It is very thought-provoking that the recent worldwide tragedies and loss of life have been mostly caused by water.

Be that via disasters with air or sea travel, storms, tsunamis, flash-flooding and landslides, even global warming and melting ice.

Are we possibly going through another kind of mini ‘Noah’s Ark’ period?

It is without doubt that our seas dominate our world.

Even if possible in the future, we could never divert our masses of water into outer space (thus providing more land), simply because the moon and seas combined keep our planet in balance.

Is it ever conceivable that one day the seas will completely take over our lands and where we all reside now will become many fathoms below sea surface?

Never mind looking to outer space for a second refuge for planet escape, maybe instead we should be focusing towards an earth-like ‘Sea-world’.
