Oh, really? Now the History Channel is making up conspiracy theories too? My God, this thing is getting worse. No, it's not true, the Sun won't be "facing" Earth, because… I don't even know what this means. Obviously it's impossible. ;-)

Uh, Tomy… the Sun 'faces' the Earth every single day, you know, what with it being the celestial body we orbit and all that…

Is the concept of daylight a doomsday claim?

Uh, I misunderstood the word "face". I thought History Channel was referring to a rare "facing". I didn't think about this, really. :-S Maybe it's this whole Camping prediction distracting me.

That should give you an idea of the lack of credibility for anything coming from the Hysteria Channel. The Sun is always facing the Earth.

alri,
No matter how much rain we have, the United States can never be submerged. There is only so much water available and it goes through the water cycle. It runs off into the rivers and is carried to the sea. It evaporates, then comes back down as rain or snow again.
We can have areas temporarily flooded when we have lots of rain, but some of it always sinks into the ground and the rest drains off to the sea.
If all the glaciers and the Antarctic ice cap melted, sea levels would rise and flood low lying coastal areas, but could never cover whole continents. Even this won't happen anytime soon. There are some really low islands that may be underwater in the not too distant future, but don't hold your breath waiting for the US to be underwater.

That means that they don't know anything about geology, plate tectonics or physics.

That is just impossible. Not going to happen.

I say that the United States will be eaten by yodeling pink gnomes from the planet Vulcan. Only a couple of states will survive this. There, I just made a statement as valid as this Hysteria channel program made.

You have got to be kidding. There comes a point in time when you know that something cannot be true because it does not hold water under common sense. This is one of those things. And I'm laughing like a madman now. Thank you for making my day.
