TERRAFORMING TERRA
We discuss and comment on the role agriculture will play in the containment of the CO2 problem and address protocols for terraforming the planet Earth.
A model farm template is imagined as the central methodology. A broad range of timely science news and other topics of interest are commented on.

Earthquakes Swarming ?
There has been a broad global increase in Volcanic awakening or at least that appears to be so. Our core problem is that we lack the necessary five thousand year time line or anything that approaches a reasonable proxy.
Yet we also know that in terms of longer geological time lines that eras of volcanism do occur. So yes an anomalous period does need to be noted. Yet it may means as little I expect activity at Yellowstone to mean.
All this movement though could well allow earthquakes to surprise us so we need to refresh ourselves. The central USA is particularly noisy.
5/08/2015 — Dormant Supervolcano in California shows movement below — sign of California pressure
Most recently, now we see earthquake movement directly at Mono Lake
Supervolcano, which is located in Central Eastern California, along the
Nevada border.
________
Information on this event at Mono Lake from the USGS:
If this movement at Mono Lake, CA was on its own, then we might say
it was just “chance” or “coincidence”….. or maybe we might incorrectly
think it was just “normal” small seismic activity which one might see at
a time of global seismic unrest elsewhere.
But if you knew about the OTHER dormant volcanoes which showed
movement this past week, then you might reconsider your definition of
“normal”, and thus reconsider what we might be observing take place
along the West Coast.
9 out of the 10 past most recent earthquakes on the West coast were DIRECTLY at volcanic locations.
Recent examples below.
2.9M earthquake near Lassen Volcanic Center, May 7 2015:
Information on the Lassen Volcanic Center 2.9 (3.1M revised) earthquake from the USGS:
3.8M earthquake in Baja Mexico Gulf of California at dormant volcanic butte, May 6 2015: Information on this 3.8M earthquake at an unnamed dormant volcanic butte in Baja Mexico from the USGS:
One lone earthquake out of the last 10 earthquakes (over the past 2
days) has struck in a NON-volcanic location, but does fall along an area
which is known to be erupting right now. A 2.7M earthquake along the Gorda Escarpment, May 6 2015: Information on this 2.7M earthquake along the Gorda escarpment from the USGS:
Hawthorne Lake Nevada: Hawthorne Lake, NV dormant volcano 3.5M earthquake seen in this video here — from May 3, 2015: Information on the Hawthorne Lake, Nevada 3.5M earthquake from the USGS:
