Just wait until the next time the axis suddenly shifts- global warming
will seem pretty insignificant.


And when did it "suddenly" shift its axis? I wouldn't call thousands, or
millions, of years "suddenly". Compared to human lives that's almost an
eternity.
In a later post in this thread someone is talking about the magnetic poles
switching and how it will be something to see. This is another event that
will take thousands of years, and one generation, or ten, won't see a
significant change. Magnetic pole switching won't serve as an excuse when
you put your boat up on the rocks like that photo you posted.

You need to look elsewhere for a disaster scenario; how about $10/gallon gas
or beer at $50 per six-pack?
