No Al Gore didn’t invent it, though he may tell us he did. The Global Warming Mug made by the people at the Unemployed Philosopher’s Guide is the most cultured and ecologically exhortative demitasse you’ll ever use. When the mug is cold or equal with the ambient room temperature the graphical display of the six inhabited continents of the globe are accurately pictured. However, if the mug is heated or warm liquid is poured in, the coast lines and estuaries of the world slowly fade away as if the polar caps of the globe were melting, thus causing a world of hurt for humans and republicans.

The global warming mug is a standard sized coffee mug able to hold a little over a cup or 250ml of liquid.  The item is microwave safe but you probably want to keep it away from the evil dishwasher.  The transformation works well and looks cool; even with boiling water the map morphs at an even pace so that you can appreciate the novel effect.  I wonder if the clever people over at the unemployed philosophers guide can collect unemployment?  Well, hopefully they don’t need to, they’ve got a lot of great products including the global warming mug.
