Melting Ice-Caps Should Create World-Wide Earthquakes-
I am not a scientist with the necessary degrees and specialties in orbital mechanics, environmental modeling, and plate tectonics.
This has been mention slightly under google:
Isostatic adjustment-adjustment of earth after glaciers leave
-or-
Isostasy –wikipedia-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IsostasyThis bears repeating now - this awful tragedy illustrating what earthquakes can mean.
Not just the rate of melt but the rate of increasing melt is huge. Even if all those melting ice-cubes don't disrupt our weather, it seems apparent that releasing hundreds of thousands of square miles of ice, a mile or more thick from the poles will shift a large part of that weight much more towards our equator.
If that won't cause shifting stresses on our tectonic plates floating on the molten core of our planet, I don't know what will.
Problem > Solution
1. Tax toxic chemicals, zero all other taxes.
2. Restore and expand wetlands, drainage, bottom-land, marshes,
swamps world-wide.
