Climate change will force refugees to move to Antarctica by 2030, researchers have predicted.
Refugees are expected to move to Antarctica because of the rising temperatures that will see the population of the continent increase to 3.5 million people by 2040.
It’s a wet cool.
I would probably say it is Friggen Cold! But that is just me!
it would warm the cockles of my little pea pickin heart to see ALL the environmentalists and Chicken Little Climatologists settle on Antarctica. They need to start soon to avoid the coming warm weather down there. It is probably expected to get to a balmy -40 by mid summer!
Jeff Masters can relocate his web service there and use solar + wind to power his servers. Of course Biofuel would be an alternative. On a continent that large there is Shirley lots of vegetation for that! 8)
The farmers from Greenland will know how to til the ice.

They’re supposed to lay on 3.5 million permanent residents within about 30 years when there is no existing or forseeable infrastructure or means of support for any permanent population. Are we supposed to believe that they get the ball rolling on this mass migration in like 2035?
I can see Schwarzy’s troubled career return hit a hotspot there – “Antarctic City, 2030”, with Eva Longoria as the Evil Exxon Queen and Justin Timberlake the converted Former Skeptic
Jim Hansen has already started building his summer home in Antarctica.
Solar powered, especially in winter?
These people are insane. It most likely won’t, but let’s say for the sake of argument that the temperature rises 1-2 degrees F between now and 2040 (that’s just 29 years in the future, remember). Would ANYONE at all move to Antarctica? Do these people even know what the laugh test is?
