Dyer Predictions: The Gee-Gees

While surfing around I came across a new fun sounding acronym that’s anything but: the Gee-Gees. No it’s not a name of another band , and it gives a surreal meaning to the phrase ‘stayin alive’. It stands for Global Geophysical events, and according to Gwynne Dyer, there’s nothing much anyone can about them when they come.

One such Gee-Gee is a mega tsunami awaiting the Atlantic Ocean. Scientists believe that if a volcano erupts in La Palma in the Canary Islands, it would create a huge landslide that would cause waves as high as 165 feet to hit the East Coast. Some speculate that as many as 150 million would die from such a catastrophe. Of course given enough time, warned people could evacuate to higher grounds before the waves reach shore. The Asian tsunami took nearly two hours to reach Indian peninsula. The distance from the Canary Islands to New York or Boston is much greater. But what if all of this happened in the middle of a sever winter blizzard? Not only will avoiding the crushing waves be difficult, but also rescue efforts in the immediate aftermath, where seconds count, would be severely hindered. Sounds like a plot for another Hollywood disaster movie.

As for reality, ‘other’ scientists dispute these findings as overblown. They say the landslide of the volcanic island would happen in stages and the island would sink, if it actually did, gradually and hence cause mini, not mega, tsunamis.
