Well based on NOAA data its a little to complex to determine if earthquakes and climate are related and the records don't go that far back only to recorded history
but there was some warming going on around 1000 AD which does correlate somewhat but difficult to say for sure so it is a perhaps correlation of a probability of 1/5000 say. More >

I hope aid arrives quickly to Haiti and Port Au Prince , they only have 2 or 3 days to reach survivors.
Was the epicenter right at the capital? Perhaps the G20 could convene via teleconference and have
emergency meeting and coordinate a global response.
This is worse the the 2004 Tsunami it would appear.

An introduction to the science and art of perception management.
The phrase "perception management" is filtering into common use as a synonym for "persuasion." Public relations firms now offer "perception management" as one of their services. Similarly, public officials who are being accused of shading the truth are now frequently charged with engaging in "perception management" when disseminating information to media or to the general public.
Although perception management operations are typically carried out within the international arena between governments, and between governments and citizens, use of perception management techniques have become part of mainstream information management systems in many ways that do not concern military campaigns or government relations with citizenry. Businesses may even contract with other businesses to conduct perception management for them, or they may conduct it in-house with their public relations staff.
Perception management is a term originated by the U. S. military. The U. S. Department of Defense (DOD) gives this definition:
Actions to convey and/or deny selected information and indicators to foreign audiences to influence their emotions, motives, and objective reasoning as well as to intelligence systems and leaders at all levels to influence official estimates, ultimately resulting in foreign behaviors and official actions favorable to the originator's objectives. In various ways, perception management combines truth projection, operations security, cover and deception, and psychological operations.
