It's not the end of the world. Remember, the earth is oooooooooooooooooooooooooooold.
The earth isn't a static system, things are going to move, change, burn, flood, shake, etc.
A few holes in the ground and a giant wave doesn't mean some fairy-tale (ie religion) is going to suddenly come true.
Somewhere, some dickhead is always convinced the world is gonna end "any day now".
AFAIK we're 4000 years over-due for an ice age....
Sorry to be cynical, but I don't think anything special is happening here. Same shit, different millenium.
