Nepal Earthquake blamed on Global Warming.

 

http://dailycaller.com/2015/04/27/prof-claims-global-warming-caused-nepals-earthquakes/

“It now appears that there exists a clear relationship between the global warming and earthquakes and other under earth activities,” writes Dr. Vivek Kumar Srivastava, an assistant professor at India’s Kanpur University.

“This fear is not unfounded, as there is increased water quantity in the oceans, and inside earth zones experience increased pressures,” he writes on the website, Countercurrents.,org

“Global warming has many aspects, but one aspect which requires a deep study is related to its capacity to change the pressure attribute of the earth sphere,” Srivastava says. “These pressure changes have impact on the pressure belts in the atmosphere; these have impact on the ocean water and subsequent impact on the inside area of the earth.”

I don't doubt it.

Climate change causes an increase/change in natural disastrous. That's not that extraordinary. I trust the words of the people who have studied it. It's not that crazy a claim.

But, the idea that earthquakes can be caused by global warming hasn't been studied, that's what the guy is saying he wants to research.

Side: I don't doubt it.

There is no doubt that this is true. There was no such thing as earthquakes before the industrial revolution, which is when the global warming process commenced. If you believe this then you'd believe horse balls are lemons. Thinking up these absurd notions is one thing, but actually printing such raw sewage and expecting people to believe it should be made a criminal offence.

It would appear that Dr. Vivek Kumar Srivastavais is in dire need of another GW research grant.

No absolutely no,it's the collision of geographic plates under the surface which've caused the tremors and has least to do with Global Warming.Besides,there's more chances of these tremors in the hilly terrains so not a big surprise.Nepal has several weak Earthquake zones,one close to their capital.

Side: Wait..., what? No!!!

Exactly. I've always heard that plate tectonics are was what causes earthquakes. Nepal has a history of severe earthquakes.

Global Warming can be blamed on the terrorists, therefore, I blame the terrorists for the earthquake.

Yeah they sent waves of panic through the tectonic plates causing more obliteration than earthquake.

Exactly. Thanks for agreeing with me. It's hard to get anyone to agree now a days. Especially in such a setting.

I would like scientists to do an unbiased global study with research on what if any effect underground human activity has or may have upon natural events.

For instance underground atomic tests, oil drilling, fracking, mining, etc within the earths crust and whether such human activities can have an accumulative effect upon the natural forces that govern such events.

If not then it is questionable whether human activity can affect an earthquake, especially if there is no proven relationship between the creation of global warming and an earthquake.

Side: Wait..., what? No!!!

Just last week, Oklahoma acknowledged the likely link between its earthquakes and the water used for oil and gas extraction.

Good reading

Though it will have to be substantiated in other drilling areas that appears to be a very reasonable presentation of factual evidence

Multiply that 1000,000 times around the globe and the potential is astounding.
