Scientists have discovered a crack in the Earth's crust that threatens to pull North America and Europe closer together and cause the Atlantic Ocean to vanish in about 220 million years.
Researchers at the University of Lisbon have created a new map of the seafloor, off the coast of Iberia -- the region of Europe that includes Portugal and Spain -- and the results show the beginnings of a new subduction zone.
National Geographic reported on the new data surrounding the subduction zones, and what could happen when the tectonic plates -- the large rock slabs that make up the Earth's crust -- crash into one another.

Oh the huge manatee! I have to start worrying about this immediately, only 220 million years? Global warming will have to wait! I cant focus on two environmental disasters at the same time.

I hope so- I’d love to pave the ocean floor and turn it into a huge parking lot
I just love these satire articles.
Great news!
in 220 million years I’ll be able to drive to Europe and skip the TSA.
Will that make a Europeam vacation cheaper?
I recall far more episodes of God ravaging the ecology than of Him repairing it.
LOL!!
Maybe. But to create, one must first destroy. Which is why God created the virus.

Global climate change, what can’t it do?

Dang. There goes global warming coastal inundation as a bogeyman to scare everybody into draconian socialist schemes.
On to the next “problem” requiring draconian socialist schemes, I guess. Sigh. A progressive’s work is never done, lol.
I suspect he will try a gerbil..
California is on the Pacific Ocean.
I guess the same magic machine that would break California off from the continent could also shrink it so it go pass through the Panama Canal./s
Just curious-—what will he restore the earth to? What is HIS favorite geologic time?

Welcome back, Pangia.
Careful froggie , sitting on the knot on the log in the hole in the bottom of the sea.
Moving all that mass will have the earth vibrating like a poorly balanced tire - future generations will be on regular Dramamine doses.
