Today's Hindustan Times carries an article describing how the sea has gobbled up five villages in the Indian State of Orissa. You can read the whole article here. http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?id=5ee9cbbf-6114-42d9-92c6-0f9fdeeca182 The print article also carries a picture (which is not found in the web article) of a hand pump now located on a beach. I have attached the picture to this discussion. Looks like dividend times folks.

This article says that tidal waves are what destroyed these villages. The guy that made the film is who claims that global warming is to blame, but tidal waves have been a part of nature for a very long time. This is nothing more than an act of nature, much the same as has been occurring around the globe since recorded history.
