Here’s the view of the future in a new science museum according to the Telegraph. No mention if NYC’s West Side Highway will be underwater or not. They call it the “Day after tomorrow map”.
The article by Louise Gray says:
The apocalyptic map was launched by Government ministers at the opening of a new exhibition at the Science Museum.
‘Prove it – everything you need to know to believe in climate change’ is aimed at educating the public about the dangers of uncontrollable global warming.
The ‘Day After Tomorrow’ map shows what the world will look like if temperatures rise beyond four degrees C (7 degrees F). It was produced by the Met Office, that predicts temperature rises may reach the dangerous tipping point by 2060 unless more is done to cut greenhouse gas emissions.
The map is designed to get the public behind a global deal on climate change to be agreed in Copenhagen this December. It will also be used by the Foreign Office to persuade other countries to sign up to a deal that will see all major economies forced to cut their emissions.
It shows the threat of global warming around the world. In the UK temperatures could rise above 40 degrees C (104 degrees F) in the summer, droughts will threaten crops in the South East, sea levels rises will affect coastal areas and floods will be commonplace in the winter.
The Government has recently been criticised for “scaremongering” the public in a £6 million advertising campaign that warns man-made climate change will risk the future of our children unless action is taken.

Map name: “Day After Tomorrow Map in 15 million – 100,002,060 years: possibly the next natural “Hothouse Age”” – thank you Bill Illis:

It’s 100% vicious propaganda and someone should start a legal procedure to revoke it.
As I said before, Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Pol Pot would turn red from envy if would have known about this scheme.
15 million – 1,002,060 yrs!! To err is all mine!
15 million – 100,002,060 , right the first time.
I don’t see any warming happening for the foreseeable future. I’m diappointed that the once respected Science Museum should publish such one-sided propaganda about the climate debate. Perhaps public funding should now be withdrawn?
Sorry to say, but UK is world leader in this silliness now. Why it happened, after its rich history of scientific inventors, polar scientists, mountain climbers?
Ah yes, a big Science Museum push just in time for the schools’ half-term holiday. Imperial War Museum anyone? At least the latter shows the realities of living under fuel and food rationing.
As long as publicly funded entities continue to put their stamp on this CRAP, the more the public (and politicians) will quit questioning it. Until we start seeing more scientists and heads of public science institutes come out of the closet as skeptics, we are going to see more and more of this crap. As much as some here think the tide is turning, I see us losing the battle. Unfortunately we continue to get pushed off into a corner and painted as wackos. Sorry to sound so pessimistic, but I’m starting to lose confidence that the majority of our politicians will see things our way. This regardless of the fact that the general public has a healthy skepticism. Sorry to rant, but I feel a bit better now.
An expat Yank[Massachusetts],I’ve been living in the UK since 1981.My interest in the warming debate began several years ago with wind turbines, at first assuming the technology to be a viable energy source based upon what I read in the MSM.An article in The Sunday Telegraph by Christopher Booker presented a different view thus I began looking on The Web for alternative sources of information finding,among others,WUWT.Aside from C.Booker,the Telegraph features Louise Gray and Geoffrey Lean as environmental commentators both of whom could, judging from the content of their articles, be job sharing with George Monbiot of The Guardian.Finding a rational view of climate science in the British media would appear to as difficult as in that of the US.
Of course it is. We’ve got a guy with the title, “Minister for Climate Change”, or something equally idiotic. He has to justify the existence of his position with pointless motion. Typically for New Labour, he’s got bugger all experience in the world outside of politics, including business. For balance, we need a “Minister for Doubting Climate Change”, also in the Cabinet, who can counter the silliness. If the silliness continues, I’m afraid I’m going to have to think about emigrating to the US. Oh… wait……..

“Name one prediction that proved to be correct”
Didn’t you notice the world ended on the stroke of midnight as the new millenium came in.
Did you miss the hundreds of thousands that died of mad cow disease.
What about all those reservoirs that would never again be full in southern England.
Oh, weren’t you obliterated by nuclear holocaust in the 60s.
Didn’t you hear Tony Blair tell you things can only get better.
You must have missed Gordon Brown abolishing boom and bust and extolling the virtues of prudence

The UK also has a history of glorious failures, and Eddy the Eagle is perhaps the silliest and Pen Hadow a close second.
Where are the traditional British skeptics? It seems that people who virtually invented skepticism (and passed on to North Americans) have been brainwashed out of existence.
The chart makers should brush up on their English for knowing the difference between “affects” ( a verb) and “effects” (both a noun and a verb). The chart should read “Effects on the UK”.
Eddy was having a go;Hadow has an agenda.
Wonder if they will put up a map depicting the drop in temperatures as predicted by Dr. Landscheidt? His prediction before his death was that we are at the beginning of a cooling trend that won’t hit bottom until 2030.
“We need not wait until 2030 to see whether the forecast of the next deep Gleissberg minimum is correct. A declining trend in solar activity and global temperature should become manifest long before the deepest point in the development. The current 11-year sunspot cycle 23 with its considerably weaker activity seems to be a first indication of the new trend, especially as it was predicted on the basis of solar motion cycles two decades ago. As to temperature, only El Niño periods should interrupt the downward trend, but even El Niños should become less frequent and strong. ”
So far the good doctor has been pretty spot on: Weak Solar cycle 24, weaker than expected El Nino, just to name two.
More fear mongering nonsense parading around as science courtesy of government bureaucrats.

Made my comment yesterday. I used Soden & Held who basically said models are bollocks & they’re warmers far as I can tell.

weaker than expected El Nino
Do you see any?

Both sides and the center of the south pacific ocean being cold it is not neither la nina nor el nino, but, I guess, the Landscheidt Minimum stalking our carbon foot prints.

@Curiousgeorge We have already hit De Stableization. We are up to our knees in what you find in stables. I.e. horseshit from the global whacko division.
Well: I tried clicking the “Count Me Out” button. I got the message “To be counted out, just tell us who you are*. We’ll pass the results on to the government to let them know where you stand.”. OK, I’m game. I put in my name and e-mail address, but was told that I could not be counted as the e-mail addrees isn’t valid. I wish I’d known that as I have been using it for the past 6 years.

Well RoyJ, since you’ve posted on the wrong thread, one can only assume you actually clicked the “out” button. We here on WUWT
will recall that your heart was in the right place.
The pastel orange tints are lovely and quite suggestive this time of year. I propose:

This is a link to a presentation given today by Professor Bill McGuire at the Chartered Insurance Institute in London. You do not need the voiceover – the last slide says it all.
Btw we are now climate change deniers. Usual ad hominen. Many gems but to pick one, SLR at 4 to 5 mm per year accoring to his version of Topex/Jason
Absolute refusal to debate. All part of the roll up to Copenhagen.
