I believe that Climate Change triggers Earthquakes. A reading from NewScientist reveals and I quote that "(e)vidence of a link between climate and the rumblings of the crust has been around for years, but only now is it becoming clear just how sensitive rock can be to the air, ice and water above."

Climate Change triggers Earthquakes. While we all witnessed the devastating effect of Earthquake, tsunami in Japan, I am looking for sources to answer the question "Can CLIMATE CHANGE triggers earthquake? From my preliminary reading sessions, I found out that it is in the affirmative, and I quote, "With Earth's glaciers and ice gaps melting at increasing rates due to climate change, it is conceivable that we could see further impact from "isostatic rebound" in the Earth's crust. The pressure of the ice sheet suppresses earthquakes, so removing that load triggers them." I will further read.

"Lift up your eyes to the heavens, look at the earth beneath; the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear but like a garment and its inhabitants die like flies. But my salvation will last forever, my righteousness will never fail." Isaiah 51:6 (NIV)
