So, ...@ Doubting Richard etc re tectonic movement.<br /><br />So, what you're saying is that if a piece of the planet that's above sea level moves to an area of the planet that's normally colder or warmer than where the piece of land started off then the 'climate' experienced by that piece of above-sea landmass will change to match that of the area it's moved to?<br /><br />What's it got to do with man-made climate change and the current AGW panic?<br /><br />It's more related to choosing a holiday destination, based how whether it's warmer of colder than where you normally live, but a lot of people don't understand the timescale, and don't understand that it's not stoppable, mankind can't control it.<br /><br />The area of the planet still has the same climate, it's just that things living on the bit of moving landmass land notice it - but they only notice it happening very, very, slowly because it take millions of years for land to gradually move to a new geographical position.<br /><br />Did the climate in Portugal change following the earthquake and tsunami of 1755, and has the climate of the Indian Ocean and surrounding countries changed since the India/Burma plate movement that caused the Boxing Day tsunami 2004? If not, then explain why not – because people expect things to happen instantly, they can't wait for millions of years.Mrs Rigbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06389986110372627649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7833323371429093721.post-80393778023612311482009-12-10T21:58:21.947+00:002009-12-10T21:58:21.947+00:00Actually, while most of your post is very sound, y...Actually, while most of your post is very sound, you are mistaken that techtonic plate movements do not affect climate. The positions of continent, ocean, land, sea and mountains all affect climate.

It is postulated that when the Americas crashed into each other, the resulting changes in ocean climate sent a run of wet weather to Europe that caused massive prolonged snow fall aka the last ice age.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
