Roger demonstrated with data that there was no significant relationship, at least for the strong flares, storms, etc. and magnitudes of earthquakes that he checked.
I would have to ask, before even going to the catalogs, how? I mean, by what possible mechanism could solar flares or geomagnetic storms cause or trigger earthquakes? I would then have to ask if the proponents of this idea even know, I mean truly know and understand just what a solar flare is or a geomagnetic storm.
But alas, learning a little science, learning some facts is verboten in this day and age. Might as well say quakes are caused by voodoo and witchcraft gone bad. If only the damned fools knew how to cast spells properly.
