Oh man, this one has it all. Women and minorities hit hardest, numbers so high they scare people on mountaintops, and even threatening the oilfields so those non-believers get nervous too.

"Last year UN climate change experts initially predicted more modest rises of 18 to 59 centimetres (7.2 to 23.2 inches), but in a final version of their report left the upper limit open-ended due to mounting scientific evidence that levels might climb much higher."

All I can do is LOL and pity the people who actually believe this *&^%.

“West Africa’s coastline redrawn by climate change”

Are they sure it isn’t plain old genocide that’s redrawing the coastlines? :(

It’s not wise to build to close to any body of water. Rivers, lakes, the ocean, can all rise and flood you out.

Despite that fact, people flock to the water’s edge.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had not taken into account the potential impact of runoff from the 3,000-metre (1.9 mile) thick Greenland ice cap, which covers an areas three times the size of Nigeria.

Probably because that ice cap is getting thicker, not thinner.

I've often wondered what the African coastline looked like back when the Vikings settled Greenland, and there wasn't an icecap....
