Okay, that’s just a silly play on the title of an essay some guy once wrote, but this development is interesting:
Scientists have warned that Africa is breaking apart faster than previously thought.
A 35-mile-long fissure in Ethiopia’s desert emerged in 2005 but has since been widening at a rate of half an inch per year.
Researchers previously believed the split would take tens of millions of years, but Ken Macdonald, a professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, told DailyMail.com that it would likely happen within one to five million years.
The separation would also create a new ocean and continent on Earth.
No doubt, someone will soon be ascribing this to Global Warming Climate Cooling Change©, because reasons.
