The earth has been shaking like a 5 year old kid with a brand new snow globe. Sadly, the snow just doesn’t float around and everything is okay. The Earth is being served like a James Bond Martini… “Shaken, not Stirred.”

Back in January the country of Haiti was shook to it’s core and its country destroyed, after being hit with a 7.0 earthquake. It was less then 10 miles from Port-au-Prince. The depth of the crater left at the epicenter was about 8 miles deep.

Then in February, Chile then was rocked by an earthquake measuring 8.8 in magnitude. This earthquake was 900 times more powerful than the one in Haiti a month earlier. It shook the world so hard it changed the world’s axis. The crater left at the epicenter of this quake is 27 miles. luckily it was 70 miles away from Chile’s second largest city, but the destruction was still immense.

Now in March, Taiwan was hit with a 6.4 earthquake. Damage to buildings and bridges were present. Residents in Taipei say that they were able to feel the quake over 155 miles away.

So has the magnitude of the earthquakes increased due to global climate changes? Could the sudden changes in the “green” energy movement, be behind the dramatic increase in magnitude levels? We will leave the answers to the kids at M.I.T, when they’re done partying on Spring Break.
