It is quite obvious that the world is significantly changing the way it acts and looks. One obvious change is "Global Warming". The earth is heating up and the ice is melting at an alarming rate. I live near the south east coast of England and it has been said that in as little as 50 years the whole of east Anglia (south east England) will be underwater.
There are a lot of opinions and views on the reason and cause of global warming, one is that it is caused by 'Man' and pollution, And the other is that it is caused by a natural change in the earth.
Many years ago we had the 'Ice Age' in which a large amount of earth was well below freezing and covered in ice.
After a while the earth began to change and heat up, all the ice began to melt and changed dramatically, Eventually bringing us to the way in which the earth appears today.
So why can't it happen again? Maybe the earth has already began to slide into another change. Scientists have said that we are well over due for an ice age. But what if it started to happen in reverse? And the earth instead of cooling down, simply began to heat up. Melting all the ice that is left at the poles and turning into water.
Eventually the world would be massively covered in water. There is probably not enough to cover the earth 100% but i believe it could cover a good 90%+ of the world.
So, my theory is that we are heading for a new age, The 'Water Age'. We have all seen those cartoons and sci-fi films where they go to the future and everyone lives under water. Sure this is just 'Make believe' But what if it actually ends up coming true?
At the rate of which the world is changing we might all be underwater within say 150 - 200 years from now.
But hey... Just a theory ^_^
