This is the "complementary" article to one referenced earlier this evening:

Earthquakes Became Five Times More Energetic Due to Global Warming

I'm afraid this quack has been exposed to too many moonbeams!

[Rebelbase]

This does it. Gonna sell everything tomorrow and go to Vegas for one last blowout before the blowout.

[utherdoul]

well time to cash in my bonds, get a few russian hookers, some booze and live it up until the earth explodes.

[wastedyears]

I’m more worried about a large rock or gamma ray blast decimating life than I am about global warming.

[TheWasteLand]

Makes Time Cube sound credible.

[svcw]

I am soooo scared knowing that in 75 years I will be dead from this and my grandchildren will be close to death. What are we going to do?

[Congressman Billybob]

Well, now, let's see what we have here. This clown says that the Earth might blow up if the surface warms up a bit. Between 1,000 and 1,300 the Earth was warmer than it is today. Evidence: Greenland was then a crop-growing area then, which supported Viking farmers.

And, the Earth's core was warmer then, than it is today, since the Earth as a whole is expelling heat from its core to its surface. So, if you know a little geological history, you know that this Ph.D. is lying through his teeth.

Glad I could be of help.

Have we officially reached the apex of stupidity here? There’s no where to go but on a downward slope of that jumped shark.

[Malsua]

Arguments about the cause of the “overheating of the core” aside...who cares. If the core overheats, we’re all done. In other words, big whoop, we’re done!

I'm shaking in my boots. Where do these people come from?

From the other article:

Dr Tom J. Chalko lives in Mt Best, Victoria, Australia. He holds PhD in laser holography since 1979 and MEngSc in engineering since 1975. From 1982 to 2001 he was an academic at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He enjoys a good health, that he has restored himself in 1994 from quite a miserable state. He plays classical guitar exceptionally well, enjoys windsurfing (he calls himself a speed addict here), takes time to practice meditation, telepathy and astral travel. His hobbies include challenging paradigms and paradoxes in geophysics, studying puzzling properties of electro-photonic glow (Auras) using Kirlian camera, learning to see human aura, discovering purpose of life, as well as organizing controversial seminars.

[Hang'emAll]

I hope the earth does explode, because I don’t have a retirement plan and it will suite me just fine.

[MileHi]

No second chance? Can Earth explode as a result of Global Warming?

Um, NO?

[Migraine]

At first, I was concerned. I thought NU on the website signified Northwestern Univ. When I saw that it was New Ulm, I knew this was just another numbnuts new ager.

[Redcloak]

Since the Earth has been much hotter in its past than it is now, and it didn’t go kablooie then, I doubt that it will go kablooie now. I do not doubt, however, that Mr. Tom Chalko needs to be in a rubber room with half of his bloodstream replaced by pharmaceuticals.

[Secret Agent Man]

If it would finally shut up the idiotic global warming morons, I would start praying for it to occur.

These people don’t even read the Bible. Ummm, the world doesn’t get destroyed. Things are destroyed on it, and things die, but the earth does not pass away. Revelation.

It's happened before to another civilization.



They sent the only son of the planet's leading scientific couple to a backward world where his special abilities would give him an advantage growing up among barbaric cultures. Seems to have worked out okay over the years......

[willgolfforfood]

Very scary.

Of course, the writer neglected to mention that our neighbor planet, Venus, has endured REAL runaway global warming caused by an example of REAL greenhouse effect. Whereas the average global temperature on the earth is 13 Deg. C (per the article), on Venus its probably closer to 600 Deg C for the average temperature. And it's been the hot for billions of years - Velokofsky not withstanding.

But this guy seems worried that the temperature of the earth might increase by maybe 1 or 2 degree centigrade - in 100 years - what most of the global warming panic stricken twits are worried about. Still somewhat less than 600 Deg. C, we could all agree.

The writer also neglected to mention that Venus somehow has never managed to blow up in all those billions of years, either.

I guess we're not scaring children enough anymore, predicting one Deg. Celsius of temp rise. So let's just up the ante slightly to blowing up the planet.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

AlGore can explode due to global warming!

[Telepathic Intruder]

Complete bunk. Venus, our next door neighbor and closest planet in size to the earth (almost identical) has an atmosphere 90 times ours and almost totally comprised of co2. Its temperature is 900 degrees Fahrenheit (day and night). If it hasn’t exploded, we sure won’t either.
