    Surprise-surprise. What do you know, that's a rare event for the East Coast of America.
    Stay safe everyone.

    Climate change? I've often wondered about that. Everything seems to be connected.

    https://science.nasa.gov/earth/clim...ect-earthquakes-or-are-the-connections-shaky/

    “We’ve seen that relatively small stress changes due to climate-like forcings can effect microseismicity,” he said. “A lot of small fractures in Earth’s crust are unstable. We see also that tides can cause faint Earth tremors known as microseisms. But the real problem is taking our knowledge of microseismicity and scaling it up to apply it to a big quake, or a quake of any size that people could feel, really.” Climate-related stress changes might or might not promote an earthquake to occur, but we have no way of knowing by how much.

    Next they will scare us with forest fires are worse due to global warming and won't tell us that forest fires burned unnoticed for thousands of years because people didn't build there.

    Here in the Mountain West, we know about wildfires. They are part of the everyday lives of ALL who live here. And yes, we are dealing with more intense wildfires than ever. Unlike the US East Coast and the Southeast, where temperatures haven't risen as much. Climate change has extended the wildfire season to be longer; and the hotter, dryer temperatures have made the wildfires more intense and harder to extinguish.

    • Some parts of the United States have experienced more warming than others (see Figure 3). The North, the West, and Alaska have seen temperatures increase the most, while some parts of the Southeast have experienced little change.

    An article from the EPA? Really? Do you know where they get those temperatures from? The city!

    I would urge you to consult the NOAA website, where they talk about the methods used for "Global Average Temperatures". Your statement is inaccurate.
