Category: Climate Horror Nonsense
From the Sunday Hun:
Warming to Melbourne's waterworld
THIS is how Melbourne will look if all the world's ice melts.
but...
The tale of the hypothetical map, drawn by Australia's Bureau of Rural Sciences, is unlikely to come true -- all the Earth's major ice masses would need to melt.
Scientists predict the planet's average temperature would have to increase by more than 20C, and even then the process would take at least 10,000 years.
and...
CSIRO research scientist John Church said experts found that for the biggest ice mass, the East Antarctic ice sheet, to melt, global warming "far more than thought possible under any scenario of climate change currently under consideration" would have to occur.
So... the article in summary goes somehing like this:

Australia's Bureau of Rural Sciences wanted to create a State of Fear in the community about the threat of global warming so they created this map that illustrates what cannot possibly happen, not now, not in tens of thousands of years.

Are you afraid now?
