Increase in earthquake and volcanic activity man-made, according to latest scientific analysis of the facts.

A new explanation for the increase in earthquake and volcanic activity these past few decades has recently been published – it’s caused by the increase in global energy production and industrialization.

Much of the data collected as evidence to test climate-change models is inconsistent with predictions of the greenhouse gas model. However the same data is fully consistent with the physics of increasing strain on the earth’s tectonic plate as a result of the gradual reduction of land ice mass and the gradual addition of water to the oceans.

The strain can be calculated from ice mass movements and simple geotechnical considerations. The data shows that recent increases in global energy production and industrialization correlate very well with the increasing trend in atmospheric greenhouse gas levels and the rapidly disappearing glaciers and ice cover on certain ice shelves and mountain tops. This trend also correlates very well with the recent increase in earthquake and volcanic activity these past few decades. These three correlations and the observed accelerating trends are so close that a cause-effect relationship is extremely difficult to refute. Furthermore, the comparatively slow and constant rise in sea level and the slow and constant rise in atmospheric temperature are well correlated over a very long term. Only one explanation can tie all these correlations and FACTS together. The increase in earthquake and volcanic activity is therefore extremely likely to be the result of man-made energy production and industrialization. Read more details at UNCENSORED MAGAZINE
