Global Warming causes Earthquakes

[BlasterBates]

For those of you who don't think you are commiting "Terracide" by driving your SUV's think again:

Global Warming causes earth quakes

"At the end of the last Ice Age, there was a great increase in seismicity along the margins of the ice sheets in Scandinavia and places like this, and that triggered these huge submarine landsides which generated tsunamis," McGuire said. "So you've got the whole range of geological hazards there that can result from if we see this big catastrophic melting."

What twaddle, it was in fact the seismic activity that ened the ice age. Smoke and debris from volcanoes darkened the ice thus absorbing the sun’s heat.

So nuclear winter would prevent an ice age then?

For someone from Siberia I am surprised at you. Snow covered ground reflects light and heat. Dark colours like pavement absorb light and heat. Did you not notice on a sunny spring day how the heat haze comes up from the pavement and the snow on the grass still stays frozen?

"Nuclear winter is a predicted climatic effect of nuclear war. It has been theorized that severely cold weather and reduced sunlight for a period of months or years could be caused by detonating large numbers of nuclear weapons, especially over flammable targets such as cities, where large amounts of smoke and soot would be ejected into the Earth's stratosphere.

Similar climatic effects can be caused by a comet or asteroid impact[1][2], also sometimes termed an impact winter, or of a supervolcano eruption, known as a volcanic winter.[3]"

It all depends on amount of volcanic activity I suppose - if they all erupt then indeed there will be no ice age, but when they end ice age will probably begin proper. If you just have a handful of volcanoes (much more likely scenario) then their eruption will block sun and cool down more than they heat up with erupting lava.
