Better watch out for China coming over to claim it.
Historical engravings in the tomb of Qin Shi Huang depict him foreseeing the rise of an island off the coast of Japan 2234 years after his death, to be claimed by his successors.
I can’t tell if this is real and china is already calling dibs, or if you made it up right now.
What’s the Chinese character for dibs?
So fucking stupid they try and pull that shit lol
Dibs.
Facebook comments be like “why are we sending money to Japan to build an island? We deserve the new island more! America first!”
Who is calling dibs
Already called my land agent.
This is probably not good news, but damn, that’s fuckin cool
Why, is it dangerous?
At this point, I’m assuming it’s a symptom of some kind of environmental catastrophe
I don’t think Valcanos are effected by climate change. They do release a fair amount of CO2 and can effect climate change, but I don’t think the other direction has any effect. Maybe fracking or something can cause it, but this kind of thing is expected to happen frequently in this area. It’s nothing to be concerned about.
The CO2 isn’t the problem, it’s the sulfur gases. They basically do the opposite of CO2. When Krakatoa errupted, it lowered global temperatures by 0.5 C. It canceled summer and caused famines. When large volcanoes erupt they don’t cause a climate catastrophe, they ARE the climate.
Anyway, here’s a neat video so you’re not just believing a stranger on the internet.
Given the current situation, a little global temperature lowering would be very welcome.
Need a Bond villain to set off their volcano lair
Here, we can see another illustration of the difference in philosophy between the modern Chinese and Japanese production and manufacturing culture. Japanese island architects have been carefully cultivating this undersea mount for generations, using painstaking traditional techniques, which are only now showing true signs of paying off; in contrast, Chinese island architects almost exclusively stick to rapid-fill dredging combined with concrete pours on top of coral reefs, which are generally considered to be a far less elegant and lower quality way of producing an island.
