AGW - nothing to worry about

The sea floor will just sink so we won't notice the difference: -

Don't want to upset the lizards...

The opposite. The deformation means the satellite altimeters that measure sea level rise are underestimating by about 8%.

I was once ridiculed on here (and why else would I come?) for proposing that global warming will cause more earthquakes, well this is the mechanism, as ice sheets melt, the released downward pressure increases the likelihood of seismic events in the land below.

Even the Daily Mail says so.

The opposite.

Do I have to put at the end of obvious sarcastic posts?

Oh well. Sarcasm. Irony. Who cares.....

Earthquakes are caused by the movement of continental plates so let us presume that the pressure of the oceans does increase the frequency of earthquakes, that means the potential energy build up between earthquakes will be less as the pressure of the water "lubricates" the continental plates, and therefore more earthquakes of a lesser magnitude will be beneficial.

Maybe the water will weigh so much that the plates stop moving. No more earthquakes.

The extra water resistance and therefore effort required to swim through it will mean super sharks akin to dinosaurs though.

Seems you know as much about Earthquakes as you do about AGW, which is the square root of Feck All

Seems you know as much about bullsh*t spewed out by pseudo scientists on Earthquakes as you do about bullsh*t spewed out by pseudo scientists on AGW, which is the square root of Feck All

Global warming leads to warmer winters

Record cold winter

Seems to suggest gravity will become stronger at those areas on the planet's surface. This could encourage increased movement of the continental plates resulting in ever stronger earthquakes.

Who'd have thunk it, runaway global climate change resulting in earthquakes.

If gravity becomes stronger then will it pull the moon into a less stable orbit?
In which case the tides get affected as well.
