C'mon, he keeps mentioning he's in Hawaii. Surely he knows about the formation of the islands. Surely he knows that the Leeward Islands were once much larger, and that
Loihi is rising. Surely he knows that the movement of plate tectonics is being constantly measured, in fact, GPS is taking measurements. A quick Google search will show
that the Cocos and the Nazca plates are moving 4-6 inches each year. The continents "float" on magma. Hawaiians know this. He's trolling.
I try not to attribute to malice what can be explained by indefatigable ignorance.
