I am just amazed at this news article. The 8.0 earthquake that caused the Solomon Island tsunami apparently uplifted a significant portion of the island Ranongga, exposing coral reefs, and changing the entire environment of that island. As a result of the uplift, the numerous coral reefs are now above the ocean level, and are dying everyday without the nutrients the ocean provided.
All this shows is that despite our best attempts living in, on and with the Earth, there are still events that, no matter what we do or don't do, it simply will not matter. The Earth will do what it wants.
