IS IT THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT ?

In 1989 an earthquake hit Santa Cruz county. I am no scientist, yet I wanted to try and figure out the mathematical equation of how much oil would the U.S.A. use in the decade 1990-2000. I forget, yet I think it takes 7 gallons of oil to fill a square foot. That it takes 4 gallons of oil to make a gallon of gas. It has been 15 years since I calculated this so I could be wrong on this point. Yet I went through the 1989 Alamanc and figured out how many people could drive and if they only drove one hour a day how much cubic space would it feel in the earth. I don't know if I was correct yet the idea should get others wondering what the answer to this question is. I did not take into account of natural gas, propane, mining, and atomic testing.

At that time I came up with a rough estimate of 10 cubic miles and this was only for the U.S.A. and here we are in the year 2005. What amount has the world used in the past century? People individually are great, yet on a whole they have shown to be destructive to the world. If this earthquake had hit New York and Washington D.C. our country would be without a Federal government. I am not an expert, yet even a child can see if the human race has pulled out 100 cubic miles of fluids and gases something has to take its place. Could the world split in two and we all go flying out into space? I cannot say, yet, it seems that we should expect some strong earthquakes in the future and possibly tidal waves. If so then atomic plants could be struck spreading the deadly man-made substance of their waste. Some may find this hard to digest and I don't claim to be an expert. The very people who claim to be protecting us from terrorism may be causing a much larger act of terror, indirectly.

I know that the largest earthquake in U.S. history was the New Madrid Earthquake which hit on full moons in 1811-12. The largest was an aftershock and was reported to have lasted an hour. I have an entire chapter on these earthquakes in my book: For Which We Stand; The Life and Papers of Rufus Easton. Can you imagine if something like this hit today in a major city or on the open ocean? Bruce C. Adamson

HI Bruce: Well I looked at the link taking me to the destruction of the
world as we know it.  I think your math is a little off and that the planet
can take a shuffling of 10 or even a 100 cubic miles in stride.  Whether or
not we will survive it is another question. Both the pollution question and
the effects, both short and long term, on global warming have the potential
to significantly harm human beings, but hen so does life itself. More
interesting to me is how we get along with each other in the meantime.  Our
competition over depleting natural resources, which will have to be said to
include clean air and open space can be gracious, civil, intelligent, legal,
or otherwise.  So far it the "or otherwise"  that is dominant.  At some
point we will have to learn how to be loving, just, compassionate and
intelligent, in relationship to each other, All of us, or we might as well
go flying off into space because life for the most part won't be worth
living. Bob

Now that I've had more time to go through your comments, Bruce, let me say:
Excellent points! I apprciate you supplying even "napkin numbers" to
illustrate my concerns over empty oil caverns.

My hunch is that petroleum deposits lubricate tectonic plates.

You get my, er, drift...

I would like to quote your remarks in my upcoming article: WAS THE TSUNAMI
TRIGGERED?

Important: Do you know the oil companies involved in the seismic testing off
Tasmania?
