Do you agree with this statement by the EESC chairman?

Following the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Staffan Nilsson,European Union’s Economic and Social Committee chairman released this statement:

The earthquake and tsunami will clearly have a severe impact on the economic and social activities of the region. Some islands affected by climate change have been hit. Has not the time come to demonstrate on solidarity — not least solidarity in combating and adapting to climate change and global warming? Mother Nature has again given us a sign that that is what we need to do.

Is this earthquake really a not so subltle warning from Mother Nature that we need to be doing something?
If so, what should we do to stop the entire Earth’s crust from moving?
Cool it off with a giant fan?
Bolt it together with big green screws?
Do you agree with Nilsson? Is global warming causing earthquakes?
Why do you believe it?
