Sea Rise Ark / Irish Giant Gene / Betelgeuse
Experts are saying the sea levels will rise by 13 feet in the next thousand years. This is the first time such a long-range forecast has been made, and presumably the authors will never see their work disproved. I presume this work, which focuses on climate change, does not consider that the long-term rise since the last Ice Age will cause a good degree of rise anyway. The good news is an architectural group has designed an extravagant ark to survive the rising sea (seemingly moving to higher ground is not an option).
A race of giants may have sprung from a mutant gene that first emerged around 1,500 years ago and causes uncontrolled body growth, scientists believe. The ‘gigantism gene’ was identified in the DNA of an 18th century man known as the Irish Giant who stood almost eight feet tall. Make it 10,000 years and I suggest this mutation arose during the last global cataclysm. Or 3,000 years and it makes sense of the Bible, which tells us “there were giants on the Earth in those days, and also afterward” (Gen 6:4).
News.com.au mentions the rumors concerning Betelgeuse going supernova in 2012. While the explosion could occur tomorrow, or in 2012, it could also happen 1 million years from now.
