Don't fall off your chairs laughing, everybody, but there is an
article in today's (Tuesday) Sun which is blaming the weekend's gales
and heavy rain on the tsunami!

Astrophysicist Piers Corbyn believes the tsunami "could have an effect
on the weather".
He is quoted as saying: "The immediate effect is that it has put a lot
more water on the land. This will evaporate more quickly and so make
the atmosphere damper."

It's a "big fear haunting weather scientists". The article is on P25
if anyone is chomping at the bit to buy a copy!!

I worry for the future of this nation when I hear about such scientific
ignorance.

I heard some report saying the quake that caused the tsunami was so great it
shifted the earths axis of rotation by an inch or something - is that true,
and how on earth (lol) do you measure something like that on a planetary
scale!?
