Socialism is a buzzword in the US. Nobody's giving capital to workers.
The Green New Deal is about the economy because FDR's New Deal was about it too and industry (that appeared with the industrial revolution) is what's responsible for current problems. Restructuring that industry and keeping it in check is key for our good.
How climate change will affect the frequence or intensity of eartquakes?
I agree that, on current predictions taking already know effects, heat, floods and hurricanes should increase.
And, as we are getting into new global conditions compared with historic records, we may face other negative effects due to feedback loops and unexpected interactions, but I don't know how that will affect eartquakes, unless it forces people to move to areas where they are more common.
In addition, there is a newly discovered phenomenon called a stormquake. As storms become more powerful due to climate change, we may also see increased seismic activity.
Depends...if it’s on top of a 12ft storm surge during a new moon high tide (hurricanes don’t always have good timing) , it could make a big difference.
Very odd they feature earthquakes so prominently on their map of supposed climate change effects. There is very little evidence to suggest climate change has any affect on the frequency of earthquakes humans can feel.
“We’re simply not in a position at this point to say that climate processes could trigger a large quake.”
The article is written by a political activist. Might as well include solar activity and locust plague map to demonstrate how much the world is on fire.

Also there are already hurricanes in the map legend. Nobody would notice a little earthquake during a hurricane.

You asked how it can be mapped. It absolutely can be mapped.
