Well, if it hits us at the correct angle, global warming could be very real for a few hours/days as we move closer to the sun.

If the moon is an unstable orbit, it could end up colliding with the earth. On the plus side, it would make global warming a fairly moot point.Originally posted by WTFH View PostIf gravity becomes stronger then will it pull the moon into a less stable orbit?
In which case the tides get affected as well.

Or maybe that could cause runaway gravitational anomalies, and the Earth would end up with hundred mile deep dimples like a golf ball?Originally posted by scooterscot View PostSeems 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.
Jeez, I thought nobody could be more ignorant about all this than Blasterbates, but you've shown that is wrong

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.

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.Originally posted by pjclarke View PostThe 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.
