the Canadian shield “a special, stable and cool area of rock” as their statistical baseline for the effect of removing heat from under the continent. The slab under Seattle, however, is colder than the Canadian shield...

Al Gore was right! There is global warming, but it the inside of the globe that is warm, not the outside.

Somebody better tell the geo-thermal heat advocates.Indeed, we must keep the heat in the earth or the coastlines will radically change over the next 10,000,000,000 years. Geothermal energy is now out!
By the way, thorium is radioactive. Shouldn't we be funding massive efforts to clean up all the radioactive thorium in the earth to prevent radioactive pollution? And the uranium, too? What happens if a terrorist get ahold of some radioactive potassium from the center of the earth and makes a dirty bomb with it? Serious questions need answers now! We can't take a chance on being wrong on this!
