    Do your quakes even lift?

    Unfortunately our quakes are fiery and passionate instead

    Nuclear winter though? Nah. But it would absolutely impact the local weather.

    I think Thelin needed to slow down and clarify a bit more. And Seiko Sora needs to stop being so condecending and intentionally riling him up.

    Here's just a climate effect and yes it can have a global impact. Yes those are based on a nuclear war scenario but even one weapon going off can be still have global consequences. Not to mention political consequences, I think its safe to assume with our charged political climate and all the conflict going on that lets say a nuclear bomb went off in the middle east. You'd have India and Pakistan chomping at the bit to let loose. You'd then probably have Israel say fuck it and so forth.

    What are the effects on climate?

    Massive absorption of warming sunlight by a global smoke layer would cause Ice Age temperatures on Earth. NASA computer models predict 40% of the smoke would stay in the stratosphere for 10 years. There the smoke would also destroy much of the protective ozone layer and allow dangerous amounts of UV light to reach the Earth's surface.
    Consecutive posts. At this point they're still talking about one nuclear weapon. The second post is literally a response to the question "Such as?" in response to the effects of one bomb.

    I'm betting sora would be a lot less condescending if thelin hadn't been in the first place:

    Though maybe not, considering sora's history.

    Edit: changed "though may not" to after quote for clarity.

    At least the vulcanos aren't exploding. Though quakes of this magnitude can be a precursor to vulcanic activity.

    Can we just move on already? Beating this dead horse to a pulp at this point.

    With a bit of luck we can get Naples covered up.

    I have family in Italy but luckily this was not close enough to them for any danger.

    UPDATE:

    After reading some comments posted on this thread, it seems that there is a common answer to the questions I asked and the answer is: NO. Thank you for replying and sharing what you know. I'm a little less ignorant (as of today).
    A guy called Dutchsinse, who is being debunked for years by the science community made a forecast two days ago for the Italy and Myanmar earthquakes who happened today, he makes forecasts and they happen like he says, or hes he a complete hoax or hes really know whats he talking about, this forecasts can save lives and the science community don't give a shit:

    Italy forecast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bSo...utu.be&t=38m8s
    Myanmar forecast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3bSo...tu.be&t=36m40s

    EMSC report on Italy: http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/....php?id=525580
    EMSC report on Myanmar: http://www.emsc-csem.org/Earthquake/....php?id=525828

    Hes webpage: http://dutchsinse.com/

    In 2009 Italy was struck by a earthquake near fracking operations, the Italy government arrested seismologists for false information's in 2012, because fracking operations can affect the earth below and cause seismic events, something that is being debunked because of certain agendas as some people and himself firmly believes, check is page and hes youtube channel and watch hes forecasts:

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...ific-community
    Hes video about the incident back from 2012: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7KNN8qYjDA

    If you live close to fracking operations you should to pay attention to this, this is just an extra presented tot he situation that happened today, not directly linked, but just to add.

    Now, you can take all of this with a grain of salt, bu you can't deny the forecasts, peoples lives could be saved today, that's all that matters, at least for me, im sure there's more people out there who believes in forecasting, but are being dismissed, for reasons that i can only speculate of course.

    The point still remains a single nuclear weapon going off as geo-political/environmental impacts that are felt far outside of where the bomb goes off.

    Here you go, sources by FEMA!

    Sigh, I'm not going on a fact finding mission to keep debating this with you. If you honestly don't think a nuclear bomb going off has a larger impact than just where it goes off, you're naive.

    Yup. Hell Hawaii is one giant volcano lol.

    Hawaii? Pff. Hawaii isn't shit. It's a normal volcanic island chain. No, no, Supervolcanoes are on a different scale.

    It was more of a joke. I'm well aware yellowstone, mt st hellens, etc are totally different class.

    Fracking is causing a multitude of issues here in the states, many areas now have mini tremors on a daily basis that never had such activity before. Not to mention water contamination due to brine that comes up and all the other undisclosed chemicals that are deemed ''proprietary"

    http://www.cnn.com/2015/05/09/us/tex...cking-studies/

    Gasland was actually a pretty damn good documentary on this. The one part particularly interesting part was the court hearing where they tried to get the people to drink the water (which they said was totally fine) but they wouldn't.

    http://www.hbo.com/documentaries/gasland

    The images included (guy lighting is faucet on fire) due to the gases is very telling.

    The fact this is pretty much unavoidable since we can't destroy all the historical buildings and rebuild. I'm lucky since I live in one of the places with very little risk of earthquake.

    So long as they live to enjoy these benefits, good.

    Over 250 dead. This could be worst than our last earthquake.

    They found a 10 years old girl alive. She was still hugging her 16 years old sister that died while protecting her.

    Almost all habitable and farmable land is in a seismically active or potentially seismically active zone or close enough to a volcano or a caldera to eventually be a problem.

    On MMO-C we learn that Anti-Fascism is locking arms with corporations, the State Department and agreeing with the CIA, But opposing the CIA and corporate America, and thinking Jews have a right to buy land and can expect tenants to pay rent THAT is ultra-Fash Nazism.
