+John Teacake MVC Posted August 30, 2004 MVC Share Posted August 30, 2004 If the worlds going to end, Its going to end by whatever means. Theres no point worrying about it becuase its not like theres going to be anything you can do after its happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Grey Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 There will be an earthquake, but I doubt CA will actually float off to join Hawaii like everybody wants. The supervolcano thing is real, though, but we'll probably have at least some warning time before it goes kaboom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Veteran Posted August 30, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 30, 2004 Here's a fun disaster scenario straight from The Discovery Channel: a new planetary ice age within the next 10-20 years. Ice age? But what about global warming? Well it seems that geological data from the previous ice ages show they result from a brief warm up of the atmoshpere just a few years prior to each ice age. This increase in temperature (as slight as a few degrees) causes an imbalance in the temperature-salinity balance of the major oceans. This imbalance slows down the salinity currents (both the North Atlantic Deep Water and the Atlantic Bottom water), shutting off ocean thermohaline circulation.This causes the worlds oceans to rapidly drop in temperature, causing a global freeze within a few short months. So in effect, the warmer it gets, the colder its gonna get. Joy. <-runs to kitchen for more tin foil Hello, The Day After Tomorrow. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scary to think about...and at least the supercell storms didn't hit all of the world - just the Northern Hemisphere! :p (too bad I live there...) Ah well, sooner or later the universe is going to completely end...WHAT ABOUT THAT, HUH!? (yeah, I think my scenario is the worst). :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yeah, I think my scenario is the worst). :) Those "super-duper-cooler" storms in TDaT are complete bologna. The thought that a storm could reach up into the upper atomsphere and "pull" down super-cooled air is...is... :laugh: But super cell storms, such as incredibly intense Hurricanes, that can last over land, and over cooler waters are a possibility. As are incredibly intense storms that just last and last and last, not to mention super blizzards, super tornadoes, super, well everything. In this case/scenerio, we've never seen it before so it would be super everything really. But those storms in TDaT are just bullcrap. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atom Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 Just one question at the SilverKnight-dude; how do you know it's 2010... Its obvious, he saw Escape From LA last night and thought it was a documentary. Anyways, I live in So-Cal and have been hearing these theories since i was a child. As long as it doesnt happen in my lifetime i couldn't care less. :p Its not like theres anything i can do about it anyways. So lets all just get drunk and enjoy it while we still can! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daimon Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 When an earthquake breaks up countries like Turkey, they do real damage. But when civilized countries are hit, the damage is less. Turkey is still alive after a giant earthquake. You guys should not worry that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it was about the cooling of the atlantic current and the subsequent disruption of the weather across the globe (though it really only showed one country getting affected, cuz everyone knows only the US matters in disaster movies) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slippery Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 back in 69' when I was only 12, my family lived in California and there was a scare about the very same thing, and it was due to the San Andreas fault line running thru the area.

Argote Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 The yellowstone stuff is due to the fact that the very lava which causes heat for yellowstone's geysers has nowhere to go and is increasing in pressure in that area, this has been measured by scientists, because elevations are different from the original survey in the early 1900's and by quite a big difference, thus there is a great ammount of lava and pressure building up under yellowstone which could result in a pretty big explosion, the california thing will slide slowly to the northwest in the direction of alaske, just look in mexioco at the baja peninsula, how the hell do you think it was formed, there is separation there but it'll take more than 50,000 years for it to be separed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The governement is working on it but it's too strong to do something it's like tring to stop a Formula 1 with ur strenth How long do you think it takes the magnetic poles to flip? They are only predicting the start of the flip. Did you know that magnetic north has not been fixed for some time now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
