So, a tsunami has hit Indonesia, and there are scores missing and 222 dead at this time. Some of the video is amazingly horrific. It was caused by Anak Krakatau, and ever growing volcano in the same area as the original Krakatau. But, of course, Cult of Climastrology
Heartbreaking to have to witnesses the destructive power of nature and climate change.
Sending my love and my support to all my Indonesian friends and their families. ðŸ™#IndonesiaTsunami #Indonesia #TsunamiSelatSunda https://t.co/ffWqiuo3ru— Ala Oueslati (@AlaOueslat) December 23, 2018
Fire destroys Paradise, CA, 7.0 quake in Alaska. Today, unexpected tsunami hits Indonesia with at least 222 reported dead. However, climate change is #fakenews. Think again:https://t.co/Jdfy8kustK

My heart goes out to all the victims & those affected by the horrific tsunami that struck Indonesia without any warning. Such a tragedy. With all the increases in catastrophic events lately, it is more apparent than ever that we take things like climate change seriously.

What a sad news! Another consequence of human development @Climate_Action_ #Tsunami #climatechange https://t.co/vFchrBCK0A

Really? Mankind created the volcano because people drove fossil fueled vehicles?
Waking up and hearing about Indonesia is heartbreaking. I hope coverage does this tragedy justice and recognises this is the very real effect of climate change. #Tsunami #ClimateBreakdown https://t.co/MFIRnc95mo

Seriously, this goes on and on and on. These are not just a few scattered ravings (well, they are ravings) of demented people. And many more are just mentioning the tsunami and include a #climatechange hashtag.

Stopping here.
Making the connection of a volcanic eruption to an effect of climate change can only come from the magical thinking of children. Objective reasoning is becoming a scarce commodity in today’s twitterverse.
I was thinking the same thing, JGlanton. Let’s list a whole bunch of random occurrences and blame them on “climate change” and by inference it’s man’s fault. How about this: stabbings, beatings and poisonings! We need common sense gun control! Now!
Actually, it makes sense that increases in sea level would increase the damage from tsunamis.

And geologists claim that large changes in ice sheets and glacial ice can trigger earthquakes. Fracking also triggers earthquakes.
But none of this suggests that the latest Indonesian tsunami, likely triggered by landslide from a volcano, has an association with global warming.
Actually, it makes no sense at all, since tidal waves are caused by earthquakes and/or volcanic eruptions.
