Better build those condos on the moon and Mars quickly..

"While putting specific dates on these traumatic potential events is challenging, this timeline paints the big picture and details Earth's future based on several recent studies and the longer scientific version of the IPCC report, which was made available to LiveScience. Scientists have even speculated that a slight increase in Earth's rotation rate could result, along with other changes. Glaciers, already receding, will disappear. Epic floods will hit some areas while intense drought will strike others. Humans will face widespread water shortages. Famine and disease will increase. Earth’s landscape will transform radically, with a quarter of plants and animals at risk of extinction."

Thank goodness they found another Earth-like planet! (already old joke, eh?)

anyway, they'll need to add the 60 tonnes of mercury sitting off the coast of Norway (WWII U-sub), into their timeline too.

Norwegian coastguard wants to bury it in sand and gravel (yeah, that'll work real good).

ANyone else hear about this?

I seem to recall seeing something on-line a couple years ago about a sub that was recently found, and that it was leaking "Weapos Grade" Mercury. But they couldn't do anything with it because it was armed to the teeth with torpedoes. One false move and you've got an ecological disaster like never before.
