Zhonghao Shou’s comment on ‘Global warming’
Nature published Editorial ‘Climate talks are not enough’ of Nature Editorial. The following is my comment:
I have discovered a clean energy source: Earthquake Vapor. It reaches 300~1520oC and 67055~96000 atm in impending hypocenters. It can cause disasters such as earthquake, tsunami, mysterious air and sea accident, drought, flood, snowstorm, hurricane, tornado, and so on. The three formers are in papers (Shou 1999, Harrington and Shou 2005, Shou et al 2010, Shou 2011, and Shou and Fang 2016). The others will be described. Although the United Nations published the Earthquake Vapor Model in its 2004 yearbook, and shared this book to its all member states, and the USA patented it, it is still unfamiliar. Therefore, I will describe this model at first.
Under external stress, the weak parts of rocks break first. These fractured rocks allow water penetration. When rocks and groundwater move against each other, friction generates a tremendous amount of heat. Heat transforms groundwater to vapor of high temperature and pressure, which erupts through crevices to a nozzle of the surface. The vapor rises up and condenses into a cloud after encountering colder air. The nozzle predicts an impending epicenter nearby; the size of the cloud indicates the magnitude; and the timing of earthquake was empirically determined to be within 112 days after the first appearance of the cloud. Further, 10% of earthquakes happen within 3 days, and the others happen within 3 days after the second eruption. Therefore, earthquakes can be predicted within a week.
The Bam cloud and Shou’s Bam prediction give a good example. At 2:00 on Dec. 20, 2003, a cloud appeared from and insisted at Bam, Iran for 26 hours in spite of wind. Meteorology cannot explain this phenomenon; while Shou predicted to the public, at UTC 0:58 on Dec.25. an earthquake of magnitude 5.5 or above within 60 days at the vapor source. On the next day, an M6.8 earthquake at Bam proclaimed the success of the prediction. This earthquake was the only one in the both predicted area and magnitude windows in the historical record of about 3,000 years. The coincidence between the non-meteorological cloud and the statistical significance of the prediction supports the model. During the vapor eruption, the temperature at Zahedan, the closest downwind station of the Bam cloud, increased by 5oC from Dec.19 to 20, and was the highest increase. The coincidence among the cloud, the abnormal increase, and the closest location downwind can easily attribute to the vapor, but not to greenhouse effect. This property is general for all earthquake vapors.
A swarm of Indian tsunami earthquake vapors offer an example of surface temperature above 100oC. They erupted together at 15:00 on Nov.14, 2004, and formed three straight clouds across the ocean: one from Andaman lasted for about 24 hours, another Nicobar 36hrs, and the other Sumatra 57hrs. They all turned to Pakistan where 225oC was recorded by the Karachi airport at UTC 4:30 (LT 9:30) on Nov.15; 146oC Lahore 16:30 (LT 21:30) Nov.15; and 288oC Karachi 13:00 (LT 18:00) Nov.16. An M6.6, M7.5 and M9.0 earthquake respectively hit Andaman, Nicobar and Sumatra on Dec.26, 2004, and was the largest in the area of 8~10N and 90~95E since Jan.1, 1990; of 5~20N and 90~105E from Jan.1, 1990 to Jul.23, 2005; and of the world from Mar.28,1964 to Mar.10, 2011. The relationship between the durations of 24hrs, 36 and 57 and the magnitudes of 6.6, 7.5 and 9 suggests that the longer the duration, the bigger the earthquake. The coincidence among the non-meteorological clouds, the abnormal temperatures, and the unique earthquakes can attribute to the vapor, but not to the greenhouse. Moreover, it is impossible to use greenhouse effect to account for surface temperature above 100oC, or pulse temperature increase in the morning or at night. More examples can be found from Shou’s papers.
My investigation on earthquake, earthquake vapor and their relevant temperature shows that temperature changes are not global, but local and temporary. Many places have no data (Shou and Fang 2016) to support the globe warming. The both existence and disappearance of dinosaur show that globe warming and globe cooling can exist without human being. The 2008 Southern China snowstorms, the -60oC cold weather of Tuva, Russia in 2012, the snowball of Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma in 2015 and so on deny the globe warming. In my opinion, the greenhouse effect may be overestimated. However, I still advocate reducing use of fossil-fuel for reducing air pollution. I suggest finding a way of how to use earthquake vapor, which will not only avoid earthquake disaster, but also obtain enormous clean energy.
