There are always earthquakes there and I'm inclined to believe that's the reason. But no article I read mentioned that as a cause. It was pretty compelling evidence about warming.

The topic: It seems these Earth Days and other gestures are done by people who already get it with regard to the environment. You'll never convince the polluters (individuals and businesses) to stop. You can force them, economically and otherwise, but turning everything off ,while a noble idea, may be just that.
