I thought this was a cool video about how the physical surface of the Earth has changed over the last millions of years… and what's to come… link Enjoy Warren |

Thats cool…. no idea what the prediction is based on, but i look forwards to a couple of the events… australia crashing into china…
alaska separating from the US…
britain being consumed by europe… I think i might pop back in a few million years to watch the cultural implications of these events… ;) |

I worry about the thin strip of water separating Canada from North Africa Mind you, that pales into comparison with what happens when AustroChina decides to conquer the rest of Asia Imagine the gaming possibilities – - - |

Alaska is already separated from the US . . .
Australia is moving diplomatically closer to China. . .
Britain is resisting the Euro . . . And "they" are trying to take our guns! The end is near. So buy more minis. |

Thanks warren, I didn't think it was very good though compared to other stuff I've seen on plate tectonics. Brandlin, the predictions (I didn't watch the whole thing) would be based on things like the activity of the mid-Atlantic rift, subduction zones around the San Andreas and similar faults.

Our local newspaper did a very cool poster a few years ago, illustrating the Triassic plants and animals that have been found in our area, and pinpointing our area on a series of maps from the Triassic up to today. The poster is still available: link |

Even sooner, the low laying islands, wetlands and coastal cities are going to be very wet. The ocean is rising quite quickly geologically speaking. Good bye Florida Keys. 8^P |

Don't worry about it because the Mayans only gave us to 2012 on their calendar. |
| jpattern2 | 11 Aug 2009 2:33 p.m. PST |
Yeah, but in 2012 the Mayans would have just started over again at the beginning. Apparently they didn't attach any real significance to the "end" of their calendar, but that hasn't stopped apocalyptic fetishists from seizing on it. (Not referring to you, wargamer1972. I mean the real *crazies* out there.) |

Y2K scare – nothing happened. Hale-Bopp comet – nothing happened. Planetary alignment – nothing happened. December 23, 2012 – The Mayan calendar reaches it's end.

December 23, 2012 – The Mayan calendar reaches it's end and history repeats itself. Fixed |

December 23, 2012 – The Mayan calendar reaches it's end and history repeats itself. Well that's good – at least I will know what to wear once things start repeating; my Osprey collection will come in handy! |

so how long do we have before the Earth is sucked into the Sun? |

About 5 billion years before the suns' outer layers expand to consume the Earth. |

Just time then to finish painting all my so far collected minis! |
checks out some 10/15mm railroad tracks for wargaming.
