When LST Commenter Tedtam posted a link to this story I honestly thought it was a joke. I’ve heard quack scientists blame global warming for many things but never this:
New research compiled by Australian scientist Dr. Tom Chalko shows that global seismic activity on Earth is now five times more energetic than it was just 20 years ago.
The research proves that destructive ability of earthquakes on Earth increases alarmingly fast and that this trend is set to continue, unless the problem of “global warming” is comprehensively and urgently addressed.
Yes, that’s right folks. If we don’t address “global warming”, or as Dr. Chalko says, the problem of persistent thermal imbalance of Earth (PTIE), we are all going to be swallowed up by Gaia’s noble chasms of annihilation!
The analysis of more than 386,000 earthquakes between 1973 and 2007 recorded on the US Geological Survey database proved that the global annual energy of earthquakes on Earth began increasing very fast since 1990.
Dr. Chalko said that global seismic activity was increasing faster than any other global warming indicator on Earth and that this increase is extremely alarming.
What idiot decided that seismic activity was a global warming indicator? Anyone suggesting that such a ridiculous correlation is a causation should have any and all scientific degrees, awards, accreditations, tenure, and his birth certificate revoked toot sweet. In addition he should be taxed for excessive stupidity.
Was it even considered that we’ve only been gathering data on seismic activity on a global scale since the last half of the 20th century? Was global warming responsible for the catastrophic prehistoric earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, many dwarfing any we’ve ever seen, that have been discovered in the fossil record? What about the massive seismic and volcanic events that have been witnessed and recorded by mankind over the last couple thousand years? Global warming too?
“Unless the problem of global warming (the problem of persistent thermal imbalance of Earth) is addressed urgently and comprehensively - the rapid increase in global seismic, volcanic and tectonic activity is certain. Consequences of inaction can only be catastrophic. There is no time for half-measures.”
Just when you think this debate cannot possibly get any stranger a poster child for the benefits of retroactive vasectomies stumbles into the light.
Actually, this may be a good thing. The more imbecilic these charlatans sound the quicker we can dispense of this nonsense.

Don’t you know it’s “consensus” that Global Warming exists? Of course, it was once “consensus” that the earth was flat, too…
Thats my feeling, gone are the days the left incrementally moves the pendulum. It is hard to keep track of all the sharks they jump anymore.
Environmentalists are living proof that evolution goes backwards.
Now you’re a seismic expert. I’m impressed.
#4 LOL. Nope, I just have a small amount of common sense. Please don’t tell me you actually find this plausible. Please tell me you’re just yanking my chain
The bottom line is no one knows, it’s all speculation on both sides at this point.
(by the way, you don’t have to convince me about how much common sense you have - I already knew it was small)
For those who missed the discussion last night - you have GOT to read the comments after this story. How the AP even agreed to print this
fairy takestory is beyond me. Someone’s cerebral cortex is suffering from atrophy.Forgot the backslash. LSTM
Damn, I’m at it again! I thought I ended my strikethrough! It should have read:
How the AP even agreed to print this
fairy talestory is beyond me. Someone’s cerebral cortex is suffering from atrophy.My apologies for this and all the future errors I think I’m going to make today.
#6 Yup. And its all speculation that the sun will rise tomorrow but I feel 99.999999% confident saying that indeed it will.
Yes, I know I forgot the backslash! The part of my brain that controls my eyes is trying to convince me to go back to bed…

Poor analogy - you can do much better son.
Step it up. The pressure is on.
LOL.
Shakey, How about this, seismic activity is caused by heat and pressure within the core of the Earth, temperatures and pressures at the core are significantly higher than on the surface of the earth. THerefore, the surface of the Earth acts as a heatsink for the core. The boundary layer between the core and the atmosphere, the crust, causes more resistance than a few degrees heating of the atmosphere could affect. It is a thermal dynamics problem that doesn’t pan out as the scientist is proposing.

