A secret report, suppressed by US defence chiefs and obtained by The Observer, warns that major European cities will be sunk beneath rising seas as Britain is plunged into a 'Siberian' climate by 2020. Nuclear conflict, mega-droughts, famine and widespread rioting will erupt across the world.


This article is from 2004. Do you think this is going to happen? Or do you think the alarmists were (and are) full of shit like always?

    Is this a reaction to Mattis acknowledging that climate change is a legitimate threat to geopolitical stability?

    That settles it then. Global warming is a hoax.

    I don't know who Mattis is, so I'll say no.

    I'm not saying it's a hoax. I'm saying the alarmists are full of shit. It's like drugs. Yes, drugs alter the chemicals in your brain. But they aren't nearly as bad as people say. And in a lot of ways, they can be good.

    People that exaggerate the problems like this create more skeptics. Glacial melt will raise sea levels, but it's obviously not happening at the rate many claim.

    People that are worried about the environment are the biggest pussies of all.


    I don't give a fuck if some country disappears under the sea or a rainforest becomes smaller.

    That's what I don't get about deniers. I'm not a denier, I just literally don't give a shit.

    When I can't breathe outside sure, then I'll care.

    I agree the earth is warming and that the glaciers are melting at a high rate. But the sea levels aren't rising. If you want to attribute ocean acidity to the warming, you may have something there. But there are also other factors at work there as well. This big blue marble has experienced big swings in climate even in our recorded history.

    But now that the EPA is being threatened I suppose libtard needs to over dramafy this issue as well.

    If it does happen, "GURGLE" will become one of the most popular things to say.

    pretending like we're all going to die in 40 years is just as dumb as denying the problem entirely.

    Maybe NASA forgot about evaporation.

    Just enjoy your life.

    All the alarmists fly all over the world spouting all their shit while having cell phones that has all types of metals in them dug out of the Earth, computers that end up in land fill, shop at trader Joe's which keeps big oil in business with all their food double wrapped in plastic. Don't forget the plastic kayaks while blocking oil tankers.

    We all know were fucked, we just hope it doesn't happen while alive. We have Husky football to watch, I don't need climate change getting in the way.
