1. I went down, down down in a burning ring of tacos

2. Building on a sandbank and claiming its solid ground…
   Awesome how climate emergency will no doubt be blamed for it.

   Our planet has a multitude of evidence that our water levels were far higher in the past.
   But old science says, we have never lost a drop in 4 billion years. Even with all the evidence of asteroids and meteors strikes.

   When you add evidence of water in archeology, then a multitude of impossibility evidence in moving rocks and materials become much easier to explain and understand,
   But hey, our government doesn’t pay me like they do for this global warming scam.

3. I had read about that years ago and had forgotten. Thanks for the refresher. People have done some interesting things.

4. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0472043/

   I recommend the Mel Gibson directed movie, Apocalypto.

   1. Agreed. Love him or hate him, Mel does make good movies.

5. Kate – Where do you find these things? Since I often work 11 to 13 hour days I come to SDA to save me time having to search for interesting articles. Thank you. Also, in Sunday school we learned the parable from 2,000 years ago of the wise man who built his house upon a rock and the foolish man who built his house upon the sand. Some things never change…

6. …and of course, the poor, marginalized areas are sinking fastest. I call BS on the whole thing.

   1. Obviously, higher taxes will solve everything.
      “Find” an emergency, via research grants, and the solution will present itself.

7. Holy shit, that site is full of so much sky-is-falling bs that it stinks up the whole place.
   Its the sciency version of everydayfeminism.com.

8. Much of the history is white washed, and accepted without much critical thought.
   For example did the Egyptians really build the pyramids? If you believe that how did they cut and carve granite second hardest natural material on earth with copper tools. Because all they had were copper tools. Same with the Incan’s. Most of what they built was built upon older megalithic ruins.

   1. Or maybe they had iron tools.

      1. The experts say they had copper at the time of the pyramids

         1. And the experts have never been wrong.

9. Their editor screwed up…they used the wrong unit of measure. They used centimeters of drop instead of millimeters…49 cm per year is 490 mm which is near 20 inches….fake news, I’m afraid. Unless it’s REALLY sinking close to 2 feet a year…that would create some real problems…

   1. I kind of wondered about that. Buildings should be toppling. LOL

10. Particularly susceptible to earthquake …

    A huge 8.1 earthquake killed 10,000 people, and injured 30,000 in 1985. Oh! The epicenter of that earthquake? … was 250 miles away! That is near the distance from Bakersfield to San Francisco. Imagine an earthquake centered in Bakersfield killing 10,000 people in San Francisco. If “science” (read: empirical experience) revealed that … wouldn’t total evacuation of San Francisco be the “moral” thing to do?

11. I was in Mexico City on the 70’s. I visited a church built in the 1600″s. It had sunk to the level equal to the middle of the front door. They had closed off the street and dug steps down for access to the church. It was also leaning forward and to the left.

    After viewing it I hopped on the subway and got to experience an earthquake tremor that stopped the power in the entire subway system. I got to walk out of the tunnel with about 2,000 other people.

    After that I stuck to visiting the jungle and the Mayan ruins on subsequent trips.

    1. Yikes! I would have soiled my clothing!

12. yea…always a “good” idea to build on water soaked land. NOT.

    Kinda like moving to the riverside in High River, Alberta and then screeching when your home floods in a period of … You guessed it, HIGH river. .?? being a Dutch guy, I kinda look back to the land where I was borne….houses in the polders are almost always built with flooding in mind. Built so that as water rises – so does the house.

13. So couple that with the Mexican penchant for cutting corners in construction and pocketing the difference in costs incurred. What could possibly go wrong?

14. Those volcanic cones in the old drawing aren’t mere artistic licence. Satellite images shown loads of them all around, including some inside the urban zones (there are some active biggies not far off). Messing with the water table and altering the ground density seems unwise.
