Back again? So; now you can use the North Atlantic weather charts to
predict a "major" earthquake, W.
In W-speak, 2 points. Firstly, the weather charts are not "varying
remarkably", they are pretty well set that we will have low pressure
dominance in 8-10 days time. You don't follow those charts closely
enough and you know little about them, so it's not surprising you
don't know that. That's got nothing to do with the actual outcome,
it's just what they've shown for about 36 hours - consistency.
(However, please don't use your lack of knowledge as an escape route,
at the end of next week, if a "major" earthquake hasn't happened. Your
statement clearly states that they ARE "varying remarkably", at
present.)
Secondly; the North Atlantic occupies only about 10% of the Earth's
surface area; much less if you don't include the tropical areas. Why
should that partiicular area be so important?
Thirdly; no location, no area, no intensity in this forecast of a
"major" earthquake, as usual. I'll be generous and give you a full
week, even though you say that people "have a few days" to prepare,
but I'll expect an earthquake of 7.5+ to qualify for "major". The
earthquake can occur anywhere in the world.
Fourthly; if this link is strong, why couldn't you predict Sichuan?
And why habve you missed every other large earthquake and volcanic
eruption of this year?
I'll judge it at outcome and pass comment on how scientific your
statement was then. Good luck.
