“Australia is the only island continent on the planet, which means that changes caused by planet-warming pollution - warmer seas, which can drive stronger storms, and more acidic oceans, which wreak havoc on the food chain - are even more deadly here.” MeanSeaPlanetsOceanStrongerStormChainsIslandsAustraliaPollutionContinentsHavocFood Chain Author:Jeff Goodell
“Our lives are waves that come up out of the ocean of eternity, break upon the beach of earth, and lapse back to the ocean of eternity. Some are sunlit, some run in storm and rain; one is a quiet ripple, another is a thunderous breaker; and once in many centuries comes a great tidal wave that sweeps over a continent; but all go back to the sea and lie equally level there.” LifeRunningEarthLyingLevelsBreakOur LivesSeaCenturyQuietOceanRainEternityWaveCome UpStormBeachContinentsRippleLapsesTidal Waves Author:Austin O'Malley
“The sea erupted. Often the sea and land changed places. The immobility of contours of continents and seas, a dogma in geology, has no basis in fact. And immediately there is the problem of the climate. There were ancient climates that were very different from what they are today. If those corals grew where they were found, certainly the Earth was not travelling with the same elements of rotation and revolution which means not in the same orbit, not with the axis directed in the same position as it is today. If you don't believe it, try to conservate corals on the North Pole.” IfsTryingBelieveMeanDifferentFactsProblemTodayEarthFoundSeaLandPositionChangedRevolutionGrewElementsBasesClimateDon't BelieveAncientDogmaContinentsGeologyOrbitAxesRotationNorth Pole Author:Immanuel Velikovsky
“Think of the majesty of that moment in this dying world's history, when Jesus Christ declared that to the Christian death was only a sleep. Outside of that small dwelling in Capernaum, a great race of men rushed and toiled as they harassed continents and seas; mighty events marshaled themselves into annals and pageants. What was inside? In one inconspicuous chamber of a now forgotten house, man's Redeemer, unobserved, martyred man's final enemy. There Immanuel subdued death forever.” ThinkingMenWorldMomentsChristianHouseJesusChristSleepRaceEnemyForeverSeaDyingEventsJesus ChristFinalsForgottenThat MomentContinentsChamberMajestyDwellingRedeemerPageantMartyredGreat Race Author:Charles Seymour Robinson

“Birds were flying from continent to continent long before we were. They reached the coldest place on Earth, Antarctica, long before we did. They can survive in the hottest of deserts. Some can remain on the wing for years at a time. They can girdle the globe. Now, we have taken over the earth and the sea and the sky, but with skill and care and knowledge, we can ensure that there is still a place on Earth for birds in all their beauty and variety - if we want to...

“Europe has an incredibly long, bloody history based on an excess of nationalism which has also created a lot of amazing art. The issue is that America also imported a lot of that wholesale, dropped it onto this other big continent over the sea, and that's worked really well so far, but my view is that a little breather is necessary to make sure that - because Europe is about to fall, Sweden is going, Germany is going, France is going, America is going to be the preserver of that inheritance.” WellsLittlesLongArtBigsAmericaFallViewsIssuesSeaEuropeFranceGermanyNationalismExcessContinentsBloodyInheritanceSwedenWholesale Author:Milo Yiannopoulos
