Big volcanic Eruption: Is Our Planet Angry?

[MarkC]

There have always been earthquakes and volcanic eruptions(which, by the way, Schmoe, actually contribute to cooling rather than warming). We hear about more these days because more people have more access to more information, and hardly anything happens anywhere that everybody doesn't hear about very shortly afterward.
Trying to imply something about alleged end times from this is ridiculous.

San Diego is full of people "from the midwest." Trust me, it's unlikely you'll move back!

The town I live in now was totally destroyed by an earthquake in 1931. The 1932 building I live in is a result of the thinking that went on after that event - fully re-enforced concrete and only 2 stories.

All the places the earthquakes have been happening are places where earthquakes happen.

This is pretty obvious, compared to before we began pouring things into it.

I think we are, but not in the way a lot of folks think. Surely 7 billion people inhaling and exhaling 98.6 degree air 20 times a minute, is contruibuting to the rise in global temps.

Agreed. The current "rash" of tectonic events is nothing new, and nothing more than the high end of a normal cycle.

Let's not put these labels on our planet. The Earth has been proven scientifically to be bi-polar.


As far as planets go, I more term it "moody".
