Title: Left: Global warming caused the earthquake

This is not a parody.

Treehugger, oft-quoted by lefty journalists, really believes that today’s earthquake in Japan was caused by global warming.

From Treehugger:

--

I know headlines like that might just make most folks roll their eyes at this point — I mean, what doesn’t climate change cause these days, am I right? And I realize that people are skeptical of news-cycle tie-ins, like this very story appears to be. But just because it’s sort of depressing to keep tabs on all of the myriad impacts of ol’ climate change occurring the world over, doesn’t mean we should be glossing over facts like this: Geologists believe that global warming may already be causing more earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. After all, screwing with the world’s ornery climate system to the extent which we have is bound to have far-reaching effects — effects like huge amounts of melting ice causing the earth’s crust to “bounce” up, potentially triggering earthquakes.

Which makes sense. And if you ask me, now is a perfectly apt time to be analyzing such possible causal relationships, like the one between climate change and earthquakes (which set off tsunamis). You are, after all, perhaps turning to a green site like TreeHugger to examine the environmental implications of various world events. But some insist this reeks of opportunism (especially those amongst the anti-climate crowd) — and therefore should be immediately written off as sensationalism.

--

Are these people mentally ill?

From Grist, another site oft-quoted by lefty journalists:

--

In a little-heeded warning issued at a 2009 conference on the subject, experts outlined a range of mechanisms by which climate change could already be causing more earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic activity. “When the ice is lost, the earth’s crust bounces back up again and that triggers earthquakes, which trigger submarine landslides, which cause tsunamis,” Bill McGuire, professor at University College London, told Reuters.

Melting ice masses change the pressures on the underlying earth, which can lead to earthquakes and tsunamis, but that’s just the beginning. Rising seas also change the balance of mass across earth’s surface, putting new strain on old earthquake faults, and may have been partly to blame for the devastating 2004 tsunami that struck Southeast Asia, according to experts from the China Meteorological Administration.

--

This is nutty.

These frauds have no idea of what they are talking about.

The Earth isn’t held together by layers of ice that work like duct tape.

Goodness are they dumb.

Well, the GOP has done nothing while Democrats have ensured nothing. Let me repeat, done nothing, Nothing, NOTHING other than create wars around the world while taxing Americans until a potential violent revolution is at stake to ensure not just the sanctity of and about our personal freedoms but remiss of world-wide claims.

You are another dumb-fuck; no question about it.

"I wouldn't build another one. What happens when these things die?"

Tokyo Electric Power Co. (9501.TO) said Saturday that the temperatures of its No.1 and No.2 reactors at its Fukushima Daini nuclear power station are rising, and it has lost control over pressure in the reactors.

Fukushima Daini station is the second nuclear power plant the company has in Fukushima prefecture in northeastern Japan, where the troubled Fukushima Daiichi plant is located.

Whoops, now it is five nuclear reactors.

The Earth is held together by plates.

The plates are affected by heat. They expand.

But enough volcanoes, some stratosphere reachin Cyclonic lows and we could have some cold...for a while...

This has to be the most hilarious day on LiberyForum that I've seen yet.

Seriously.

Do you know what is under those plates?

According to Al Gore, it's "several million degrees" of heat -- the same as the surface of the Sun. Of course he's WRONG on both accounts. Neither the surface of the sun or the earth's mantle are several million degrees.

BUT, the upper portion of the mantle (just under the crust, where the tectonic plates are) does fluctuate between about 700 degrees and 1,000 degrees.

Tiny, little fluctuations in the earth's atmospheric temperature do NOT affect the tectonic plates AT ALL. They are already dealing with tremendous heat.

Please don't tell me that you are middle school science teacher. I can't stand any more laughs today.

"Quote [+] #

A classic. Helen Caldicott on nuclear power plants ./.

3. Nuclear Power. A huge conspiracy of silence has been perpetrated by the global nuclear industry in its quest to build hundreds more nuclear reactors around the world as a solution to global warming. Aside from the fact that the generation of atomic electricity adds substantially to global warming, an alarming recent publication by the New York Academy of Sciences titled “Chernobyl, the Consequences of the Catastrophe for People and the Environment” documented that the accident in 1986 has so far killed over 985,000 people from cancer in all nations affected by the radioactive fallout. Whereas the International Atomic Energy Agency which represents the nuclear industry predicted only 4000 deaths from Chernobyl. Have the Tea Partiers and Republicans read this report? Are people aware that the Academy of Sciences only printed 700 copies in 2010 of this outstanding scientific publication for which they charge $150 and they are reluctant to print more? Why? Quoting: TheBonne

Here is a link to the story. [link to www.capitolhillblue.com]
