    I know I'll get shouted down for saying that I think the melting ice at the poles has redistributed enough mass to change the stresses on the earth's crust and that it will probably increase the number of major earthquakes for thousands of years. One quake can set up stresses on another fault's weak spots until a real domino effect happens.

    Then let's hope nature goes bowling for trailer parks by throwing a few tornadoes down the Midwest, and see if people feel the same way.

    So is this the direction the thread is going to be taking, now? Just wondering if I should unsubscribe now and go back to the live data streams.

    I'd love that. Most my neighbors are hicks and I'd take my chances just to see all their trailer homes rolled around. Chances are after a tornado that slightly less of their garbage would end up in my yard.

    What's going on with Hawaii right now? When I left the livestream they said that damage wouldn't be significant, but there would be small widespread damages. They also said they weren't sure if that was positive and would need time to get a 100% on anything.

    Have they decided 100% on anything yet?

    I'm fairly certain they have no idea and are just reporting for the sake of reporting at this point.

    Japan actually has a negative population growth right now.

    According to google. As of 2009

    I keep hearing that they'll be out of people by 2050 or something else completely nuts and I wonder if they'll even bother to come up with a solution by then

    so I was just checking the SE++ map to see if there was anyone in Japan and it seems there isn't? I thought we had one or two people living there.

    have we heard from Lost Salient, though?


    also whoever added a marker for the middle of nowhere near me on the map, I love you.

    How would they be out of people in 49 years? Has everyone suddenly become middle-aged in the country now? Or am I just misinterpreting that statement?

    This dude on CNN is not doing anything positive for the situation. Wild speculation and yelling about how we're all going to die is not what he needs to do right now.

    Oh god, I must have scanned past that post. Olivaw, you are joking right? Please tell me you're not so dense as to think Japan could "run out of people".

    (Oliviaw is over simplifying a major issue over there: Japan's plummeting birth/death rate, which is compounded by, well, stringent rules on immigration. They won't be out of people by 2050, but if there isn't some major change, we may not recognize the country by that time. Note that this too is a pretty watered down description. :b )

    Thoughts go out to the country, and the men and women stationed there.

    That wasn't porn. That was for the sexual equivalent of scientific whaling.
