Global Warming Mug

You have a choice. You can drink your tea or coffee from an 'I Love Kittens' or 'Go Packers' mug, or you can help save the world with this Global Warming Mug. Of course, not everyone wants to be reminded of planet-wide catastrophe during their afternoon coffee break. But if you're the type of person who confronts difficult issues even during your downtime, you should consider getting one. When you pour in hot liquid, the mug shows what will happen when the Polar Ice Caps melt - Before your very eyes, coastlines shrink and ocean levels rise, Florida dissolves and Central America all but vanishes. So show you care and buy a Global Warming Mug -- it won't fix the problem, but it will illustrate it in a really cool way.
3 1/4" diameter, 10oz.

Disappearing mugs are not dishwasher safe.

Title: Disappointed
Mar 22, 2013
I was disapplointed. The map does not change uniformly when hot liquid is poured into the mug. Some of the places don't seem to change at all. (I added the rating star only because required to. I would not buy this mug again.)

     UPG RESPONSE: The mug shows the effects of global warming on the planet. Many inland locations will not change when you add a hot beverage to the mug. However, you will notice that all of the coastlines retreat, indicating the raising of sea levels across the globe.

Title: Wow, Global Warming made fun
I love this mug, that's why I bought a replacement when my wife ruined it in the dishwasher.

Title: Global Warming Mug
This is a thought provoking item. The speed with which the action takes place is not too rapid, but rapid enough to catch one's eye, if the observer hasn't been told of what to expect. A real conversation piece. Great gift for teenage grandchildren.

Title: Good find
Our son-in-law collects different kinds of mugs. This was perfect to add to his collection. He is the MD-director of a Diabetes Center and the staff always looks for his new mugs.

Title: A big hit with our resident oceanographer.
Given as a gift to our chemical oceanographer son the mugs met with enthusiastic thanks and surprise, i.e. "Where did you ever find those?". Once the mugs made their way to the office other scientist colleagues wanted to know where they, too, could find the mug. The link to Unemployed Philosophers was promptly sent. So, based on our experience - a really great gift!

Title: Heated argument for global warming
This mug and civil liberties mug were a gift to a relative in our old-style liberal family. It was warmly appreciated and thoroughly studied, and I heard descriptions of disappearing land masses for weeks. The relative, by the way, lives in Florida.
