Reply #34: The scientific community won't touch the topic because of fear [View All]

The reason why it has not been scientifically discussed by the powers that be in the science community in science journals or research is because the science community won't touch the topic with 10 foot pole even if it is a genuine question to ask. Why? Well I think the opinion piece says it best:

Finally, let's face it: Fear of liability and bad publicity by those who trigger earthquakes is hindering research in anthropogenic earthquakes. Ashtabula, Ohio offers a sad example.

And my opinion:

This is a problem that has been going on for more then 60 years. See Ralph Lapps book Kill and Overkill, he discusses in that book and others he wrote how the scientific community starting in the 1940s was taken over by the military. They (the military)would define what they research and where after scientists starting protesting the dangers of the Atomic and Neutron Bombs saying that the bombs should be disarmed. Ralph Lapp was one of the original scientists who helped create atomic weapons from the early days of the Manhattan Project but he got fired because his opinions upset the military.

In short most modern day scientists won’t touch the topic as well for fear of losing their corporate welfare jobs in the science community.
