Here is a thought I have had, before I read it, on earthquakes/volcanos spiking:
I even emailed the USGS, they said nope. So I sent back some of their own research … not a word back.
You have the polar ice melting right – BOTH poles – not just the one in the North. 🙂
Billions of tons are therefor “moving off” the crust on both poles, the water flowing into the oceans.
The crust over both poles moving ever so slightly upwards.
No? O yes: Melting Glaciers Are Wreaking Havoc on Earth’s Crust
You have read about this Magnetic north just changed. Here’s what that means.
Now if the earth’s crust is rising ever so slightly over BOTH poles, the earth axis is moving due to some weight shifting with the sphere (most of us believe that) we live on having to re-settle coupled with say stuff like Newton’s (not papers published) tried and tested laws … equal but opposite reaction … what can possibly go wrong?
Maybe more earthquakes or new quakes zones in places no-one knew/forgot them to be?
Maybe a few existing volcanoes popping a top or two, maybe new ones appearing?
More of what happened in Hawaii?
Or the worst, a subduction zone – or two – slipping ever so slightly a fraction of a centimeter or two?
All because of the polar ice caps melting resulting in the ever so slight movement of the earth’s crust over BOTH the poles necessitating a global resettling/stress release along some/most/all faultlines?
So here is a tin-hat-high-on-exhaust-gas scaremongering thought:
Which 1st world countries would be most affected? USA definitely, maybe China, not Russia so much.
Which states in the USA have a higher GDP than some countries, have the “brains” of the world in one place?
Are there any subduction zones close to these rich, highly educated states?
Now ask: Which countries are fighting Global Climate Change?
What are the chances that maybe this is one seriously nefarious cleverly disguised strategy to bring the USA to its knees by allowing the poles to melt?
Like I said, tin-hat-high-on-exhaust-gas scaremongering thought.
The science in the first half of this post still stands.
