Reply #157: Anything above 8 is described as a GREAT earthquake ... [View All]

As for the other stuff, it seems deaf to what Global Warming is actually about, its

severity now and the conditions it is causing.

Seismologists measure earthquakes on a scale of magnitude which indicates severity of the quake. A magnitude 3-4 is considered minor, 5-7 moderately strong, a quake of 7-8 is major and 8 or above is great.

I'd also add that it's likely that volcanic activity should have been added to the

Pentagon's list!!


Recent earthquakes in Chile, Taiwan, Haiti, and now Turkey and other areas raise the concerns of many across the globe. What is happening to our world? Does this herald the end of this planet and life as we know it? While scientists dismiss these events as a normal part of the process, others are beginning to wonder just want is going on. That our planet is undergoing drastic change is no longer in doubt. Where we are headed is anybody's guess, but one thing is sure---we may be on the cusp of major earthquake activity, and as a consequence increased volcanic activity might answer the issues produced by global warming.

And now add New Zealand and Japan to that --
