Watch A Lava Flow Quietly Eat Away At A Hawaiian Forest

PRAGUE, OK - JANUARY 25: Gary Landra stands on a crack across his basement floor that he says was caused by an earthquake four years ago in Prague, OK on January 25, 2015. On November 5th, 2011 an intraplate earthquake measuring a record 5.7 occured near Prague. The quake caused a 28-foot tall stone fireplace inside the Landra's A-frame home to collapse and rain down on Sandra who was relaxing in the living room. She was taken to the emergency room and was badly bruised with 12 stitches. Oklahoma normally has seismic activity but the Landra's believe that wastewater injection wells used by oil companies are to blame for causing this quake and well as numerous others quakes throughout the state. Oil and gas companies use injection wells to dispose of waste water used in drilling and fracking. Recent scientific reports suggest that these injection wells may be linked to a dramatic uptick in Oklahoma earthquakes. Sandra Landra is seeking $75,000 in damages.

A Great New Tool That Makes Global Climate Change Local

Author, 'How Risky Is It, Really?'
Is this news dire? No. Does it make me feel much more alarmed about climate change? No. Not by itself. But it starts to make an abstract problem concrete, and it starts to put a global problem into terms that are local, relevant, and familiar.
