Global Warming and Earthquakes
Well as if droughts, tornadoes, hurricanes, and heat waves weren't enough, scientists are now talking about earthquakes and volcanoes being linked to global warming. The theory runs like this. The ice sheets and glaciers are ice, and that weighs a lot - 1 cubic meter weighs a ton. All that ice depresses the crust of the earth. As the ice melts, it causes a rebounding in the crust. On the other hand, the weight transfers to the oceans which increases crustal pressure under the ocean. Therefore, the ice melt caused by global warming shifts weight on the earth's crust resulting in earthquakes and volcanic activity.
Once again, it seems that all things are connected.

But those who have said, "Why not?" will have vanished, pretending to have been one of us all along...(evil always takes the concepts of good and turns them against good...just as good takes the concepts of evil to turn against evil...) Strange how this all works out.

Nothing but muddy brown! I began to doubt the facts I was told were unquestionable, but saw many around me did not who still think everything together should be White.
