Reply #7: The earth's atmosphere

[ronnie624]

is a delicate, paper thin wisp of gases, hovering next to the surface. Let me assure you, that it does not contain enough mass or energy to influence the convective forces below the earth's crust, which are comparatively, infinitely greater in scale. Atmospheric phenomena cannot cause volcanic eruptions or earthquakes.

And attributing a single, specific weather event to global climate change is illogical, though technically, all of the earth's weather and climate events are a result of atmospheric energy (global warming).
