So about a year and a half ago, USGS changed the way they reported earthquakes so that they could back up their position that the number of earthquakes world wide are not increasing. Then they said that because there are more monitoring stations world wide, it appears that there are more earthquakes but there really aren't, just more of them being reported than before. Now, they just fail to report some altogether or remove reported ones from their archives, all in the effort to deny they fact that Earthquake frequency and magnitude are increasing. They are trying to keep everyone from becoming alarmed. There is a report out today of Volcanism increasing world wide now. Earthquakes and Volcanoes are related in that they are caused by the same dynamics - pressures in the mantle having destabilizing effects on the earth's crust overhead, causing the eruptions of volcanoes and earthquakes.
Now here is the question: do you really think that we are not getting more frequent and powerful earthquakes and volcanic eruptions than just a few short years ago?
And an aside comment: I find it interesting that all the so-called experts are strangely quiet on scientific issues, like the radiation situation with Fukushima, for instance.
That is what you get when you are on the government tit for research and grant funds - censorship out of threat of losing you financial support.
