I'm the thousands of earthquakes occurring in Oklahoma for no reason at all, certainly not fracking https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/byregion/oklahoma/OKeqanimation.php

 That's only current yearly deaths specifically talking about diseases caused by pollution. In our glorious future, we can easily surpass that   http://ar5-syr.ipcc.ch/topic_summary.php

While the Pacific Northwest is horrifyingly unprepared for an eventually inevitable high magnitude earthquake, the resulting tsunami is probably not going to be as apocalyptic as the article implies because the high pop Washington areas like Seattle are protected by Puget Sound and the high pop Oregon areas like Portland are too far inland. Also it doesn't really count as an ecological impact; the reason I put the earthquakes from Oklahoma up there is they're almost entirely caused by wastewater injection, a type of pollution, and it probably hasn't done great things to the regional water quality. Edit: I guess the relative lowering of a big chunk of coast into the sea will impact the forests and stuff so alright you get a pass just this one time okay Double edit: I want to emphasize that the author of that piece is a huge idiot as they unironically cite San Andreas, the movie, as an example of what might happen in a big earthquake. Also the pre-corrected article cited Portland as in the tsunami zone conveying the inability of the author to even glance at a map before metaphorically hitting submit on their dumb post Uranium Phoenix has issued a correction as of 02:24 on Jul 23, 2018 |
