Where to go: Polar ice melting (Map), Wars in the world, other possible catastrophies

Whilst it has been estimated that if all the polar ice melted (which will NEVER happen...even a huge 6 degree rise would leave the poles well below zero) you would get the same result as the illustration, we have to understand that polar ice cap melting is a very slow process.

They've been melting for years around the peripheries due to the warming climate and the sea level hasn't risen one tiny bit yet. The coast that I knew 30 years ago is still the coast.

I'm not saying that melting will not increase the sea level in future, but if it does happen it won't happen quickly.

if Moscow is to be underwater next year then it can only be from a massive flood or tsunami.

An other possibility is rain and/or melting snow/ice which will overfill the rivers. Seen that sometimes overhere in the lowlands.

I saw one photo where it seemed obvious to me that the ice had been sheared off by manmade methods. It was all over the news and I thought, well, is the emperor wearing new clothes or not?!? Any data coming from an obvious government controlled organization is immediately suspect for a double take.

The best data that seems right to me is that we are coming up against a near simultaneous periodic galactic warming force and a periodic earth mini ice age, and add in the hand of the current techno boys (scalar, etc.), and what do you get?
