7.0 Magnitude Earthquake Hit Greece and Turkey - Izmir becomes Atlantis

[WD-40]

Magnitude 7 Earthquake Off the Coast of Greece and Turkey

A magnitude 7 earthquake struck offshore of the city of Neon Karlovasion, Greece (north of Simos Island in the eastern Agean Sea) on October 30th, 2020 at 1:51 pm local time (11:51 UTC). Seismic instruments indicate the earthquake originated at a depth of 13 miles (21 kilometers).

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake has hit the Aegean Sea, causing damages in both Greece and Turkey. In Turkey, at least 12 people are dead and over 250 are injured. At least 20 buildings in the city of Izmir have collapsed and the city has been hit by a “mini-tsunami” and are still experiencing aftershocks. On the island of Samos, two people were killed by a falling wall, but the island has mostly been spared. They were also hit by the mini-tsunami.

Scientists love to talk about the warnings of climate change, but I’ve never seen any time being spent on how the world can prevent such disastrous earthquakes like this one.

I'm not sure you can prevent tectonic plate movement. At most, you can have early warning systems.

The tricks to use a planetcracker, helps release the pressure, and lets the planet know that we can fight back if it tries to yellowstone us one day.

That's what happens when you don't pay denbts, faggots.

The quake was off the Turkish coast. Greece is only mentioned because they've got islands nearby.

This time was just a warning.

Lol, this year has been like one of my SNES Sim City playthroughs where I'm constantly causing disasters intentionally.

Earthquakes will always happen just like the climate will always be changing. The best you can do is design structures to withstand earthquakes, or retrofit existing structures. Not building on land that is prone to liquefaction is another way to mitigate damage. The problem in places like Turkey and Greece is that most of the buildings are old and/or poorly constructed and they can't do much in the way of retrofitting.

As an aside, plate tectonics is my favorite rebuttal to the "settled science" line the I Fucking Love Science crowd likes to throw around. Plate tectonics was a whacko fringe theory for decades after it was first proposed. The "settled science" was that the continents were fixed in place, and those who supported plate tectonics were insulted and derided. It wasn't until the 1950s that the evidence mounted so strongly in favor of plate tectonics and the "settled science" switched places.

Even the Earth is trying to accelerate Greece and Turky into a Conflict.

Kind of like how in the early days of germ theory, supporters were distrusted and ostracized. Why? Because they told doctors to wash their hands, and at the time the Settled Science said that doctors always have clean hands, because they're doctors and can't be tainted by filth like a commoner.

This was less than 200 years ago.

I'm very much a proponent of rationalism, the scientific method, all that nerd shit. But to think that after tens of thousands of years of "science" being wrong over and over, year after year, that this time humanity definitely got everything right forever, you'd have to be a complete lunatic.

the vast majority of climate scientists can't actually publish anything decent about the climate because they either all buy into the weird cult of carbon emissions fucking the planet over, or are forced to buy into it because it's the only way they can get grant money for research.

if more people used CMIP6 instead of CMIP3 then all this bullshit about carbon emissions killing the planet would fade into oblivion and we'd actually be able to acknowledge the fact that 99.9999% of what happens to the planet's weather is outside of our control because it's all governed by what the sun decides to do that year-even the earthquakes, it's hard to explain why because it involves the interaction of the sun's CMEs and the earth's magnetic field-then just deal with it accordingly.

You probably could, but we don't know shit about the inside of the planet so we can barely even imagine what the hell we might do about it. Maybe some sort of controlled explosions to ease the tension on the tectonic plates? It would also work for volcanoes. But considering the depths we'd need to drill down to and the sheer amount of energy needed, it would probably be more efficient to move people to floating cities or space colonies or something. You'd probably fuck up the planet somehow too since volcanoes and subduction of tectonic plates is essential to all sorts of biogeochemical processes.

Causing earthquakes is easy though, just do a lot of fracking or build a big-ass dam and reservoir and you'll make lots of smallish earthquakes.

Only twelve people?

Try harder, Earth!

Take it away, DAF.

Good thing that New Izmir is already in the former GDR.

At least the victims were wearing masks, right?

I thought masks made you indestructable or something....
