Factors increasing global warming are affecting the underlying structure of the planet, which could generate a series of "extreme geological events," comparable to the devastating earthquake that rocked Nepal, as stated by the professor of geophysics and climate risks, Bill McGuire.
The expert also said that the earthquake in Nepal is attributable to pressure on the tectonic plates that form the surface of the Earth, caused in turn by the ebb and flow of rainwater flow in large river deltas of India and Bangladesh .
Besides the reduction of ice and sea level rise, flooding planned for the XXI century are inevitable, said Bill McGuire, professor at University College London. "Climate change can it play a key role in the activation of certain flaws that could cause the death of a large number of people," he added.
Some time ago, McGuire had warned that "when the ice is lost, the earth's crust bounces and that triggers earthquakes that trigger underwater landslides earth, which in turn cause tsunamis." This process "not only affects the atmosphere and oceans but also the crust [...] Most of the political community is completely uninformed about the geological aspects of climate change," he lamented.
