"Isn't it becoming like The Day After Tomorrow?"

Just a curious question about the wave of natrual disasters the world has faced in the recent weeks.

We had a huge tsunami hit the low lands around the Indian Ocean.
We've had a landslide in the USA that's killed about 10 people.
Huge flooding in Carlise, where a few deaths have occurred.
And, although UK has many small tornados a year, the south coast has had a couple of big ones recently.

All the above has happened in the passed few weeks - are we heading for another ice age, or is it just bad luck/coincidence?

Well that's it, the World is ending and what a crappy way to go - floods and wind. I wanted explosions, then an implosion, like that planet Superman lived on. He would have saved us, but then a horse killed him.

Horses - man's worst enemy?

I love crazy weather. Obviously, the numerous death etc are a great tragedy...but the weather intrigues me greatly.

I dont remember having tornadoes in Meath in winter before, or being barely able to walk down the street for the winds and flooding for two solid weeks, or thunder storms every day, or hurricanes being recorded in Sweden.

Its kind of obvious somethings not right.

Hey don't forget the 5 or so Hurricanes they had in Florida recently. I was in Charley.

hippyman, i couldnt agree more.

Why do we all work 5 days a week, fulfilling the most boring lifes. Even childhood these days is stressful and not as fun as it should be. In the end what have we all achieved? Nothing. We are simply providing services to each other, we have done nothing for ourselves.

When the end comes, what has civilisation done for everyone? Made everyone stressed and forced them to lead boring lifes, unless they want to lead an exciting but poor one.

Its all about money. Sad but true.

Yeah, you gotta point monkey_man. I see it slightly different now. But still, we need to pull together, all of our nations, to reduce our pollutants and stuff. America should be ashamed, as they are producing the most, and doing the least about global warming.

Whether what I said was stupid or not, this is a serious issue that we all need to consider. If Earth does freeze over, it'd be a great way to start again - all we've been doing since the dawn of man is destroying each other and everything we come across.

MAybe nothing will happen, everyone will continue to hate each other and will finally destroy ourselves - without the aid of mother nature. Either way, we are all doomed. I just wanna know, why can't we all go in an exciting way - like they do in the movies - such as alien warfare, rats rising from the sewers to conquer the world and maybe ghosts possessing us to turn into loopey politicians that tell each other sick pathetic jokes (called propaganda) and then we all laugh ourselves to death!

its God teaching us what happens when we try to predict his ways and the motives behind them

St Helens'll blow next.

Japan has a long history of tsunami disasters, just nothing on the scale of the one recently. Its not a freak occurence, they do happen. Any time theres an earthquake at sea, theres potential for a Tsunami (depending on the tectonic plates, whether there colliding, moving away etc).

If theres a massive landslide into the sea, that can cause them too. If a massive ice cap split in two, and half crashed into the sea all at once, that could affect a large portion of the world.

Ahaha, I actually know what you're on about. I've got an mp3 of a folk song about it at home.
