Earthquakes are one thing, hurricanes (and the global climate that drives them) is another thing altogether. One is beyond the control of humans, and one we exert influence over through our input of greenhouse gases into the climate system. Slow down or halt our input, and our influence over hurricanes for good or ill will stop.

Sorry Marius, but there have been earthquakes AND hurricanes since the beginning of time. There is absolutely no evidence that we have "caused" any change in that activity whatsoever. Remember when 2006 was supposed to be a record year for hurricanes- so the envirowackos warned? Not one major hurricane in 2006. The hurricane that hit Galveston about 100 years ago was the worst on record...was it because of so-called green house gases to?
