An Ground Shaking Observation

Just a thought running through my mind lately given the recent tragedies in South-East Asia. There's one thing that particularly worries me though. You'd be surprised at how many people think tsunamis are caused by anthropogenic global warming. I've run into this misconception a few times now. I find that it's most often "educated" people that hold this belief. Tsunamis are the result of undersea earth quakes. Earth quakes are caused by activity deep under the Earth's crust, far out of reach of the influence of man and the atmosphere. All planets with a molten core are subject to quakes.

Anyway, if you want to donate to disaster relief in Asia, you can go to the Red Cross Website.
