Dear friends: You probably are not aware of another consequence of Climate Change which can initially unintuitive and, of course, not publicized: CLIMATE CHANGE CAUSES EARTHQUAKES, VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS AND TSUNAMIS. The catastrophic earthquakes in Mexico in 2017, the disastrous 2018 volcanic eruptions in Vanuatu, Hawaii and Guatemala are very likely the result of a warming atmosphere, and as with the other "symptoms"of Climate Change, there is no response to deal with this other challenge to the future of life on planet Earth. The attached 2012 article explains how this Climate Change reality works. Here are some telling paragraphs from it: " In the detached US state of Alaska, where climate change has propelled temperatures upward by more than 3 degrees Celsius in the last half century, the glaciers are melting at a staggering rate, some losing up to 1 kilometer in thickness in the last 100 years. The reduction in weight on the crust beneath is allowing faults contained therein to slide more easily, promoting increased earthquake activity in recent decades. The permafrost that helps hold the state’s mountain peaks together is also thawing rapidly, leading to a rise in the number of giant rock and ice avalanches. In fact, in mountainous areas around the world, landslide activity is on the up, a reaction both to a general ramping-up of global temperatures and to the increasingly frequent summer heat waves. GPS measurements reveal that the crust beneath the Greenland ice sheet is already rebounding in response to rapid melting, providing the potential—according to researchers—for future earthquakes, as faults beneath the ice are relieved of their confining load. The possibility exists that these could trigger submarine landslides spawning tsunamis capable of threatening North Atlantic coastlines. Eastern Iceland is bouncing back too as its Vatnajökull ice cap fades away. When and if it vanishes entirely, new research predicts a lively response from the volcanoes currently residing beneath. A dramatic elevation in landslide activity would be inevitable in the Andes, Himalayas, European Alps, and elsewhere, as the ice and permafrost that sustains many mountain faces melts and thaws. Across the world, as sea levels climb remorselessly, the load-related bending of the crust around the margins of the ocean basins might—in time—act to sufficiently “unclamp” coastal faults such as California’s San Andreas, allowing them to move more easily, at the same time acting to squeeze magma out of susceptible volcanoes that are primed and ready to blow." Please keep on spreading the word on the urgency of the Climate Crisis and keep on acting.
