The prediction for the next 50-75 years if the current trend continues is that ocean levels will rise 30-40 feet worldwide. Europe will fall back into an ice age, resulting in 30-40 degrees lower temperatures there. Southern Africa will become desert just like northern Africa. Much of the United States will also become desert just like the Southwest. Much of Southeast Asia and the Southeast United States will be under water. And overall, the supply of drinking water worldwide will become much smaller.

Regardless of what you believe the cause is, this is what is going to happen in the next 50-75 years if the trend of the last 30 years continues.

The best part of this discussion is that everyone is supposed to believe it. In fact:

The Weather Channel’s (TWC) Heidi Cullen, who hosts the weekly global warming program "The Climate Code," is advocating that the American Meteorological Society (AMS) revoke their "Seal of Approval" for any television weatherman who expresses skepticism that human activity is creating a climate catastrophe.

So, if a person doesn't believe (something that can't be proven), then they shouldn't be certified. Nothing like free-thinking and free-speech, eh? Why would there be a need for that if it's so obvious?

Sorry boys and girls, it is a natural progression....Gore can blame it on whatever he wants. All these stats and guesstimates are just that...nothing more. Humans love to pretend they can see into the future. FYI, if the Earth is that far gone (75 yrs from now) nothing...I repeat nothing you do now will stop that inevitability.

If this is natural progression, it is something that has never been seen before in the planet's history.

It was just a comment....Eric, I know "Global Warming" has more effects....It was just a rhetorical statement....

Nevertheless, I think I find it funny that the E90 has red turn signals, the E92 coupe has amber turn signals, E60 has amber turn signals, and now the E70 X5 has red turn signals.

Therefore, global warming is all Bangle's fault.

Oh no, red turn signals. Someone will quit the board again now...

Damn, now he's "Bangle-ized" the whole world?

I knew he got bumped up the chain at BMW, but I didn't realize how high!

I'll throw back to the earlier posts....

I love how we all pull this 200 years of history out of our collective @sses to defend topics like "look what is happening now". It is natural, if it weren't there would have never been an ice age or transitional effect in the Earths' history. Places such as the Grand Canyon prove the FACT that the world has changed many times with many differing weather patterns. My point is, accusing man kind of being the full cause of earthly changes is political or agenda based BS. The earth has always been in a state of flux and it always will be regardless of what humans do. Do we exacerbates the condition? Sure, that is a by product of LIVING. Similar to how a cows, ah...movement so to speak...results in a by product considered "bad" for the environment. Stats which come and go with the tide, saying that "..in XX amount of time this will happen" is crap, IMHO. And the earlier post that opened saying where was the global warming cause it was so cold is justified...because the science keeps changing (almost as much as the climate).

For the longest time scientists said that greenhouse gases were warming the planet, causing a whole in the ozone and that is why the ice caps were melting. Then they said, wait...maybe this is a natural effect...now were back on the humans are the cause tip. Global warming is about as hard to define as whether an egg is good for you or not. So until some one can actually define, without theory the proven evolution of the planet....I'm taking all these "scientific findings" with a grain of salt. But hey...that's just me.
