A place that might be lost due to global warming
Global warming is clearly not something that happened overnight. This is a gradual process of heating the earth. But during the last century, the increase in the temperature of the earth has increased significantly, and that is what is worrying.
With the practice of consumption of human population, there has been a dramatic increase in combustion of fossil fuels, which leads to an increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This increase in the temperature of the earth causes intense heat waves, melts ice and rises at sea level.
With the increase in sea level, most of the places close to the sea face the dangers of going under water. Unfortunately, many of these places are big cities. Here are some threatened places.
Jakarta, Indonesia
Jakarta is located right next to the Java Sea and has experienced erosion due to sea level rising. Add to the excessive pumping of groundwater that occurs in the city to support its population, which causes the soil to sink. So when we arrange the sinking of land and sea level rise, the end result is Jakarta under water in the near future.
New York City, USA
Surrounded by the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. This city has only experienced many natural disasters such as storms and floods. When sea level increases are combined with this natural disaster, it is very clear that, if not all, most of the city of New York can go under water in a few years from now.
Miami, USA
Research shows that at the end of this century, it is very possible that the city of Miami will go under water. Already, Miami sea level increases faster than others, which cause frequent floods and other flood related problems such as drinking water contamination and property destruction.
Venice, Italy
Venice sank quickly and had gone through some of the most serious floods ever. The city even introduced a flood barrier system throughout the city to help flood problems, but these prevention steps are not effective; In 2020, the city saw a very serious flood.
Dhaka, Bangladesh
The study shows that most of the capital city of Bangladesh will be under water in early 2050. Not only that, more than 70% of the country will face floods that have destroyed due to sea level rising. The city has faced a very large logging problem, which will only add to the problems that will be faced by people.
Rotterdam, Netherlands
More than 90% of cities are below sea level. Although the city of Rotterdam has a very large water storage system to fight floods, is to know that this water storage system will overflow after several points.
Lagos, Nigeria
The largest city in this country has a low coastline and coastline erosion is one of the biggest challenges faced by Nigeria when it comes to global warming. This will be a big task for the country to move its coastal population to a safer place. It is clear that without a few drastic precautions, it is impossible to stop the destruction of the city quickly towards.
Bangkok, Thailand
With a city that is currently sinking at a level of more than 1 cm a year, Bangkok faces a serious threat to go under water, faster than people can think of.
