The man who says he's worked out how to PREDICT earthquakes...

    Just checked with Geophysicist. He points out that a build up in stress might be unrecognisable through seismic.

    However the chinese have recognised stress anomalies from a fracking technique both before and after large quakes. Basically stressed rock in compression is harder to frack. Hence it is recognisable and whats more it has been replicated. That is not to say the approach will give a date. But I can see how it can add another string to the bow of refining a form of prediction. It would certainly confirm a loading up of stress across a faultline.

    This too.

    There are some good papers on assessing the stress gathered in impending earthquakes. It wont give you a day but it will eventually help predict a bit more accurately. You will have to translate for the man of Boholox.

    Just wondering. @oss I know you are painfully aware of the need to act on impending consequences of climate change. That is very clear. What puzzles me is why you are not willing to act on the impending consequences of tectonic stresses at the West Valley Fault in Manila and district. Doesnt make sense. As I know you are fully aware of the impending consequences. If it were me I would have my wife and kids moved away pretty pronto.

    How rich are we all supposed to be, my circumstance has gone from poverty many years ago to reasonable wealth for a good long time, back to very difficult right now.

    I'll take the Filipino view, I'd rather be there with my family when the worst happens because I really have no choice, all the constraints in my life and my family's life conspire to leave me with no room to manoeuvre, some simple examples, she can't marry me, I cannot work there and right now I don't have enough for a deposit on another place, in alternative locations the kids won't get a reasonable education, the list goes on.

    I am not stupid but I am old, even though I am younger than you, and you don't know my story only a little part of it.

    My situation?

    My fault....

    I will not blame anyone else, but I don't have much freedom of choice, and no I am not going to explain, save to say if I had a choice then my family would be elsewhere in the Philippines.

    Live for today, live in the now, that's the lesson I learned over the last 11 years, not to say that I am not doing other things but the other things are speculative and generally have not been successful for me in the past.
