Russian scientists announced last week alarming observations about the strong earthquakes that shook the Earth. In the first decade of the 21st century there were almost as many earthquakes measuring above 6.0 on the Richter scale as there were during the entire 20th century. 14 such cases were registered in the 2001-2011 period compared to 17 strong tremors during the 20th century, the Super 19 Minuti weekly reads.

Astrologists believe that this might have something to do with entering the Age of Aquarius. By a terrifying coincidence it was on 11 March 2011 that the Fukushima disaster happened.

Seismologists have not disregarded the planetary influences that their colleagues "star-gazers" study. Still, they consider the excessive drilling for new energy sources to be a more influential factor. In the U.S. for example the shale gas revolution has led to a sharp increase of earthquakes.
