There is absolutely NO primary source data provided here.
"Geologists have long puzzled over anecdotal reports of strange atmospheric phenomena in the days before big earthquakes. But good data to back up these stories has been hard to come by." Really?
Why should we believe that there is ANY credible discussion among geologists or that there is any Demeter Data that supports the claims here? Where is the scholarly journal article that presents the supposed data and the supposed "puzzling" by geologists.
HAARP? Damn, if only a whimpy little radio wave transmitter had the power claimed here! Then we might actually have a tool to tinker with the oncoming global climate catastrophe driven by the very unsexy accumulation of atmospheric CO2. If only!
Here's something that all might benefit from reading. It was posted on /v/thought a few days ago. Both parties need to open their minds and keep researching and observing. Looking at who's in this conversation, I hope there are no shills, we're just part of trying to grow voat without negativity taking over. I do feel this post is better over in wildspeculation at this point, but who among us knows jack, really? :-)
I do know that in the days spent 3/11/11 and onward in front of the nhk webcam watching those 3 reactors blow, and looking at who was immediately downwind, moi and moi's loved ones, my whole world changed and imo, if that didn't happen for you, you weren't paying attention to the fact that an extinction level event just happened. It's not fixed over there and never will be in many lifetimes. The amount of radiation being released is totally unprecedented in history with no end in sight. Like future generations will have to come up with the technology to "clean up" Fuku. In the meantime, it spews and leaks continually. It's some dangerous stuff and yet we continue to operate and build more nuclear plants even in the US. Complete folly.
Jack is a good friend of mine, thank you very much. I like Jill too but don't get me started on this "family dynamic". Yuck.
Regarding extinction level events, that would be the rise in global CO2 levels driven by the fantasy of unlimited growth on a finite planet.
There are safer reactor designs and the Gates Foundation is funding the fourth generation Breeder type reactors that we will certainly need to supplement wind and solar as we jettison our carbon fuel sources. I know that it is mothers milk on the progressive side to deny the role that nuclear will have to play in this transition but I will side with the scientist and former anti-nuclear folks who now see no alternative. Honest people have made the case and I find it compelling. The alternative of simply not having the power is unrealistic and not based in political reality.
If you want to save this human civilization and prevent a worsening catastrophe which global warming/ocean acidification represents then you must re-look at the limited role that nuclear will have to play here.
