Russian scientists developed an algorithm, which describes formation of earthquakes and predicts them.
      
      Russian seismologists predict a huge earthquake to happen before 2018. The epicentre has five possible locations: on the western border between the USA and Canada, Chili, Kashmir, Sumatra and the Indian ocean near the Andaman Islands.
      
      Russian seismologists found that most powerful earthquakes had clear repeating pattern with power peaking in the end of the cycle. You can read more about Russian discovery in the “New Scientist” magazine.

John Berbatis :
In the past ten years there has been an exponential melting of the ice sheets and a noticeable disintegration of the ice shelves, owing to 'global warming'. The loss of mass from the underlying Tectonics Plates causes them to ascend (iso-static rebound), and this results in an increase in the intensification and frequency of global seismological activity. The seismic data of the past ten years confirm this conjecture. Furthermore, the ice shelves impede the flow of glaciers and ice sheets into to the oceans; and when the 'polar regions' are subjected to unprecedented seismic upheavals, these events will then cause the ice sheets and glaciers to be dislodged en masse into the ocean!

Well since we found out last week that the Ice shelves breaking off in Al Gores movie had been faked, It doen't give much credibility to Global warming. That and the great winter we have all enjoyed...
