(Dean) Global Warming What ?? Atlantis

I have just read the most interesting article on Global Warming and the notion of Atlantis. It was by truth one of the most far fetched notions, but when i do think about it, it kinda makes me laugh... then worry.

For those who don't know what Atlantis is, in short, Plato put forward the notion that there was one city that technologically and culture was far advanced in all means than ever seen before. They had this kick ass city in the middle of the ocean away from.. the rest of the world and society. Plato put forward the notion that all human life, languages, culture etc.. was formed from there and influenced. But Alas Due to some unseen events Atlantis sank beneath the oceans and the lost city was never seen again.

Now for the interesting part, I read this article on Plato's notion of Atlantis, and its links to now-a-day society. It was very "out there" i do admit but interesting. The notion that we are going to ignore global warming (kinda happening already) and the Sea levels are going to drastically rise, War will spread (oh look increasing global warming) till... well my guess is Japan because hey they like import all their wood and don't cut down their forests and are techno freaks.... Anyway till one nation thrives over the rest controlling what ever little land is left in the world due to global warming.... Kinda creating an Atlantis

Creating the last form of human existence on a floating island home in a dome.... Atlantis. Over time global warming will stabilise, Ice will form, water levels will drop... Japan, oh i mean Atlantis will add to this and then re-populate the world influencing the culture of the area's that pre-existed there millions of years ago.

Then the fun part, some eco-terrorist, or something happens and japan sinks under the water lost forever.

Hmm was Plato's notion of Atlantis a vision of the not so near future hahahah I kinda really like this theory.... i think im going to move to Japan.
