whats the deal with all the LARGE earthquakes recently

[Mifune]

Lots O Action with the rumble and tumble...

Taiwan
Fairbanks
PaPau New Guinea
India

there were some good ones over the last couple days

Climate change/global heating.

Yup. That and a 747 flying 15 minutes to vote a primary.

Very unlikely that a 1 degree temperature increase in the top few feet of soil is affecting the movement of rock ten miles down where it's 900 degrees.

For some folks any abnormal weather/earth event of any nature automatically gets categorized as climate change.

It’s all above my pay grade but in LA often in the fall when it’s hot and dry with Santa Ana’s blowing it often referred to as earthquake weather.

I’ve lived in California for 36 years and only felt maybe 4 earthquakes and none in years but the hot dry fall seems like when they occur. Santa Rosa where I used to live had one last week.

But then again I never experienced forest fires except the last few years either.

And just saw on the news a 7.6 in Mexico along the Pacific Coast

Is it impossible for these "folks" to be correct?

Anyway, I'd rather trust science than folklore....

Yeah, that looks authoritative (borderline folklore). Try the NOAA and NASA websites. You'll find real data in a user friendly format.

We had 40 degrees here in July - a record for the UK. Forest fires throughout Europe, crop failures, etc.

I don't know what's going on, but it's frightening, and if there is even a chance that it's related to burning carbon, then it seems very ill-advised to ignore that possibility, especially as we already have alternatives for power generation.

Fantastic, do you have a link?

Edit - you added the link! Thanks again.

You are going to get more of that for another 1000 years or so. We are in an interglacial period, it's supposed to be lot warmer than it was 20,000 years ago when Europe was covered in ice sheets.

Agree. We as a species need to change our energy procurement, to renewables and non polluting. To those of you that claim this is a natural cycle for the planet and we would be experiencing these phenomena even if we had never added CO2 to the atmosphere, you may be right, but obtaining energy from clean methods is still a great idea for the future of our race.

I think that part of the issue is the speed at which the volatility of the weather is now happening is a major issue and I think it counters the climate change deniers view that this is a natural happening event.

It’s not just that climate and weather are changing, it’s the speed at which these changes are occurring and the extremes of those changes.

In fact anyone who enjoys the beach walk on Maui’s Ka’anapali beach between the Sheraton Black Rock and the Hyatt, will today find that the sidewalk in front of the Ali’i condos, in between the Weston and the Marriott is now falling into the ocean. And a sailboat is now laying on its side in front of the Marriott.

I mean, of all the nerve. We had to walk through the Ali’is property. Stupid climate change.

I'm still waiting for just one of their first Earth Day predictions to come true. It's only been 50 years.

The NOAA link above describes the rapid temperature changes as part of the interglacial cycle for the last million years. The ice age had much better beaches in Hawaii 15,000 years ago when the sea levels were much lower.

We don't have these problems in Wailea.

I know. I was there at the Marriott in March.

The higher the real estate values the better the weather behaves.

That’s when I should have come. Could have got some primo property at a far better price.

Well if this helps any, the answer to the OPs question is, there is no deal in place.

They just happen and we don’t really know what the trigger is.

I actually asked the same question 250 million years ago when there was only one continent, Pangea. And now we have a whole bunch of them.

It’s a mystery.

Why not post your opinion about what's causing increasing earthquakes?

In the meantime, don't look up, look down.
