Global warming

One Nostradamus quatrain has been understood to be about climate change.

He wrote: “Like the sun the head shall sear the shining sea. The Black Sea’s living fish shall all but boil. When Rhodes and Genoa. Half-starved shall be. The local folk to cut them up shall toil.”

Experts have interpreted this prophecy as being about the rising sea temperatures that have been recorded over the past few years and the ultimate outcome of global warming.
