sink holes

[oldgent]

should we be concerned ? they are appearing all over the world, is this connected to Global Warming ?

I applauded the Japanese Policeman seen putting cones around the sink hole. (removed)

Yes and I would be more concerned over worrying about events beyond your control.

Its the illuminati ,Aliens and the Rothschilds all combined into a super volcano of global warming the holes are vortex to another world just ask David Icke he'll put you right, dark matter, supernova meteorite extinctions all coming soon........I reckon.

Im cowering under the table right now and i think I just peed myself

You get a like from me because I like your Avatar and your funny response. For adult diapers check out aisle 5.

Thanks, I sent the staff out and am wearing the diapers on my head, it serves 2 purposes, 1st it protects my head and 2nd as I usually talk crap it should also help with that

It is because we take so much oil and coal from the ground it leaves a void and will eventually collapse in on it self.

Sink holes occur everywhere and anywhere and have done so throughout Geological History.

They are generally a result of subsurface erosion - in the recent case (the video was from China I believe), the road construction is very poor, it is unlikely that groundwater was diverted.

We are seeing more of these issues for the following reasons:

1) We are covering more of the planet, changing subsurface water patterns - simple increased probability

2) Increased population - we need more land to live on, we will see more of these events - simple increased probability

3) Social Media - records more of these events

4) Poorer / Cheaper construction, bypassing regulations in developing nations

5) Reduction of Cost vs Risk involved in construction & Design.
