The thing is, it's not the biggest earthquake in the past we have to worry about, it's the biggest one in the future.

And climate change can have very sudden and unpredictable results too as we've seen all over the world in recent years.

Europe just isn't a particularly seismically active and then only it's mostly southern Europe.

The article is about nuclear plants in Italy.

Do you have any evidence to indicate that earthquakes could increase due to climate or is this just FUD.

The poster isn't saying they are related. The poster is listing two separate things.

No I didn't say that but extreme weather as a result of climate change is another major risk factor.

Look at what happened here in Spain in Valencia only a few months ago. Unprecedented in the region's recorded history. Yet it keeps happening more and more.

But I can see how the way I worded it suggests I meant that yes. I should have been clearer. What I did mean to say is that recorded history is like a microsecond in geological time and I wouldn't put too much confidence in predicting based on that short period.

But they are two different risks. Over exacerbated by climate change, the other indeed not.
