I had a humor thread a few days ago about a crazy Iranian mullah who said earthquakes were caused by sexual cavorting. I shouldn’t have laughed. CBS news reports here, with a completely straight face, that “Dr. Chalko” (apparently no relation to Groucho, Harpo, and Chico) of someplace in Australia (the report doesn’t say) says that earthquakes are 5 times as energetic as 20 years ago.
“NASA measurements from space confirm that Earth as a whole absorbs at least 0.85 Megawatt per square kilometer more energy from the Sun than it is able to radiate back to space. This ‘thermal imbalance’ means that heat generated in the planetary interior cannot escape and that the planetary interior must overheat. Increase in seismic, tectonic and volcanic activities is an unavoidable consequence of the observed thermal imbalance of the planet,” said Dr. Chalko.

“Unless the problem of global warming (the problem of persistent thermal imbalance of Earth) is addressed urgently and comprehensively – the rapid increase in global seismic, volcanic and tectonic activity is certain. Consequences of inaction can only be catastrophic. There is no time for half-measures.”
Wow. Just wow. I owe the Ayatollah an apology. His theory isn’t the craziest out there. Not by a long shot.
Allahu Ackbar. And keep your wimminfolk hidden, to keep the earthquakes from happening. Cuz they sure as hell ain’t being caused by an imbalance in the thermal whatever TF Chalko is talking about.
More on Chalko here. Yikes.
