thought i'd repost just incase a few of you missed it.
here's a bit of research i did this morning. this site puts differant numbers for the differant categories of quakes. also they say that due to the increase in sysmic equipment they are recording more quake data. this is why i concentrated more on largest & deadliest quakes since 1991. as the smaller quakes being recorded do show an increase, but my point was an increase in larger and more damaging quakes, with a higher loss of life. not merely an increase in recorded data.

of the 22 deadliest earth quakes ever to have hit causing over 50.000+ deaths, starting from 856 AD in Iran with a 200.000 fatality rate. 7 of them have been within the last 100 years and 4 have been since 1990.
that's 11 out of 22 in the last 100 years over a 1200 year span. these natural disasters, not just earthquakes are only going to get worse and worse. your emissions and co2 are a mere pebble in a lake compared to what is coming.
