OK, if the Japan Quake moved Japan eight feet closer towards the US and both titled the Earth's axis and created a wobble some, don't you think THAT would slightly alter weather?

The Banda Aceh quake (indonesia quake and tsunami) moved that place by almost 60 feet back in 2004, that also wobbled and moved the Earth's axis slightly.

So, don't you think it is plausible that over time, all these earthquakes, plate movements, tsunamis, and axis wobbling and movements would affect the Earth's weather patterns?

Part of the natural cycle of the Earth warming and cooling as it has always done for billions of years?

No, Al Gore is responsible for the earthquakes and the wobble. If he would have just gone on a diet none of this would have happened.

It certainly points to the fact that man has enough enemy's by the environment and that man doesn't need man as it's enemy. That is to say there is no shortage of things to fight and "man" doesn't need to be one of them.

I think your last sentence sums it up for me, and I don't believe throwing money at something that is way out of our control makes any sense.

I take that back, it makes sense for those receiving that money. Wink

Sums it up for me too. I remember when I was a kid in the early 70's they were saying we were heading for another ice age, how can they tell us what it's going to do, they can't even tell us if it's going to rain on tuesday with any accuracy.

It's never been about the money, it's the controll.

People die of natural causes, and people die at the hand of man. Maybe its the same for our quality of life on this rock.

I still have not heard one explanation as to why the ice ages ended.

Tell me why the ice ages began and ended, and maybe I will believe your global warming theories

The "experts" say that a metor hit the planet causing a giant dust cloud to cover the earth and whiping out the dinosaurs. Then it got really cold and when the dust settled it got warm again. I just don't buy it though. if a metor hit the earth that hard you would think it would have done alot worse.

Whether it was because of increased volcanism, an increase in CO2 in the atmosphere, changes in the Earth's orbit or angle of inclination, the oceans temp changing or a combination of various factors.
We don't know.

And this very reason is why it is so stupid to assume we know whats changing the climate now.

Yes but since the climate is changing, it makes sense to hypothesize then develop testable theories on said change.

Geez Dave, It's called Climate Change now! So many places are colder as years go by they had to change the name to keep sucking money into their "research".

I believe it's possible all of that stuff could affect the "weather patterns"...if all of that stuff is actually happening. I don't think it would have anything to do with "global warming" unless it caused the earth to orbit closer to the sun or increased the burn of the earths core.

It's good to see all the Sc.D's and Ph.D's on the board weighing in.

Are these that hold ScD's and PhD's immune from political power and corruption?

Climate and earthquakes have very little to do with each other. An earthquake would have little to no impact on climate and climate certainly has absolutely no influence on whether a quake happens or doesn't happen. Volcanoes on the other hand can effect climate but climate wouldn't effect whether or not a volcano happens. The distance between the moon and the earth can effect earthquakes on the other hand and it just so happens the moon is closer to the earth than it's been in years.

Maybe, but there is nothing proving it. The sun and the ocean have a much bigger impact then humans can ever possibly have.

Millions of years of volcanoes spewing garbage, gases and CO2 into the atmosphere didn't destroy the planet and turn it into a hot ball of uninhabitable fire, but a hundred and fifty years of industrialization can.

Yeah, I can see that

We have gotten into the mess were in today, because of that mentality. Turn your life over to those who are suppose to be smarter than the rest of us, and corruption is sure to follow.

That includes the field of science.

Do some research before you call someone an idiot.

The amount of damage volcanoes do to the atmosphere are off the charts.

wtf Dave...I come on here to disagree with you and this is the 3rd or 4th thread in a row where I agree with you.