When we get into the game of challenging scientific “fact” with scientific “fact”, they will just change the “facts”.
The endgame motive I believe, muddy the waters.
I remember thinking in the minutia of the OJ trial, will we ever even trust fingerprinting results anymore much less DNA?
#13 GoodJobTim
Is the same way the “bar” gets raised? Just when you get “there”?

Then you gotta pay for all that learnin.
Great work Hamous, another wonderful contribution, David is very lucky to have you here.
And believe me I am not touching your chain.
GORE-BULL WARMING just about covers this entirely doesn’t it?
I’m telling you with George W. Bush going out of the picture and the liberals needing someone or something else to blame for all the world’s problems, it is going to be: GLOBAL WARMING!!!
Again, thanks Algore!!!
You haven’t even mentioned that the latest reports also show the tomato scare to be tied to global warming. The only tie I could find might be to a fevered brain, but it’s out there as a story.
Moose, no offense but stick to banking unless you get your PhD in seismology and climatology.
My position remains that no one knows, especially bloggers.
No one knows that the earth’s core is full of molten rock? I learned that in 3rd grade science.
#20 By your own definition then, Dr. Chalko doesn’t know crap:
ROFLMAO! No educational background at all in seismology and climatology, much less a PhD. Charlatan!
Right on Tedtam in referring readers to yesterday’s comments on your post. Or better yet, moving them over here.
Follow the money. Without the Cold War, scientists need something alarming in order to drum up government grants and funding.
Let me see if I follow your line of alleged reasoning:
1. We should only listen to seismology/climatology PhD’s, because only they’re qualified to give opinions.
2. All those opinions are wrong because you (without the qualifications you demand in #1) say so.
Yes
Headshaker is just exploring the limits of human perception.
#26:
Well, at least you’re open about discrediting yourself.
I can’t get being “swallowed up by Gaia’s noble chasms of annihilation” out of my head. Sounds kinda . . . nasty.
Other than the fraud perpetrated on us in the name of instituting the Federal Carbon Credit Reserve Banking System (FCCRB), in which Algore is gonna sell us paper (at face value) which we are gonna have to treat like money when it concerns energy, what’s the harm? I mean, what difference is it gonna make? China and India aren’t gonna clean up, and they are gonna burn more oil and coal than we ever thought of.
So when the “global warming” glaciers start encroaching on Miami, what we did here isn’t gonna make much difference, unless you count feeling good about making a difference.
In fact, I’m spraying an ozone-depleting fluorocarbon out the window as I type with one hand. Oh, and tossing plastic bottles into the landfill, almost forgot that one.
Headshaker, I do have adegree in Mathematics, so I would think boundary problems, feedback loops, and general theory of data analysis might be something I could speak semi intellignetly about. Not to mention I have had a few graduate courses in oceanographic climatology.
I had one semester of geology and one semester of geography at Texas A&M and scored very high (I believe a “98″ in geography, and somewhere in that neighborhood for geology). Does this make me a MMGW and seismic expert?
#31 Only if you have a passion for awareness and self healing.
#32 hamous
Crap. Screwed again.
On another note, since earthquakes, contaminated tomatoes, floods, hurricanes, allergies, feral cat population spikes, house settling, flowers in spring, butterfly migration, dust bunnies, and all devastation in general is caused by MMGW…
can we assume that the decline in the liberal IQ is also caused by cow and sheep farts?
Global warming is only about warming up the money pot because we want to keep alive.
Does anyone know where to follow-up and get more information on Dr. Chalko’s “vibration engineering?”
I watched a D-9 Caterpillar bulldozer disappear into a sink hole so deep you could only see the top of the exhaust stack at a uranium mine out in New Mexico.
do I WIN?
#30 moose
LOL OK!
#35 Rastus
here?
40 years ago, the consensus was “Global Cooling….the Ice Age is Coming”. Even Ted Danson said so, how can you go wrong with that? Now the same brainiakes yell “Global Warming” just as if this old world hasn’t been going through these consistant changes of warming and cooling from the beginning of time.I smell a $$carbon-footprint $$profit motive behind this insane ‘it’s our fault’ theory.
