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.

Makes perfect sense. As the earth heats, the globe and the atmosphere both expand, making earth a larger target, sweeping a broader expanse of space. ;-)
My government check for that research conclusion is in the mail; should arrive any day now.
So the earthquake in Nepal is my fault for driving a car?
They will go anywhere to make up new globull warming stories. The delata silts are deposited over thousands upon thousands of years and occur at the output of all major rivers. The Mississippi has deposited so much silt in the Gulf that they claim it has bowed the seabed tremendously and someday it will result in an "event".
Of course, these 'scientists' are typical liberals with a certain agenda, which is to make people poorer and less free.
platelets have been moving since the breakup of pangea...
more libtard climate b.s.
the himalayas were formed by moving platelets..that contiue to move from time to time... climate has nothing to do with it and besides the climate / weather is controlled by SUN CYCLES... so stop pushing for political tyranny under the guise of saving the earth and humanity ... libtards are just plain STUPID... and liars....
the guy who bought NEWSWEAK for a buck paid $0.98 cents too much....
