The untold – and terrifying – story behind the earthquake that devastated Nepal last Saturday morning begins with something that sounds quite benign. It’s the ebb and flow of rainwater in the great river deltas of India and Bangladesh, and the pressure that puts on the grinding plates that make up the surface of the planet.
Recently discovered, that causal factor is seen by a growing body of scientists as further proof that climate change can affect the underlying structure of the Earth.
Because of this understanding, a series of life-threatening “extreme geological events” – earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis – is predicted by a group of eminent geologists and geophysicists including University College London’s Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of Geophysical and Climate Hazards.
“Climate change may play a critical role in triggering certain faults in certain places where they could kill a hell of a lot of people,” says Professor McGuire. Some of his colleagues suspect the process may already have started.

The good news is that now that the Alarmists have predicted more earthquakes, we’re certain not to get any.
Wow...Newsweek is assuming the role of CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.
Bring it on!!! If D.C. SF, L.A., Portland, Seattle, and Baltimore happen to be destroyed, it would be no skin off my nose.
In the worst case, I’d rather deal with man-made global warming than with Communism....is it just me?
The rock plates under the Asian landmass are deep so a little water isn’t going to do a damned thing except keep fake scientists/professors in their jobs fooling the uneducated and the blind.
Rock, Paper, Water!
This article had more “mays” than a stack of calendars.
More “suspects” than a jail, and more “possibility/ies” than a chess game.
I suspect, just maybe, that Professor McGuire is a climate fraud. If there is any “plate” that is moving, it is the one in his head.
Just since the last Ice Age it has been considerably warmer than it is now. During the Minoan civilization and Roman times it was much warmer and humanity thrived.
We’re a tropical species and only survive harsher climates by our use of technology.
Thank God for fossil fuels and the intelligence to exploit them.
Earth has actually spent more time covered in ice than it has like it is now. This interglacial period has lasted longer than most.
And meteors! Don’t forget that MMGW is a major contributor to increased numbers of meteors and asteroids (if not icy comets, because their ice has been melted by MMGW.)
“Talk about something else that’s falling from the sky
and that is an asteroid. What’s coming our way? Is this
an effect of, perhaps, of global warming, or is this just
some meteoric occasion?” - CNN’s Deborah Feyerick
This is just plain embarrassing (for those who proposed this nonsense). Any casual, almost momentary inspection of earthquake history will reveal that there is no big increase in major earthquakes. Cities have been falling throughout history at roughly the same rate as in the past century, if not more frequently. The theory advanced is nonsense and a desperate attempt to suck money out of the pockets of extremely gullible low information voters.
““The problem with quotes on the internet is it’s difficult to tell whether they’re accurate or not.” ~ Abraham Lincoln”
ok, I like it, I really do. but, you could look at the other side of the coin and, with brian Williams in mind, say that the problem with conventional news media is it’s also difficult to tell whether it’s accurate or not.
The warmists are correct.
Rev. 16:17 Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, “It is done.”
18 And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.
19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath.
20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.
21 And huge hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, *came down from heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague *was extremely severe.
Climate change causes riots too.
It’s twue, it’s twue!
Global Warming caused me to lose my car keys.
Bullshite. Earthquakes are caused by plate tectonics when they grind against each other below the earth’s surface. This guy is a DMF. D stands for Dumb.
I thought that quote came from 0bama.....
< /Internet sarc >
Climate change is going to cause the sun to rise tomorrow morning!
Isn’t this just slightly ...OBVIOUS?
Virtually every single thing I have heard purported to be from a “Climate Change Scientist” has been self-evident crap, and this is no different.
And what’s this “climate change scientist” nonsense? Isn’t that an oxymoron?
Or just a garden variety moron.
