Reply #19: The Tsunami was NOT "related" to the earthquake?

[NickofTime]

Of course it was, the earthquake in Sumatra happened first, then the tsunami. The sequence of events makes the relationship obvious. Global warming raises sea levels, thereby lowering land levels. Pollution causes global warming. Pollution seeps deep into the earth. How do you know it doesn't cause earthquakes, too?

describes how earthquakes cause clouds, and how ground water seeps into cracks caused by tiny earthquakes. Also, see , which states:

"The concept that humans can cause earthquakes is more than a century old, yet it is still astonishing. Reservoir-induced earthquakes were not necessarily the first anthropogenic earthquakes, but they were widely recognized and studied in the mid-20th century because they could be explained by straightforward and physically plausible models. Perturbations of subsurface poromechanical conditions from the load of water in large reservoirs are clearly substantial, even at seismogenic depths, and were calculated to be of sufficient amplitude to cause failure on faults already loaded by tectonic stress. The important role of pore pressure and interstitial fluid flow became obvious when earthquakes were triggered by deep fluid injection near Denver, Colorado in the early 1960's. The propagation of seismicity as far as 5 km away from the well was interpreted as the effect of an expanding fluid pressure front. Injection was halted to reduce earthquake hazard, yet seismicity continued, producing the largest earthquake a year later."

Those tiny cracks are the shattering of the bones of the Earth. As men assail our planet, it will fight back for survival.
