...powers behind globalisation ? With ice sheets melting at an unprecedented rate and far quicker than anyone predicted, the inevitable massive and rapid increase in sea levels will kill millions and wipe out whole countries. If we are to survive at all the whole map of the world will need to be re-drawn, areas previously uninhabitable will need to be colonised and vast natural resources will become available for exploitation. At present only a few developed first world nations have the technical ability and resources to be able to make the move to these areas and sustain themselves until they adapt. Eventually billions will die and the planets population will be enormously reduced providing those that manged to survive the change and migration to temperate and habitable climes, with the opportunity for vast wealth and ultimate control of the worlds lands, peoples and natural resources Is this the real reason why climate change proposals are always fudged and workable agreements never reached ?
