It's possible the 2012 crazies aren't that crazy.

Doomsday: How BP Gulf disaster may have triggered a 'world-killing' event

Pullquote:

The warning signs of an impending planetary catastrophe—of such great magnitude that the human mind has difficulty grasping it-would be the appearance of large fissures or rifts splitting open the ocean floor, a rise in the elevation of the seabed, and the massive venting of methane and other gases into the surrounding water.

All three warning signs are documented to be occurring in the Gulf.

Why is the press being kept away? Word is that the disaster is escalating.

This is not from some wild-eyed conspiracy theorists. Sources include Gregory Ryskin, Professor of Chemical and Biological Engineering at Northwestern University, and John Kessler, Assistant Professor of Oceanography (M.S. & PhD in Earth Systems Science) at Texas A&M.

So, if I don't see you before the end of the human race... bye.

Hmm - despite the contributors' qualifications, color me skeptical about the worst-case scenario.

Definitely an argument in favor of greater transparency of coverage of this disaster, though - we really do need to keep a close eye on what's going on around there. Extinction-level event in waiting or no, this is already a BFD for those living through it.

AGREED.

Also, I ADORE your icon; I have that particular Japanese woodcut as my laptop background.
