Giant wave hit ancient Scotland
by Helen Briggs

BBC News Online
A giant wave flooded Scotland about 7,000 years ago, a scientist revealed on Friday. The tsunami left a trail of destruction along what is now the eastern coast of the country. Scientists believe a landslide on the ocean floor off Storegga, south-west Norway, triggered the wave. Speaking at the British Association Festival of Science in Glasgow, Professor David Smith said a tsunami could strike again in the area but the probability was extremely unlikely. Radiocarbon dating of sediments taken from the coastline of eastern Scotland put the date of the event at about 5,800 BC. At the time, Britain was joined to mainland Europe by a land bridge. ..."It looks as if those people were happily sitting in their camp when this wave from the sea hit the camp," Professor Smith of the department of Geography at Coventry University told BBC News Online.

Another case of man made climate catastrophe. Most people don’t know it but there were a species of humans whose genetic code made them have large thumbs which they used to stick in holes in dikes and a certain unmentionable part of their body.
Occassionally, sheer boredom, religious ritual, or the need for climate change led to a change in the respective positions of the thumbs—often with disastrous result.

So let me make sure this is clear. If not for the European raping of the North American continent, destroying the natural frozen state of the climate, Britain would still connected to the European continent? When will justice finally prevail? We must HURRY UP and shoot the sulfur diox-acallit into the atmosphere, and reflect the heat back out to space.....without the ice we will all die.

This story says the land bridge existed till 5000 or 6000 BC. The original story says it was gone before there were humans. Glad they have gotten it so exactly.

Yeah, that was interesting to me as well. I’d found that Scottish tsunami story over the weekend, had planned to post it as a topic, then this one came up. :’)

Similar to the way (or exactly the same) the Grand canyon was formed.
