Over the past week or so, the geological upheaval in the Canary Islands has caused jets of water to rise more than 20 metres into the air and locals claim to have even seen rocks thrown out of the sea. Measurements taken by researchers show that seething water is significantly warmer than the surrounding sea. The culprit is the Canarian hotspot — the islands are underlain by a deep magma plume that is believed to have first appeared 60 million years ago.

In the recent documentary “An Inconvenient Truth”, Senator Al Gore pointed out that the Greenland ice sheet is melting faster than anyone ever expected. More than this, once it has gone sea levels could rise by up to twenty feet. This would submerge Shanghai and displace about 40 million people crippling China’s economy.
The United States is also in line for catastrophic climate events. According to the Global Meltdown Domino Effect predictions, the eastern seaboard of the United States will be hit by a mega tsunami created by the eruption of Cumbre Vieja in the Canaries, and also will be subjected to a three feet deep blanket of ash caused by the eruption of Yellowstone.

A huge toxic “red tide” has spread out across the waters off southern China, contaminating seafood and posing a health risk for swimmers, state media reported Thursday.
