All the world-wide destruction predictions on that wikipedia snippet has only one reference from a book by this author: <a href="http://www.gregbreining.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.gregbreining.com/</a>. From his biography it seems that he is neither a geologist or any kind of scientist by profession. He is a journalist who likes to write science stuff (journalist = automatic BS alert). [ * ]<p>Not that I doubt that something like this can happen, but can anyone give any reference to study or research paper done by (and peer reviewed by) _actual_ scientists? It would probably give more validity to such a claim.<p>* I could be wrong about his profession, I only got those info after less than 5 minutes of googling.
