Spooky 'time traveller from the year 5,000' warns cities will be submerged due to climate change

A man claiming to be a time traveller from 3,000 years in the future claims to have photographic proof the world’s megacities will end up submerged hundreds of feet underwater in the future.

The mysterious time lord, known only as Edward, told ApexTV he had been part of top-secret experiments which fired him into the year 5,000 back in 2004.

There, he found an eerie world where the effects of climate change had brought forth apocalyptic change.

According to the video, Edward was sent from a lab in Los Angeles to the same location thousands of years in the future.

There, he stood atop a wooden platform and observed the Californian metropolis covered in a body of water, according to the Daily Mirror.

He said: "I will tell you a story which will amaze you and you will be astonished.

"I appeared to 'place'. It was unbelievable.

"I was standing on a huge wooden platform. Not only me, houses, building, of course, all made from wood. And after, I realised it was the same city, Los Angeles, but underwater."

Edward also claimed that he had spoken with people who live there, who told him the flood had happened due to global warming.

The video has sparked mass debate online, with hundreds questioning his claims but experts from Nasa have stated such mysterious powers are 'impossible'.

According to Nasa: "Although humans can't hop into a time machine and go back in time, we do know that clocks on airplanes and satellites travel at a different speed than those on Earth.

"We can't use a time machine to travel hundreds of years into the past or future.

"That kind of time travel only happens in books and movies.

"But the math of time travel does affect the things we use every day, for example, GPS satellites."
