It’s almost 300 miles out into the ocean, off shore from Japan...lol

Here we go again.

And people act as if we can control ANYTHING that Mother Nature dishes out.

I’m wondering if this past weather season will be a Teachable Moment for any of the Globalist Warmists? (I doubt it.)

Those nuke reactors aren’t repaired and on-line again, are they? If so, YIKES!

[Red Badger]

Nope, they are still ‘off-line’......................

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Well, that’s good news!

They’re still leaking, and t his might make it worse.

Ping!

Earthquake tax will bring this under control.

The thing we should be more worried about is a possibility of a major eruption from one of the big volcanoes around the world. When Tambora and Krakatoa erupted in 1815 and 1883 respectively, the effect on Earth’s climate was huge for nearly a decade; and there are plenty of volcanoes in the Indonesian Archipelago that are capable of truly massive eruptions ejecting eight or more cubic miles of volcanic ash.

From one side of the Pacific Rim (Mexico just recently) to the other - Japan today.

I’m wondering if those movements are at all directly related, or does the distance between them make that unlikely.

[Ronin]

I didn’t feel it.

That’s what she said.

The CONTINENTAL PLATES are all interconnected.

That would put the kibosh of GLOWBULL WARMING!.....................

North Korean nuclear fracking is paying off dividends?

[Wuli]

Yes, we know.

But that does not mean that every movement at every juncture of a given plate has an immediate and direct relationship to any particular movement at some other point of connection with that plate, particularly as the miles between them increase.

The stress & release points are more relative to the junction points than the plate as a whole, as there are separate forces operating against that movement at those junctions.
