A. An earthquake prediction is a prediction that an earthquake in a specific magnitude range will occur in a specific region and time window. Seismologists bring forth seismic hazard assessment programs by estimating the probabilities that a given earthquake or suite of earthquakes will occur. That is not a true earthquake predication. Earthquake predications are not accepted by seismologists. Earthquake prediction is controversial because data are sparse and there is little evidence or verified physical theory to link observable phenomena to subsequent seismicity. It is virtually inevitable that some will succeed by chance. Assessing whether a successful prediction is a fluke is challenging. Earthquake pre detection is more reliable than… [cont.]

A. Obviously with all those agencies and no results we taxpayers are not getting our monies worth out of any of them. You would think with that many Federal Agencies someone in them would have had a chemical spill disaster program to resort to.

Isn't it time we had a roll call vote on ANWR?
Q. After Clinton vetoed a bill allowing us to drill in ANWR in 1995, the debate has continued. Republicans constantly being stopped by the Democrats, who are beholden to the liberals and Green lobby. Only 2,000 acres of the 10-02 Area are to be used for the permanent infrastructure -- the pipelines, oil wells, etc. The10-02 Area is neither a refuge nor wilderness and definitely not scenic despite constant claims to the contrary by the Green Lobby. The United States Geological Survey has estimated ANWR holds a mean estimate of 10.4 billion barrels of recoverable oil. This would be the equivalent of a "Prudhoe Bay II." Within a few years, an additional million barrels a day could be flowing to West Coast refineries. And if President Clinton… [cont.]

A. Of course we need a roll-call vote on ANWR. Any senator who votes against ANWR may claim to care what you're paying for gasoline, but doesn't actually care and has his or her head in the sand. The superpowers of the 21st century will be the ones who provide for their own needs at or near energy independence. America needs a plan so that we can stop being beholden to the likes of Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for our fuel needs. We need to open drilling in ANWR; in currently banned offshore areas on both the Atlantic and the Pacific Coasts; AND the Eastern Gulf of Mexico. We need to explore drilling in other onshore areas of the U.S., most notably in the highly promising Bakken Formation in North Dakota and Montana. AND we need to… [cont.]

Least seismically active areas of the United States?
Q. I realize that "active" might be a subjective term when dealing with seismic activity, since Illinois had its strongest earthquake in 40 years two weeks ago, with not much noticeable activity in the area in a long time, but I got to wondering, over the past 50-100 years, what has been the least seismically active areas of the U.S.? I notice from this map from the U.S. Geological Survey that the Aleutian Islands almost never STOP showing seismic activity: As a personal aside, I thought going through the 5.2 was pretty cool. I was having my morning coffee when it hit, and it really woke me up...the earthquake, not the coffee. :-)

A. Yep, it is interesting, isn't it! We had one of similar magnitude here in the UK a couple of months back. I was at my computer, and I had to hold the monitor, which threatened to jump right off it's base! Afraid I'm unable to answer your question, but I'm sure the answer is available from the USGS site.

After examining a variety of potential causes, the study concludes: "Regional warming and consequent increases in water deficits are likely contributors to the increases in tree mortality rates." the finger seems to be pointed to warming. says Breshears [U of Arizona ecologist].… [cont.]

A. I've seen the devastation in Montana, entire forests of brown. Locals blame "environmentalists" for not letting them log enough... during the Bush administration (now that's a laugh!), leaving the trees too dense and susceptible to beetles. This report exposes that assumption as overly simplistic nonsense. The actual causes? The report spells it out clearly: - Reduced snowpack = drought - Earlier snowpack runoff, lengthening summer drought - Warmer temperatures = greater evaporative loss It's funny to see people attack you for pointing out a peer-reviewed paper published in Science, or for referencing the opinion of the U.S. Geological Survey and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
