Danny Glover... what a tool !

Actor Danny Glover believes that the Haitian earthquake was caused by climate change and global warming

Excuse my ignorance but it seems fairly feasible that over the past 20 years or so the temperature of the earth has increased considerably due to global warming, couldn't this heat cause expansion of the earths surface thus causing the plates to shift? Not being an expert in this area but it does seem possible, obviously does to Danny!

Considering that the tectonic plates are 15-200 kilometers or 50-250 miles thick on average, and that the majority of their surface area is located deep under the oceans, I seriously doubt a minute change of temperature in the air above would have any effect on them. The molten core below them is the bigger factor.

However, Danny Glover did play the president in that idiotic 2012 movie so maybe that makes him more in the know than the rest of us.
