It's all the fault fault of Donald Trump and the
voters who put him in office. Lawsuit any day now by
environmentalist, Democrat Party lunatics and global
warming fanatics. The media will encourage them as always.

This was discovered by the University of Juan de Fuca, otherwise known as Fuca U.

Juan de Fuca was a real person, Ioannis Phokas, a Greek marine pilot. He explored the strait for the Spanish Crown.
Cultural appropriation by the Spaniards.

Christopher Columbus was also employed by the Spanish. His Italian name is Cristoforo Colombo. I guess they paid well.

Now that’s a great idea. We’re recycling any longer

A gaping hole may be wreaking havoc at Earth's surface.... The researchers aren't the first to suggest that the plate has a tear. But thanks to a new, detailed dataset, they're the first to say so with certainty.

Yyyyeahhh. Words like "may" and "suggest" are not congruous with words like "certainty".

Eh. Parts of the Juan de Fuca have been slowly melting under eastern parts of the United States for Milena.
