Although it may seem like an eternal feature of Earth, the Atlantic Ocean could be swallowed by a vast subduction zone, dubbed the 'Ring of Fire', a new study warns.

Scientists in Portugal say this subduction zone is currently located beneath the Gibraltar Strait, the narrow gap of water between Spain and Morocco.

But the experts think it could grow and expand westwards into the Atlantic and eventually become responsible for a 'closing' or shrinking of the ocean basin.

This is actually good news. We seem to have so much bad news these days.
Just think of all the new business opportunities.

So, who paid for the study, and how do they profit?

“ Only 20 million years left.”

That’s sooner than you think.

But, will it happen in time to counteract the sea level rise due to GW?

If Glow-ball warming don’t git us in less that 7!

So after 20 million years when the Atlantic has drained through a crack in the ground, we will be connected to Africa by land. If you thought illegal immigration was bad now just wait 20m years.

Oh, the Seas will toss and turn eventually, BUT NOT because of Global Warming.

“Ring Of Fire” has already been taken by the Pacific Ocean basin.

Be original in picking a catch phrase.

“...a vast subduction zone...”?

That sounds like a precursor for a lot of really tacky, nasty jokes. And for some reason, Whoopi Goldberg’s name just popped into my mind.

The Atlantic Ocean COULD be.....

Present day meteorologists use a certain language that would never be allowed in most jobs:

Maybe, perhaps, chance of, partly,

Long term Globull Hoaxers use computer models that only predict Doom & Gloom.

I believe that tomorrow there is more than a ‘chance’ that the Sun will rise in the East. It will get bright during the day, with a darkening of the skies later in the day. During the next month, at night, there will sometimes be a bright, mostly white sphere in the night sky. Sometimes, it will be fully bright, other times only half bright.

Stay tuned for more on this network.
