Science, tsunami and other Global Warming Threats
by Simon Willace Thursday December 30, 2004 at 06:42 PM

I’ve left this a bit late, but be that as it may I have my reasons for being distracted. I do not believe you are ready for what I am about to reveal to you. In the main it’s been my contention that Humans are such an argumentative species that to be drawn along in any direction they must be offered something of tangible value, they must be bribed or scared.



I have nothing to bribe you with, and I only scare myself.

In this system of bribes and fear, our democracy seems to travel well, as does religion equally, our leaders can lie deceive and cheat, obeying the most despicable traits of human behaviour and still remain with us as respected leaders, surprisingly, but enough of shared human values none seem to offer us what we were promised or predict for us a better future.

Time to move on.

What brings me to write this article is the tsunami, not politics or religion, but I fear I am too late, some years ago I wrote a long report about how such a thing could happen, but it was ignored. This is a unpublished scientific theory predicting more natural disaster upon land and sea to come shortly. . it’s a short theory which is backed by a great deal of research and cross referencing with at least half a dozen simular related themes but for the first time collated into a short and compelling read made intentionally simple because not everyone can be a vulcanologist, geologist or scientist.

I don’t expect anyone to back my claims, in fact I expect the opposite, reminding myself that Darwin’s claims are still banned reading in some societies while The Global Warming claim is still theory, so my clumsy science should not reach greater acclaim.

The tsunami was created by a seismic shift, powered by the magma layer beneath the earths crust, the magma layer most will know lies beneath our feet under up to 50 miles of earths crust which separates us from what is constantly fluid molten lava flows.

Magma is a constantly moving flux of molten iron but beneath the sea the oceanic crust is in some places 10 miles thick but between the continental plates the oceanic crust is not that thick at all, in these places at depths of 5 miles, water keeps the Magma from boiling over.

Deep beneath the sea the oceanic crust is insulated and contained by the weight and cold temperature of the sea above. In these areas the sea duplicates the containment achieved by the land and does so as a liquid coolant constantly distributing temperatures evenly within its mass, allowing cold water to transport the radiant heat from the magma maintaining physical containment beneath solid sea bed.

Within the earths crust are carbon deposits, oils coals and trace elements of fossilised sequestered remains which give our volcanoes the Carbon dioxide as they belch and explode on occasions. Nevertheless where no outlet is feasible the gas of a thousand atom bombs builds up beneath the crust transported into pockets of immense natural power. Where natural faults occur the seismic shifts are often reported and seem more frequent these days as they reoccur as earth quakes and tsunamis devastating parts of Japan Iran Indonesia China and New Zealand India Thailand and Africa just in this past year.

I would say that earthquakes are as frequent as droughts floods and hurricanes in recent times than over the corse off several centuries but what has changed?
Something quite alarming and unsurprisingly ignored in this field of science.

Global Warming,

The temperature of the sea is increasing so its ability to maintain the Oceanic crust insulation has already been compromised.

West of Indonesia the oceanic crust was split by a well known fault line, where pressure found its weakest point and released the force required to send destruction over a wide area.
However it was not within the ring of fire, where such seismic shifts occur frequently and the populations of half the world breed, an Indian Ocean tsunami of this size in the years to come will be seen as a small and insignificant example of what will be a common enough occurrence.

Our scientist have been distracted over the years by the atmospheric effects of Global Warming, the Gulf Stream has a measurable effect upon climate and we have become aware of the rising temperatures that affect our lives.

Inuit’s are seeing grass hoppers for the first time, polar bears cannot migrate due to melting ice flows and Snow Resorts are opening all year while promoting walking trails while snow disappears, slowly even those who refuted the Global Warming Theory are now Warming to the theory becoming a fact.

Nevertheless only the above sea aspect of this Natural Threat has so far been studied, no one has researched its effects upon insulating the earths crust.
In Nature periodical scientist published papers in Aug 04 to point out that there is enough carbon deposits beneath the crust for an explosion of such force to split the earth in two extinguishing all life, they of corse failed to point out how such a catastrophe could happen or when, but it seems we have been warned.

Currently the sea is heating up as the high concentrations of salt making the Gulf Stream float dissolve into the greater body of water; as a result the Gulf Stream has become wider and has lost speed. Currently the Gulf Stream although slower still exists but for how long?

Once stopped as a recent Hollywood blockbuster suggested the northern hemisphere will freeze, but the story teller neglected the logic that also suggests that the southern hemisphere will boil unable to shed temperature or receive cold water from the north, effectively creating two hemispheres no longer sharing temperatures split by the equator.

This will raise sea temperature as well as air although in seriousness the film will only be more than science fiction if the earth remains intact.

Global Warming is a greater threat than any other we face as a species causing more deaths than war terrorists or car accidents, but less is spent in research than upon researching new ways to find or use fossil fuels.
Why should anyone be surprised? US department of defence has spent 19 Trillion in60 years on products of war enabling them to create a New world order of complete disorder while Americans can also boast the record spent on one single environmental project which was $8 million spent on one filtration plant to save the Florida Keys, so seriously it would take a quantum leap for the world to save its self.
However Global Warming can only be solved by humans doing something which will not come naturally for us.
Who ever heard of investing in the planet?
