- Boy, the Global Warming decievers and deniers are going to be all over this. No more plate tectonics-no more earthquakes! Disasters like the China quake will be a thing of the past. They'll probably neglect to mention that the odds of this happening in your backyard will shoot way up:

- HOT CLIMATE COULD SHUT DOWN PLATE TECTONICS. Thanks 'geojim56'. ScienceDaily (May 13, 2008) -- A new study of possible links between climate and geophysics on Earth and similar planets finds that prolonged heating of the atmosphere can shut down plate tectonics and cause a planet's crust to become locked in place.

- From the page: "A new study of possible links between climate and geophysics on Earth and similar planets finds that prolonged heating of the atmosphere can shut down plate tectonics and cause a planet's crust to become locked in place." 'The heat required goes far beyond anything we expect from human-induced climate change, but things like volcanic activity and changes in the sun's luminosity could lead to this level of heating,' said lead author Adrian Lenardic, associate professor of Earth science at Rice University. 'Our goal was to establish an upper limit of naturally generated climate variation beyond which the entire solid planet would respond.' "
