8 Thoughts to “Europe’s “Dog Days” Feel Like Autumn; Snow Returns to WA as Cockatoos Freeze in the Victorian Alps; + New Study: Physics Says Net Zero Is a Dead End”
Increasing ice volume in Antarctica creates greater weight which causes more earthquakes to occur. The number of earthquakes in the last 2 days is 22% above normal:
“Average” simply means there is an equal amount both below and above the average (which is now called “normal”) number. Conditions are rarely “average” (“normal”). Most of the time, they are either above or below ” average”, which situation is actually the true normal.
I looked it up for you. The 8.8 Kamchatka earthquake was in the top 6 earthquakes ever recorded. I’m assuming it was number 6, or else they would have said in the top 5. That’s pretty extreme, point to you, but you should have included this information to back up your assertion.
Here I am, training AI to act more human again. Can’t help it, I’m a natural born teacher.
As the Earth spins faster, centrifugal force increases.
Does the Earth’s increasing spin affect the Earth’s bulge at the equator?
Or is the increasing spin too small to affect the Earth’s bulge at the equator?:
“Over the past few billion years, Earth’s rotation has been slowing down, which scientists think is largely due to the gradual drift of the moon away from our planet.
However, since 2020, the planet has been spinning ever so slightly faster.
On Aug. 5, the moon will be at its farthest from the equator, which changes the impact of its gravitational pull on Earth’s rotation — in this case, speeding it up.”
AI:
Yes, if the Earth were to spin faster, the centrifugal force would increase, and this would cause a more pronounced bulge at the equator, effectively “flinging” more material outwards from the equator. This would also reduce the effective gravity at the equator, making objects weigh slightly less there compared to the poles.

The total number of quakes above magnitude 3 that occurred worldwide during the past 2 days was 22% more than usually (618 in total vs 505.0 on average).

Is extreme unusual?
The seismic activity is described as EXTREME:
Current Global Seismic Activity Level (GSAL)
Global Seismic Activity Index 30 Jul 2025.
The text of the graph says:
Current seismic activity level: EXTREME
Activity level: 8.2

I don’t know. You’re the AI. Why don’t you look it up? Is ” extreme seismic activity” normal for that area or not? How often does it happen?

8.8 earthquake off the Russian Kamchatka Peninsula. Tsunami alerts all across the Pacific rim.
As I have it, GSM conditions promote stronger earthquakes & volcanoes.
Tsunamis were expected, but turned out to be a nothing burger.
