    A number of tremors in the english channel during the past few days being classified as possible explosions by the British Geological Survey.

    Explosions of what exactly would be interesting. The English Channel was the site of ordnance dumping over the last 90 years....

    Wow I think felt a tremor from that. First time I've ever felt the ground shake and door rattle, very mild and brief. Thought it was a heavy vehicle but there was no sound nearby.

    And why not? Fracking is like taking a revolver with one bullet in it, pointing at your own head and repeatedly squeezing the trigger.

    You WILL blow your head off, at least we know the worst nuclear reactors do, fracking has even more serious potential, a poisoned land will be OK again in some 20,000 years, opening a fracture to the earth's core might be permanent.

    I think this one was a normal intraplate quake. Over in Oklahoma though there has been a earthquake swarm over the past few days that does very much seem to be linked to drilling.

    My point was that they can't just pin one random quake on fracking ( Of which id be against myself near any populated areas) .Exactly what maq has said , if it was a continuous swarm then id be wondering.

    Just how we can't pin one severe storm on Climate Change.

    As in South Georgia et al? At least you have some very nice high mountainous areas if you ever need them ...

    they just dropped the alert. One to watch though. They're more concerned about another one off the coast of Japan
