Yeah, I've been on the USGS email list for many years.

So, where do the naysayers come from? I don't recall what threads or whom . . . but it seems like any time catastrophism or END TIMES stuff gets tossed around, up will pop a crop of supposed geologically informed sorts who insist that a long list of things have never happened and can't happen. Usually amongst that are sudden huge plate/earth changes.

I've always thought they were ignorant. But as a layman didn't have much to prove it by.

I think it is a bit of a stretch to say that a new ocean will come from this. Basically, what Africa will be doing is creating a new, much larger Madagascar.

I'm unclear. Is this due to Global Warming, or a Zionist conspiracy against Mecca?

Neither, this is Bush's fault.

In my best imitation of George Strait --"I've got some ocean front property in Ethiopia, from my front porch you can see the sea...."

Maybe it's a Zionist conspiracy against Mecca that uses global warming.
