Obviously man-made global warming has reached the bottom of the oceans.

Why not, Debbie Stabenow says she feels global warming when she flies.

I knew there was something weird going on in that area with all the earthquake activity over the past couple decades.

Obviously this is caused by global warming. Heat expands and as the world heats, the crust is expanding and cracking. It may also be due to over-population of the West. As the population in the Western Hemisphere grows, it is increasing the weight on that hemisphere pulling it away from the Eastern Hemisphere, causing more cracks. Also, don’t discount how much this is Bush’s fault. Bush’s big oil buddies keep drilling into the crust of Mother Gaia, causing weak points that create cracks.

I forgot to include that this also has to be blamed on the Mohammed Video. Allah (piss be upon him) is punishing the Earth because someone made a video about the prophet Mohammed.

Those occurred along a very old fault line. About 600 million years old. It's categorized as a "failed rift".

[...and still counting until 2014]

"this trend needs to be understood in relation to the increase in seismographs. Certainly, in the last 25 years, more lower intensity earthquakes have been noticed because of a general increase in the number of seismograph stations across the world and improved global communications. This increase has helped seismological centres to locate many small earthquakes which were undetected in earlier decades. Therefore, an upward trend is not unexpected in the graph, although the rise in the number of large earthquakes will be of more significance to our assessment of the trend.

By limiting the range of earthquakes being counted in this report to magnitude 7 or above, it means these earthquakes can easily be identified by a limited number of seismographs, and we have ensured that any increase in frequency for these larger earthquakes cannot be down to the increase in overall detection rates in this 25-year period, as all these larger earthquakes are able to be easily detected with fewer seismograph stations."
