A new study shows a correspondence between the melting of ice sheets 10,000 years ago and massive earthquakes that took place nearby. Andrea Hampel of Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, led the study and stated that earthquakes are “suppressed in the presence of the ice and promoted during the melting of the ice.” With the acceleration of glacial melt in recent years, the researchers say that global warming may be the cause of increased earthquakes in places such as Alaska. Our sincere gratitude, German researchers, for revealing yet more evidence that climate change has monumental consequences for our planet and her inhabitants. With God's grace, may the world’s citizens take immediate action to curb the effects of climate change.
