Spooks, on BBC, this evening gave a frightening view of what we potentially have to look forward to and fear thanks to climate change.

The plot focused on a terrorist takeover of the London barrier, threatening to flood the city and cause mass devastation and loss of life. The terrorist plan used the fact that global warming had caused a swell in the sea that would cause a mass wave to tear through London all the way to Twickenham.
The really scary part were the estimates of casualties that were mentioned. Although these are created for the fictional plot they were real cause for thought and discussion.

It makes you wonder how much research and truth there are in these programs and if such a natural disaster is just around the corner! Hopefully the episode will shock more people into thinking about climate change and the effects of global warming.
