I spent my lifetime in geotechnical, geological and geophysical events.

The kindest thing that I can say about Glover is that he should put his brain in gear before his mouth to avoid appearing as the dumbest moron on the planet

I read that he said that also. My god, how dumb can one person be. This is typical of those in the entertainment industry. Some of the stupidest people on this planet. They are so out of touch with reality in their make believe world. Yet the media actually will repeat what the say.

I'm sure that nobody has established a connection between global climate change and earthquakes. But, as seas rise, so also does pressure on the techtonic plates change. It is not entirely implausible that sudden incremental changes in sea levels could trigger earth quakes. Oil drilling has been associated with earth quakes. But for Glover to make such a claim is irresponsible at best and maybe a little inflammatory.

Good thing Florida has a raft of stand your ground laws, in homes, cars and on the street if they are going to imports rafts of Haitian children.

Dautriche, who was sitting on the ground because of her broken back, held out an empty blue plastic basin. "My underwear and my money were in there," she said, sobbing. "Children stole it right in front of me and I couldn't move."

I'm sure the children were just hungry and wanted the underwear to eat.

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.
