Consequence?

Just a quick thought.

There have been four earthquakes and two volcanic eruptions in approximately a 3 month time span. That's quite a lot of violent seismic activity in a relatively short space of time.


It's often said that if a butterfly flaps its wings, it can affect the weather in a totally different part of the world; it's called the butterfly effect, part of chaos theory. Now, i don't claim to know a lot about chaos theory but, if a little butterfly can have that much influence on a global scale, what kind of effect do these have...?


They're man made islands just off the beaches of Dubai.

With my limited knowledge of chaos theory and global seismic activity, I've been pondering: Arrogantly placing a substantial amount of land in a place where there wasn't any, so you can have you're own little piece of paradise, just cos you can... That is going to have some effect on the rest of the planet surely?!

Like I said,
just a thought.
