I think this is the beginnings of an economy based on perpetual growth and fossil fuel energy running headlong into geological energy constraints. Basically I see an undulatory downward path for the rest of my life. From here out, I think any rallies in our economic condition are going to be met with spiking commodity prices that knock us right back down.

1.does melting ice = major earthquakes? and could we expect more upheavals around the globe as the glaciers disappear?
2. Whilst observing the bbc global weather map I have noticed that there are vast parts of africa, asia, North/central america and the whole of asia that have been suffering extremely heavy rain for some weeks; a normal event?

1) No clue but would be very interesting.
2) Over a one or two year period, it's not possible to predict, over a decade you can start making judgements on whether the patterns are changing. _________________ When somebody makes a statement you don't understand, don't tell him he's crazy.

Climatologists have been raising alarms about global warming for years, and now geologists are getting into the act, warning that melting glaciers will lead to an increasing number of earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic eruptions in unexpected places.
