More Climate Disruption Drivel
The American Thinker ^ | 3/22/2011 | Anthony J. Sadar

Posted on 03/22/2011 6:09:20 AM PDT by Lakeshark

It certainly didn't take long for someone, a British academic this time, to couple the tragedy in Japan to the specter of future tsunamis caused by global warming. In 2004, Michael Crichton's State of Fear had the plot line of an extreme environmental group planning to trigger a tsunami using a massive underwater explosion, with the intention of blaming it on man-made climate disruption. Sadly, Japan's tsunami is now being used to stoke the dying embers of climate-change mania.

Even before nature's fury ravaged Japan, meteorological mischief was contemplated to awaken the world's interest in climate change. This effort would take the form of coordinated messages using political rhetoric in the media to blame climate change on the industrialized nations of the world.

A pretty good summary of why global warming theory is not science, and why those who claim climate change caused Japan's problems are such utter fools.

The Weather Channel seems to be furthering this notion by covering earthquakes as “weather.”

The Weather Channel seems to be furthering this notion by covering earthquakes as “weather.”

It took 25 years after "Piltdown Man" was shown to be a fraud for the public to know it was a scientific hoax.

This one may take longer since it's a religious belief. The good news is that after such a heavy indoctrination of pro global warming news (like what the weather channel is doing), over 50% of the public isn't buying it.

*the dying embers of climate-change mania.*

Excellent phrase!

I usually like to call it the rotting corpse of the AGW hoax...

Personally I like “rotting corpse” better, but “dying embers” is more suitable for an article. I guess.

I wanna hear the proposed mechanism by which “global warming” causes mid-ocean earthquakes.....should really be good for a belly laugh.

Finally, an intelligent comment.

I too would like to know how 1 degree Celsius of global warming can possibly affect the movement of tectonic plates.

What many people don’t seem to realize is that most earthquakes are inevitable. The plates are moving and quakes are just part of the consequences. Some plates seem to be able to slide past or under each other relatively smoothly.

But most seem to “stick” and then move in jerks, which we call quakes.

"I too would like to know how 1 degree Celsius of global warming can possibly affect the movement of tectonic plates."

Well, I may show my "crackpot" side here, but I think that there is a physical mechanism that can explain both global warming AND earthquakes, but it doesn't depend on CO2.

Specifically, the sun's magnetic field encompasses the earth. The earth is moving within that field. Physics says that anytime a conductor (and the earth's molten interior is most definitely "a conductor) moves in a magnetic field that an electric current is produced. The sun's magnetic field has DOUBLED in strength over the time we have measurements for. So, where does that energy which MUST be generated in the interior of the earth go??

I personally think that it is this non-photonic mechanism that explains most global warming, increased vulcanism, and increased earthquake activity, but thus far I have found ZERO scientific (or even non-scientific) discussion even of the concept.

The stench of the rotting corpse of global warming will be around for a while and hopefully it will stand as a reminder of how a theory can turn to a scheme when the originators(profiteers) can't keep the theory supported by fact.

Interesting theory. My understanding is that geothermal heat flux to the surface is fairly minimal compared to the incoming solar to the surface. Wikipedia says it is 10,000:1 which even if they are exaggerating by an order of magnitude, there’s still 1000x more heat from the sun than from the interior of the earth.

I'm not necessarily concerned about net heat flux, but the possibility of other effects being triggered by the influx of non-photonic energy (cf. earthquakes and vulcanism). And we don't know what the time lag might be between the increase in solar magnetic field and when the effects of it show up in the heat flux to the surface. SOMETHING triggers ice ages, and humanity has no idea what. I'd like to find at least ONE physicist (or perhaps geophysicist might be better) who says he/she has actually thought about it.

But so far, zip. I've seen one throw-away comment to the effect that the electric currents circulating in the mantle are in the billions of amps range. How much does the solar field contribute to this???
