All Quiet on the Blogosphere

I have come to notice that there is very meagre amount of attention on the internet to the field of climate change science surrounding its potential to increase the frequency of catastrophic events. It is somewhat surprising that despite #climatechange being amongst the top ten trending topics on twitter in 2011, I have struggled to find electronic awareness on the geological impact. Having said this, this realm of science remains in its infancy having been first pioneered only relatively recently. Out of the few mentions I found on twitter, below is an example of futurologists are beginning to introduce the concept:

Terminology such as 'isostatic rebound' are only just being incorporated into climate change discourse. Obviously, the science behind global warming causing more extreme weather conditions (hurricanes, droughts etc) is thoroughly tested and widely acknowledged. However surely when this idea was first proposed it took a while before it was understood and accepted? Whilst awareness appears to be lacking on geological impacts, already keen scientists are managing to provoke interest by means of twitter:

'Global Rumblings' is a compelling blogspot site which asks - '2012 - Will it change the world as we know it? Why so many earthquakes? Tornadoes? Disasters?' Its purpose is to provide commentary on the causes, impacts and patterns of contemporary disasters. The aptly titled blog focuses on earthquake activity however extends to all forms of worldwide disturbances ranging from supervolcano eruptions to fireballs in space. Global Rumblings appears to be the primary source for up to date hazard information in the blogosphere and one particular reason for its mention is for the post 'Earthquakes and Climate' which was posted in March 2011. This segment was written two years after the author first theorised about earthquakes and climate in an article published in 2009. Within the two years, a significant amount of work has been done (enough in fact to allow me to produce a blog solely dedicated to the research) that shows the field of science is growing. Given another two years I predict far more evidence will have been obtained and the topic's obscurity will be a thing of the past.
