But for Glover to make such a claim is irresponsible at best and maybe a little inflammatory.

Now you're suggesting it is possible? Not worth my time.

It is conceivable, but not worth anyone's time who isn't curious about it. If earthquakes were predictable based on surveys of geological observation, it might be a concern that our data was being altered by changing sea levels. Since no such predictability exists, claims between a cause and effect are pointless and more than a little hysterical.
