Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Our underwater future: What sea level rise will look like around the globe
In November, world leaders will meet and talk about global warming and greenhouse gas emissions in Scotland, UK. Since the world is already warmer by 1.2 degrees Celsius than pre-industrial levels, we are running out of time to avoid further temperature increases, which has already caused sea level-rising and extreme weather conditions like drought, heatwaves, and super hurricanes and typhoons. If greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise beyond the middle of the century, the planet could become three degrees warmer than pre-industrial levels by 2060s or 2070s, and sea level will keep rising. China, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, and small island nations will be affected by the sea-level rise the most. If that happens, ocean-view properties may become underwater properties, streets could become water channels, and the “G” (ground level) button in elevators would be removed. Here are images of how some of the cities will look like if temperatures rise three degrees from preindustrial levels.
Compare the images of some of the cities that could be affected by the sea-level rise.
