CNN: Volcanoes and Earthquakes Are Gaia's Revenge
Posted by Gregory of Yardale at April 23, 2010 3:00 PM
From the network where an anchor wondered how there could be volcanoes in Iceland because it was so cold up there, comes a column by "Environmental Author" Alan Weisman, warning us that Gaia is angry about our carbon spewage, and asking "Is the Earth striking back?"
Both Iceland and the United States exalt democracy as a social achievement worthy of lasting an eternity. Yet the latter's unprecedented strength has derived not just from enlightened government, but from the release of its own hot clouds: exhaust from its vast industries, fleets and mechanized agriculture.
...
As it does, a volcano awakens in Iceland (with another, larger and adjacent to still-erupting Eyjafjallajokull, threatening to detonate next). The Earth shudders in Haiti. Then Chile. Then western China. Mexicali-Calexico. The Solomon Islands. Spain. New Guinea. And those are just the big ones, 6+ on the Richter scale, and just in 2010. And it's only April.
To the moonbat left, the notion that promiscuous women cause earthquakes is worthy of ridicule, or would be if it weren't a Muslim making the case. But the idea that SUV's cause earthquakes is considered reasonable enough for CNN to put the idea on its website.
