Would you agree that the trend would be suggestive of at least 1 possibly 2, 8(9)+mag. eathquake(s) any time now?
The trend of earthquakes could lead one to say that - but predicting earthquakes is very shaky (pun intended).

Based on the hypothesis the formation of two super typhoons Sanba and Jelewat are indicating serious/significant tension build up in the Philipines plate. Mt Fuji's current pressure/tension state is also indicating similar.
Coming from a person with some sceintific background and knowing what you do , I find this sort of statement utterly riduculous!There is absolutely no causal relationship between the two phenomena.
Of course it is if one subscibes to the ridiculous nature of your absolute statement.But the hypothesis is hopelessly flawed!

While the western Pacific is no stranger to frequent typhoons, it is quite rare to have two consecutive super typhoons (a “super typhoon” is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph or greater).

To state with out question and in absolute terms that there is NO CAUSAL relationship between two planetary events with in close proximity of each other is quite bizzare!
Mind you , you are not the only one,, the scientists and planners that helped build the Power plant at Fukushima Japan, thought a large earthquake 9+M was absolutely impossible too...even though they built the bloody thing in the worst possible spot..
But the fact that they did build it there and that an eathquake 9+M occured is very telling of the "mind set" of those involved. [ We don't have any precedents to set the scale to allow for a 10,11,12+ M quake so we think that they are impossible? Totally daft..presumptions. ]
Now we have a strata volcano primed [Fuji] and ready to blow less than 100 kms from Tokyo with a population of 30 million and a damaged Nuclear Powerplant all part of the anticipated track of a super typhoon [Jelewat]...and you are prepared to state in absolute terms there is NO CAUSAL relationship with tectonic tensions and weather patterns.....
I suppose you with your attitude would build a super high grade, 6* reactor nuclear power plant at Fukushima too ......yes?
Of course it is if one subscibes to the ridiculous nature of your absolute statement.
And you need to understand the hypothesis first before you can be critical of it.
You have not demonstrated an understanding nor the desire to understand....yet you are prepared to condemn it...
Fortunately there are others who do understand and are patiently waiting to see if "Climate change evidence" including earthquake trends data substantiate and support the hypothesis.
You gotta realise that Eathquake trends are not caused by human activity.
That "climate change phenonema" is most likely caused by tectonic and siesmic changes to our planet and changes to our sun.
The data is easily seen and very clear at this stage...
At the 2011 American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, Shimon Wdowinski announced a temporal connection between tropical cyclones and earthquakes.
Note that there is resistance to the idea but it is being looked at seriously by many in the field...Some recent research has found a correlation between a sudden relative spike in atmospheric temperate 2-5 days before an earthquake. It is speculated that this rise is caused by the movement of ions within the earth's crust, related to the oncoming earthquake. However, in this case the atmospheric changes are caused by the earthquake, rather than causing it. Furthermore, this relative change would not cause any single recognizable weather pattern that could be labelled "earthquake weather".
Two major environmental/planetary issues coinciding at the same time seems to be too much to ignore.....
why wouldn't you see the potential for a relationship?Neither of the of those 2 comments support your conjecture. The first is discussing that rain induced landslides could trigger a fault slip - not even in the relm of what you were talking about.
What is the souce of your second comment.
Why??? There is no reason to assume they are related.
Effects on human population - minor.Strong and shallow earthquake M6.2 occurred on October 1 at 22:21:45 UTC off the east coast of Honshu, Japan. The epicenter was located 97 km (60 miles) ENE of Miyako (39.853°N, 143.047°E) at depth of 9.7 km (6.0 miles). JMA Japan reports a M6.3 at a depth of 10 km, USGS registered M6.2 at the same depth while EMSC registered M5.7 at depth of 30 km. The earthquake was felt all over northern Honshu and at the east and south coast of Hokkaido.
A Japanese scientist has warned Mount Fuji is due for a "big-scale explosive eruption" that could affect millions of people and cause billions of dollars worth of damage.
Last month a study found the magma chamber under the mountain has come under immense pressure, which could even trigger a volcanic eruption.
