Linda Guadino, who is an “Emmy winning reporter”, has perhaps the dumbest tweets of the day
Can climate change play a role in the frequency of earthquakes?
The quake in New Jersey today was magnitude 4.8. So far, there have only been 13 quakes in the area that were deemed "damaging" by the National Earthquake Information Center. @NBCNewYork https://t.co/lBytwirIPN

I jokingly blamed Trump, since his Bedminster golf course is actually pretty darned close to the epicenter, which the USGS had as 4.8 at 7KM NNE from Whitehouse Station, NJ.
M 4.7 – 7 km earthquake NNE of Whitehouse Station, New Jersey. We felt the tremor here in Midtown East.
Remember, Roosevelt Island + Queens felt the 1.7 M in January.

This is just pure cult, where her mind jumps to this. East of the Mississippi is very high bedrock, unlike west of the Mississippi, and especially out on the West coast. You feel much smaller earthquakes much further away here in the East. When the 7-8 earthquakes happened in the New Madrid Seismic Zone in 1811-1812 the rang church bells in Boston, broke windows in NYC and Chicago. They even felt the earthquakes in Canada. The Mississippi ran backwards. The San Francisco earthquake of 1989 during the World Series was noticed as far away as LA, but, didn’t have the same power as an East Coast earthquake.
Anyhow, it’s nice to have confirmation of anti-science cultists at NBC News.
Quick. Sue Exxon-Mobile for any damage the Earthquake caused. Gaia certainly isn’t going to reimburse anyone.
actually its linked to the amazing stupidity of journalists.

Not only are “journalists” as a class profoundly dishonest, they’re galactically stupid as well.
No matter how you hate them, it will never be enough.
