2012 – Doom ain’t What It Used to Be.
From Cliff High at Half Past Human…
The good news includes the thought that no continent crossing waves of 2+ kilometers height are likely to occur. However, as the expansion occurs, there will be huge waves probably as high as 800 meters or so, or near the theoretic maximum limit in wave height rising into land. So….still waves on the order of 2600 feet or more, but none that will cross the great mountain ranges. Also the good news would include only limited continental penetration by waves. And these should be predictably larger and more devastating, and flood further inland on the eastern coasts of the continents than on the west. On the other hand, the western coasts will have to deal with significant winds, and torrential amounts of water both from rains, and from tsunamis. As the ocean floors tear and thin, waves from ruptures and landform shifts will assault the coasts. For reasons too detailed to pursue here, they will be more of a problem for west coasts than east. Also volcanic eruptions, and large scale heating of the waters will result in increasing evaporation causing the ‘atmospheric rivers’ to grow in orders of magnitude.
