I'm dubious about whether earthquakes, in themselves would cause
much climate change.

The issue is that the atmosphere itself is a chaotic system,
with positive and negative feedbacks and is variable in its
behavior regardless as to changes in initial inputs. A chaotic
system is one that is "sensitive to changes in initial conditions."
What this means is that the relationship to the variation in an
input is not proportional to the output. It is a non-linear
feedback system. It is not amenable to predicition by the
creation of software simplifications of the system.
"Software climate models are like Ouija boards."

To be sure, the "corp-whore" media amplifies the sensational and
hysterical. But that's to the benefit of the green agenda, which is
based on fear.

Actually, the climate feeds back on itself. Note that clouds, which
are fractal and chaotic and completely unmodelable anyway have
in impact on the albedo of the planet. No external catastrophe is
required to change the climate suddenly (see the NOAA article
above) or extremely. As the article says, the causes of abrupt
climate changes remain unknown. All we got is hypotheses.
