warming !............HONEST !
......:o)
So Global Warming extends miles beneath the surface of earth ....what will we do about GW on Jupiter? It’s happening.
Global warming ate my baby!!
He has it backwards. Clearly larger earthquakes are causing global warming.
Some of the most imbecilic, simple-minded, junk science BS I’ve ever read.
Either way, we're doomed! Cosmic catastrophy!
And it is OUR fault Jupiter is warming! All those satellites we have orbiting are reflecting a small fraction of solar radiation away from the earth, and onto Jupiter! ;-)
Whatta load of horse hockey!
Astute!
