"From our human perspective with our relatively short and incomplete memories and better and better communications around the world, we hear about more earthquakes and it seems like they are more frequent," Arrowsmith said. "But this is probably not any indication of a global change in earthquake rate of significance."

Funny, they don't apply this logic to 'global warming.'

And just who is going to control nature?

Buck Ofama?

Matthew 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.

We must reduce our carbon footprint...it’s wieghing down the plates causing earthquakes....

Beware of the ManBearPig!!!

Should nature ever get “out of control”, no one’s going to be left to sit around and chit-chat about it.

[pillut48]

See, my first thought was, “Hey, Al Gore! Quit moving around so much, yer causing earthquakes!!!”

Like he listens to me...

Uhmmm...”nature” is always out of control.

What’s different is cell phones, 24/7 cable, twitter, facebook etc.

Plate tectonics rules the surface of the earth, it’s eveidence of a tortured surface and continental drift is visable all around us.

We float on the froth of our planet.

But people love to freak out and think it means something ominous. It means build stuff better generally.

[BunnySlippers]

Is this a lead in to the global warming thingie?

Anyone with half a brain can see that EQ activity has increased dramatically since Barff O’bummer has been elected...

Mother Nature has the shakes. Give her a drink or a joint.

And don’t forget, it’s Bush’s fault.

[Boiler Plate]

Yes all of nature is out of control! All democrats and left leaing people should IMMEDIATELY send all of their money to me, before it is TOO Late!

[FlingWingFlyer]

What is Algore and his band of warmers going to do about this!? Don’t they have a plan to stop these earthquakes? How about banning body slams by the WWF! Something must be done or, WE’RE ALL DOOMED!

[Berlin_Freeper]

If man could control nature it would have been destroyed long ago.

Aw, another successful test by the Navy of Halliburton’s new earthquake machine.

You may have seen the results of the Navy’s first test on Haiti.

“One scientist, however, says that relative to the time period from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s, Earth has been more active over the past 15 years or so.”

That is a 20 year span of time - hardly enough to make any valid analysis.

But for the record: Nature is never out of control - human beings are always out of control - especially activist scientists.

It’s clearly global warming.

What we need to do is increase the regulatory and taxation powers of the us federal government as well as the general authority and income of the United nations, then we will be fine.

“Is nature out of control?” —that is a question sooo stupid only an intellectual or a broadcaster would ask it.

Or more precisely, a broadcaster gradually being eliminated to NOTHINGNESS.

Nature was NEVER under the control of man —NEVER. Remember when Time magazine had that cover, “Are girls and boys different FROM BIRTH..?”

It constantly amazes me, the things that amaze the US Legacy Media.

IDIOTS.

[Zeddicus]

It’s the nefarious Dick Cheney Halliburton Earthquake Machine.

[Talons of Freedom]

when was nature ever IN control?
