If you remove a few letters from “earthquakes” and the “-” from the “e”, you’re left with “quacks”
(Environment360) Geological disasters might influence climate, for instance when volcanic debris blots out the sun. But climate cannot disrupt geology. Right? Well, actually no, says a British geologist Bill McGuire, in a troubling new book, Waking The Giant: How a Changing Climate Triggers Earthquakes, Tsunamis and Volcanoes.
There is, McGuire argues, growing evidence to incriminate changing climate in the planet’s most destructive geological events. Melting ice sheets and changes in sea level can, he maintains, set off the largest earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Indeed, thanks to climate change, a human hand may already be at work. Potentially, McGuire’s argument adds a whole new dimension to why we should be worried about climate change.
Except, there were no receding glaciers near the massive earthquakes in Japan and Indonesia. Nor the big ones in Mexico, Chile, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and many others. Yet again, much like with “climate change” and weather, they’re taking events and assigning causation with inference. Much like “man induced “climate change” itself.
