Today there was an earthquake in one of the most poorest areas within Europeans zone of power. A
7.8 magnitute earthquake with its center at Gaziantep.
Earthquakes are because of teutonic plates moving and here some meet.
In the region are also many gas and oil fields that get extensivly exploited.
In our world society the most powerful are also the most greedy and even so everybody knows that who takes has to give, this does not apply for many. Too many.
There is a good chance that taking out the fossil resources by pumping them off changes the preassure that initially created them and such creates teutonic movement that creates earthquakes, but in the poorest parts of the northern hemisphere, while where the resources mainly go, most believe that impact can be ignored, especially in the posh corporate buildings that rule us by having created oligpole markets against all economic knowledge and lessions tought at the very colleges they attended.
Last time mankind knew better, but worse ruled, earth was struck by The Plague and 80% of European humans were wiped out by the desease and following wars.
Today, in that region of the Mediterranien several millions of humans are living and nobody ever calculated, if in the costeline waters with their naturally created excrement and seaweed farms a comperable amount of energy could be created preserving the fossile resources for future generations to create high-tech fibres and materials after figuring out a resourceful and harmonic way of extraction over what we do today.
Playing foolishly with too much power of impact by our actions.
