Climate change affects tectonic plate movement, causing earthquakes: study

[JohnSmith2007 353]

There you have it, John. Steven is not implying anything about 'Man'-Made GW.

No, Steven says he is not implying anything. Reality is very different. Take a look at post #2. It seems that a lot of people agree with me. They know Steven, you haven't been here long enough to understand that what he says and what he does are frequently two different things.

Have you done a diagnostic on your logic circuits, HAL?

Hmm.. you know, you may be onto something there.

Please forgive my newness here then. I will watch out for Steven's shrewd intent and assume he could be trying to cram that science into our eyes. There clearly must be some kind of conspiracy on his part, and these research findings clearly must indicate something the researchers are not really talking about. Even though they clearly stated...

Iaffaldano stressed that his study did not mean that global warming would translate to stronger earthquakes happening more often, with the relevant patterns developing over "the order of millions of years."

I will also assume those +1s are nothing more than articles of truth.

See what you've done, I don't know how to replicate his profile name, You regulars know who I'm referring to.. ?

Now I am no longer an individual voicing an opinion but a stigma labeled the "sock puppet".

Thanks!

GW/Climate Change has always been happening. It wouldn't be crazy to find links between climate events and the geology. This research team just showed some preliminary correlation. Breathe.

Yes you are right, climate change has happened since the earth formed and will continue as long as there is an earth. I am not disputing the idea that the climate MAY cause some type of tectonic changes but you are not getting my point. This story is nothing but an attempt by Steven to link GW with the earthquake in Japan. The talk of that started the day after the earthquake and I have been waiting for Steven to latch onto it. The story is intentionally misleading and so was Stevens intentions despite what he says. He is a tin foil hat wearer and you are defending him.

Well... IF climate change/global warming has an effect on geological events, THEN seismic activity may be affected. That is what Steven posted, and its best to agree or disagree with the posted words until a clear pattern of intent can be established. I know you may have a history with him, and that's fine, but I prefer the story at hand. You on the other hand seem to have a vendetta.

I must be careful with what people say on the internet then. You never know who is saying what and who is who.

I don't really care about the story itself, only the intent of the author and Steven to try and imply that GW is causing earthquakes. Remember, the people that did the study are not the same ones that wrote the story. Clearly, the intent was to imply that GW was causing earthquakes. For proof all you need to do is read the title and the first two lines of the story.

Climate change affects tectonic plate movement, causing earthquakes: study

Scientists have for the first time shown a link between intensifying climate events and tectonic plate movement in findings that could provide a valuable insight into why huge tremors occur.

Understanding why plates change direction and speed is key to unlocking huge seismic events such as last month's Japan earthquake, which shifted the Earth's axis by several inches, or February's New Zealand quake.

I am calling out Steven for yet another lame attempt to blame everything from earthquakes to acne on GW.

Have you ever heard of a self-fulfilling prophecy? That's what you are doing right here.

Then you do have a vendetta. For that, then, this thread is not the correct place for you to be having an anti-Steven attack.

The story itself is saying something you agree with and disagree with at the same time. GW is natural and sufficient evidence states that it is man-made in addition to the natural causes. You seem to be missing things because you are not reading things carefully in your knee-jerk to assume intent.

Now, acne rates may increase if global temps continue to increase- acne has bacterial roots, and these tend to thrive better when temperatures are higher. And global mean temperatures have steadily increased. I am sure you can refute what science has agreed to as well, and that would be your opinion to be somehow scientifically defended.

hehe, I can see we are going to have fun. Welcome to P&R. Anytime Steven posts anything about GW with his agenda of blaming everything he can on it I will be there. If you don't like it then tough.

As to your statement about GW being natural and the sufficient evidence of a man made component, nope. We are not having GW since the temps have stayed the same since 1998. Any and all variations of the global temps is 100% natural. Every single model and prediction having something to do with the man made component of climate change has failed. Not a single one of them has come true. Man is no more responsible for climate change than we are responsible for the last ice age or warm spell. It is beyond our ability to start the change or to stop it.

You are always welcome to any discussion you like- even if that discussion is way off the topic being discussed. That will only reinforce how logical you are... When the topic is A, discuss A. Its called being congruent. Steven may have a man-made GW slant, and you may have an anti-man-made GW slant. Arguing in the way you argue- in absolutes- within a scientific context, however, immediately discredits you from being able to make scientific judgements.
