Ok - I'll byte ... what is the significance? There may or may not be another tsunami in the region for another 200 yrs.

Great to know that the Thai scientific community is now in tune with world geographic/ climactic events but... how about we all concentrate on immediate problems now - like justified GLOBAL WARMING???

Can we all agree to disagree that we have a problem or 50 that stems from the fact that we all refuse to believe our collective actions contribute to a major global environmentaL CATASTROPHE?
