So basically, the Bible knew that people could see stars, that nations tend to go to war, and that... water is wet.
Wow.

That 'specifically predicts' nothing. It's just one of many indistinct predictions that could, and no doubt will, be applied to anything bad that occurs in the world.
Assuming God exists, and He actually does have foreknowledge of disasters and calamities, He must be pretty annoyed with the authors of the Bible. His wisdom has effectively been boiled down to, 'Some bad shit's gonna go down, the sky and the sea'll be, like, whuushhhhhhh, and people'll be, like, woahhhhh, and Christians'll be all, "Yeah, dude."'

" If the Bible is not divine, how could they have specifically predicted climate change thousands of years in advance?"
Because any fuckwit can tell that...uh...water goes wooosh?
Also, how is thousands of years the near future? Especially since this prediction took a third of the universe's entire history, according to you people?

This could equally be 'predicting' a comet or meteorite hit or near miss. Or an underwater or surface vulcano with associated atmospheric disturbances. Or some maybe earthquakes with landslides and tsunami - I don't know whether this could cause atmospheric changes, though.
'Signs' could even be strictly astrological in character, in which case nothing is really being 'predicted' except some stormy weather.
This is not a very specific global warming 'prediction'.

If the Bible predicts it, how come there are so many conservative Christans refusing to see that the climate is changing rapidly?
And how can you get those words to mean Global Warming? What are the signs in the sun, in the moon, in the stars? There is no change up there.
And how many other things have people interpreted that to mean, over the years? The "great" thing about prophecies are that they are so muddled and woolly that they can mean just about anything and everything, all at the same time.

You need a lot of fantasy to read this as a prophecy of global warming.
Even the prophecies of Nostradamus are more specific

That's the reason why you can never convince fundies by argument. Just a while ago, Global warming was a satanic hoax, now that they can't deny it, it's foreshadowed in the bible.
Despicable.

And there shall in that time be rumours of things going astray, and there will be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia work base, that has an attachment that will not be there. At this time a friend shall lose his friends's hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before ...

Oh that's specific alright.
It basically says, paraphrased, "something will happen!"
Incomes you declaring it a prophecy.

The old storytellers ran out of material, so they started imagining their strange dreams as visions of the future. That's no surprise.
Modern-day people who believe that shit, on the other hand,...

No, no ... that wasn't a prediction of global warming - that was a prediction of Hurricane Katrina - no, wait - it was a prediction of the Lisbon earthquake of 1755 - or, no, wait! wait! I've got it! It was a prediction of the tsunami in Indonesia!
