Natural disasters like these are environmental processes that have been going on for billions of years. There is nothing human beings can do to induce earthquakes, volcanic eruptions or tsunamis. Even tornadoes and hurricanes are caused by natural mechanisms (although there is some evidence that global warming is increasing the tendency for more severe weather.)
In any event, earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis are a result of platetechtonics, which has been at work long before human beings arrived on the scene. It's not god, it's not pollution, it's not sin, and it's not Satan. It's good old mother earth shaking her continental plates.
Get it?

It is claimed in the bible that earthquakes will increase, and they have,
in the past 50 year cycle, earthquake detections across the globe have increased EXPONENTIALLY, every year there is more tremors than the prior year and so on,
This backs us the principal of the second law of Thermodynamics (entropy) which means than anything left to itself will go from a state of order to disorder.
Im not exactly sure if these natural disasters are a direct result form a significant portion of the worlds apostacy from God,
But this state of Decline in the world we live in does actually point to a time when the world was in near perfection, due to the law of Entropy.
Therefore, We did not originte from Chaos and Chance , but this is further proof to skeptics that we originated from a devine perfection, God.
Anyway i just like to Find excuses to bring him into the conversation, seeming your asking the question in the 'Religion and spirituality' section

Who's blaming earthquakes on global warming? And why is this an R&S question?
The scientific consensus is that global warming is occurring, that humans are contributing to it (just how much we contribute and how much we can do about it are up for debate), and that one result has been increased hurricane intensity - but you're the first person I've seen mention tsunamis and earthquakes. Maybe somebody has his natural disasters mixed up.
"No. It is not on the abuse of the earth. That is the conclusions of the Wiccans who believe and worship nature."
"It is not a punishment for abuse on the Earth. They are simply signs of the end times told by Jesus to look for."
Wow. And I'm guessing that these people are actually serious. Incredible, isn't it. That they're walking around outside of lunatic asylums, I mean.

You are absolutely right. However, we do make the costs much higher because we like to build expensive beach-front homes and our destruction of wetlands that serve as barriers between land and sea means more disastrous results. When you pack great numbers of people into cheap housing in earthquake-prone areas the damage is far greater. As the human population grows and spreads into every corner of the planet more and more natural events will have disastrous results in terms of lives lost.

I get what you're saying...but I don't believe I've ever heard of someone with the idea that humans are causing natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis. I would laugh at them if they did.

In comparison to the sheer power of nature and the earth's natural processes, anything that humans could do, short of nuclear winter, is no more than a drop in the ocean. Imagine flicking ants off a picnic table - that would be nature compared to humans.

So you don't think that humans have any blame in the causation of natural disasters. We may not be totally responsible but the way we pollute the earth definitely has an impact in one way or another.

No. It is not on the abuse of the earth. That is the conclusions of the Wiccans who believe and worship nature.
God is getting angry with people who do not believe Him and for the people who are doing bad things on earth in spite of His love he is giving to mankind.
that is why he is shaking the world which caused tsunamis and eruption of volcanoes.

It make people feel better to blame something, I am surprised they do not blame it on the Mormons, Muslims, or Jehovah's Witnesses.

I agree, the world has been going through change since day one... The liberals have just found something else to complain about.
And to the above answer about the hurricane season of 05 being so bad... Why wasn't 06 and why won't 07 be the worst? Did we find a way to stop it????
