Thanks. Check out these cool maps showing before/after views of the collision of India with Asia. That monster Sumatra earthquake was just a little blip in the overall process of plate tectonics...

Ray, the Greenland melting is trivial. Perhaps you are unaware of the extent and depth of glaciation some 15000 years ago across Europe and North America and Russia. There was a LOT of ice stacked up kilometres deep. That melting process resulted in those regions being opened up to humans. The amount of ice remaining to melt is a rinky dink bit about 3 or 4 kilometres deep over Greenland and a bit of permafrost here and there in Canada and Russia. That is NOT enough to stop the Gulf Stream which ploughed on regardless of the enormous melting going on 10000 years ago and even more recently. A piffling bit of ice turning to water on Greenland won't slow it down, let alone stop it, or cause another tsunami in Sumatra, or even an earthquake so far away. Mqurice
