Global Warming Mug

Underwater Kingdom

Sorry to break this to you, but global warming is your fault. In fact it's everyone's fault. Unless of course you're one of those sanctimonious celebs whose carbon footprint is non-existent because you lead a ridiculously green lifestyle. That is when you're not jetting around the globe filling your coffers with wads of cash made from a few thousand hectares of pulped rainforest.

We digress. The point is global warming is a reality we all have to face up to. But why wait twenty years to witness its devastating effects when you can watch them right now with the ingenious Global Warming Mug?

Global Warming Mug
This worryingly relevant mug-with-a-message is adorned with a map of the world. Which is nice. What isn't particularly nice is what happens when you fill the mug with a hot drink. Because as soon as the mug feels the heat, the land mass begins to disappear before your very eyes. Oceans start to spread across the coastlines as ice caps melt and water levels rise. Cripes!

Don't be surprised if you're soon dribbling your tea in morbid fascination as you watch Florida being engulfed by the Atlantic and witness Central America dissolving into a few small islands. It's enough to put you off your elevenses!

Global Warming Mug
If the Global Warming Mug doesn't shake you into action, nothing will. It really is the ideal cautionary gift for eco-unfriendly tea/coffee drinkers everywhere - and we're sure you know plenty: maybe they drive a car, maybe they're frequent flyers, maybe they use electrical appliances…hang on, that's pretty much everyone, isn't it? So unless you use renewable energy, cycle to work, recycle at home and spend your spare time planting trees, you'd better get ordering before our entire shipment melts away. It's the end of the world as we know it! Pass the biscuits.

visitor avatar Got one of these for my girlfriend at Christmas and she used it at work for the first time today (aptly, she's a flood analyst). She was upset to report that the sea levels failed to rise when she put her brew in. However, her desk flooded instead as the mug had a fine crack in it which wasn't initially visible. Obviously disappointed on two counts, but hopefully Firebox will replace it for a fresh one where most of the UK can be wiped out during her tea break....

visitor avatar It's cool but you really need to make it very clear that it's not dishwasher safe. I now have 2 mugs, a nice clear blue one and me.
Rich, Austin,TX - 17th November 2010
visitor avatar I am very disappointed with the small size of the mug, according to the description it is 13cm high but it is actually only 9cm. Had I known this I would not have ordered it as I like a large mug of tea.
Pam Raybould, Sheffield - 22nd September 2010
Firebox says: We stand corrected. We have personally measured the mug and you're right it is 9cm in height and the site has now been amended. Sorry for the inaccurate measurements and please email info@firebox.com if you wish to return the mug you have.
visitor avatar I gave it as a present and down the phone, I could hear cries of "England's gone! So has Norway! Erk, where's Siberia? Look at Bangladesh! Hudson's Bay has become Hudson's Ocean!" etc. When cold water was put in "Wales is back!" It worked perfectly :D.

visitor avatar I don't have one but I really want one lol to me this says: "you drink too much coffee, the world will die!".
Daniel, Essex - 26th November 2007
visitor avatar I bought this as a joke gift for my mum, who's a geography teacher. She absolutely loves it and enjoys scaring her pupils by showing them what might happen if they don't start to think about the environment!!
Jo, Loughborough - 9th March 2007
visitor avatar I love this mug so much!!! It's fantastic cackling away as parts of the Earth get flooded everytime I have a brew!!!...I'm not that mean...honest! =|.
Becky, Lincolnshire - 25th February 2007
visitor avatar A fantastic idea! Great for all the budding climatologists out there....
Chris, York - 5th February 2007
visitor avatar It might be random but it really is worth while, mabye it hasn't kicked me into saving the planet, but it is cool. Everyone should buy one, and watch the end of the world.
