AL2008, you''''re saying global warming causes earthquakes?!? You''''re forgetting that it also causes high taxes, low tides, tooth decay, and flat feet as well!

This is a known earthquake prone area. Chinese government ignored that reality and built (still building) massive dams in the area over the objection of many concerned groups. I suppose, pride and arrogance always win over sanity. Example! Myanmar, USA...

it is too bad that you cannot see past the government of these people. it is not about the supporting the chinese government, or their religion.

it is about helping helpless people, did you understand the word ''people''.

not the government that they just so happen to be born under, the ''people'' if they do not have the help from their government, then they need out thoughts and aid more than ever.

you are heartless.

people; women, children, babies, fathers, mothers, grandmothers, grandfathers, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, grandchildren. all love, breathe, feel, and need help.

I wonder if anyone knows yet which fault caused the quake? There are a several major strike/slip candidates on the Plateau, mapped many years ago, but from the location ID map in the article, the quake looks like it might be from a fault which hasn''t been mapped.

When it rains, it pours.

it was the moving shock for me when i heard tha t there was an earthquake in china and all thoses people were trapped and some parents lost their children and i will keep those people in my prayers and i will keep praying for them.

[shanev137]

the earthquake had damaged 391 dams

---------

man, that is one hell of a lot of dams.

[killtheliars]

since there are no fault lines under china I am starting to wonder if they were testing weapons underground again.

I%u2019m appalled at the administration%u2019s lack of response to the global warming earthquakes, hurricanes, and cyclones as well. We have no comprehensive strategy in place whatsoever, let alone a detailed plan of action to mitigate the effects of these quakes and cyclones, and mother earth continues to suffer while the administration refuses to go forward and do what%u2019s right for mother earth.
.
How long must we sit idly by while our mother continues to suffer from the warming taking place at a feverish pace? How long must our mother suffer before we have proper c02 taxes put into place? How long must the destruction of mother earth take place before we finally put responsible plans into action? How long must we wait until we beef up our corn ethanol production? At least Obama wants to cut c02 pollution by 80%; he is definitely our best hope.
.
We the people call upon our leaders to implement a comprehensive antiglobal warming strategy at once and work in coordination with state and federal officials; these quakes, cyclones and disasters continue to worsen and the quicker we stop the warming the sooner we will see these quakes and storms cease. We need action now.

speaking of cold & heartless does the Chinese Goverment care about the genecidal killing of 1,000,000..Tibetans it''s killed since 1959 and all the other Chinese minorities & cultures it''s tried to assimilate with the Han Chinese..Bleeding hearts continue to give the Chinese government a free ride.. talk about cold & heartless..and if a Chine person dare to speak about these injustices ..look out they''ll lock em up as quick as you can say "save the panda"...

[Marie Zarankevich]

I would like to thank the Chinese Government for allowing journalists to cover the current emergency there for all the world to see. -- Most of Americans care deeply about the suffering of the people of China, and we want to know and understand what is happening there. -- Not everyone here is cold and heartless. -- We have had our own share of such emergencies in recent years, and we do care about yours. -- Thank you, again. -- I wish you well.

China is accepting "only money and supplies", but not assistance in the form of workers. China already has all the supplies that Americans can buy at WalMart, and money doesn''t help get people out of collapsed buildings, so I wold guess China doesn''t need anything right now.

It was a moving and shocking moment when I saw these pictures about the giant earthquake in Sichuan, China. Some people are dead, some people who remain trapped are still alive. All my family members and co-workers want to do sth. for victims and their families. Although I don''t have any relatives or friends in epicenter area, but all the victims are my country siblings. I do need to help and save them. I hope we will undergo the disaster toghter and have gritty toughness to face any plight like this.
