Pole shift closes main runway at Tampa airport
Scientists say the magnetic north pole is moving toward Russia and the fallout has reached -- of all places -- Tampa International Airport.
The airport has closed its primary runway until Jan. 13 to repaint the numeric designators at each end and change taxiway signage to account for the shift in location of the Earth's magnetic north pole.
The closure of the west parallel runway will result in more activity on the east parallel runway and more noise for residential areas of South Tampa.
The busiest runway will be re-designated 19R/1L on aviation charts. It's been 18R/36L, indicating its alignment along the 180-degree approach from the north and the 360-degree approach from the south.
Later this month, the airport's east parallel runway and the seldom used east-west runway will be closed to change signage to their new designations.
The Federal Aviation Administration required the runway designation change to account for what a National Geographic News report described as a gradual shift of the Earth's magnetic pole at nearly 40 miles a year toward Russia because of magnetic changes in the core of the planet.

Scientist: South Florida Will Be Water by End of Century
Harold Wanless, chairman of the University of Miami's Department of Geological Sciences, predicted a 1.5 foot rise in sea level in 50 years and a three- to five-foot increase by the end of the century.
"Three feet's going to get messy," he said. "Four feet becomes extremely difficult to live in South Florida and five feet probably impossible."
At two feet, South Florida would still be livable, Wanless said.
Three panels of experts spoke at a symposium held by the House Environmental Resources Council and three related committees.
Climate change will figure into comprehensive energy and environmental policy legislation the lawmakers will be considering during the 2008 legislative session, said Council Chairman Stan Mayfield, R-Vero Beach.
Some legislators, though, questioned whether Florida could do much to reduce carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses, spewed mostly from power plants and vehicle exhausts, that contribute to global warming. That's because Florida emits only 1 percent of those gasses worldwide.

Interesting. I don't believe in "global warming." Could Florida be gone by 2030?

This is obviously an April Fools gag cause the polar shift doesn't work that way, its a gradual shift that we wouldn't even be able to tell was happening until it was well under way there would be no instantaneous effects

No.
This is not a joke and you're wrong.

" @King Saturn: I'll be 119 in 2099 so I'll most likely be dead "really ? you dont think they will have medicine and supplements by like 2050 that could easily prolong life a little longer... I would hope so... personally
" @King Saturn: EH, I figure by 80 I'll have done everything I want to do in life so I dont need to live past that "well alrighty then...
I would hope I can live to 200 years old... and be having good sex well into my 180's... lol
