In southern california we had a name for when it rained ~1" and then got really hot afterward - "Earthquake weather". I've asked various times and even asked LLMs if there might be some truth in the idea, but everyone assures me, same as you, that no, water doesn't affect plate movement at all. try googling/whatever the term to correct any misinformation i gave, here. eta: I see negative points for defining a term i…
There is research that does show precipitation events might influence earthquake activity: https://news.mit.edu/2024/study-heavy-snowfall-rain-may-cont... https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/200...
i'll read those in a bit, but my theory was:
IF it rains a lot somewhere like a desert, the ground will absorb a lot of water, filling voids, washing areas out, including underground. If it then gets really hot and dry (you know, like a desert), suddenly that mud shrinks, the voids become larger, there's less friction. For sure, an earthquake didn't happen every time (or really any time in my memory) there was "earthquake" weather, but i'm guessing prior to the mid 80s it happened a few times and that's where the term started being spread.
What i don't like is instant ridicule for wondering if there might be something to it. It's not like the phrase "the devil beating his wife with a frying pan" as a synonym for a specific type of weather, even!

In my 'parallel world', it does seem like the mainstream media publishes articles every week or so (for the last decade or so) about how we are at the point of no return for climate change. And all of it is preserved in this wonderful searchable web of articles that ensures one does not have to speculate about what was published. Maybe search on the web, who knows, it could turn out that you too live in the same worl…
I'm sorry but no they really don't. As an example, there's been some pretty deadly heatwave feuled by climate changed recently for example both in Sub-Saharan africa and south east asia and I'm sure nobody is really aware of it. Turns out the "alarmist" as you call them were right all along and the current events are following pretty much the worst case scenarios.
You first say that alarmists don't exist, but then also they were right all along?

I'm just quoting your comment about the so-called alarmist mainstream news which is just nonsense, that's what doesn't exist.
