    The Earth is a rotating ball that is not completely solid and can bulge. Global warming is causing the greenland ice pack to melt and the Earth is losing a lot of mass (weight) in the area of greenland. On the opposite side of the Earth from Greenland is the Australian plate. The 2004 Tsunami was caused by the Indian plate moving under the Australian plate or the (burma microplate region).
    The Earth being a rotating ball, the lessening of the weight at greenland, as it melts, is causing the Australian plate region to bulge with centrifugal force, because it is no longer counterbalanced by greenland. This is lifting up the Australian plate allowing the Indian plate to move under it faster. Thus causing the earthquake and tsunami. Another major quake happened in the region since then. I believe this region and the whole Indian plate rim will continue to be an increasingly active earthquake region as greenland continues to melt with global warming.
    Earth quakes generally happen within a short while after eclipses of the sun or moon. So, if a total eclipse passes over the region of the Indian plate or Australian plate, look for a major earthquake within about 2 months after that.

    This is within natural variation of the climate, if not global warming.

    Global warming heats the ocean surfaces, for more evaporation off them, for more cloud-cover, for more precipitation, a cooling effect.

    Yeah, yeah, yeah. So are tidal waves. That was my point.

    Then what's happening on the other side of the earth from East Antartica, which is actually getting colder, and whose glaciers are getting bigger?

    don't be too alarmed, ANY change in climate nowadays is caused by global warming. This winter is warmer because of global warming! Now this winder is COLDER because of global warming! Global warming melted this, global warming cooled that, how perfectly convinient that ANY insignificant or massive change somehow supports global warming...

    This is one of the reasons that I'm a bit suspect.

    by the way, BTM, towlie kicks ass

    The cooling that's going on in Antartica is predicted by a theory of climate change driven by solar activity. If this theory is correct, and recent evidence suggests it is, CO2 has almost nothing to do with it. See my thread under earth science on this topic.
