That is really scary to think that over time cities are going to go under. But we could try to stop global warming so it doesn’t happen. The truth scares me!!!!!!

OMG that is so scary! I’m just wondering now what will happen to all the electronics that are meant to help us surivive. Won’t they just break when they contact water??

Yes it’s a nice graphic but not so beautiful information.
I remember the film “An Inconvenient Truth.

yeah the grean house effect is coming into action i guess, so is all this stuff of rise in sea water level.

Nice Blog. Thanks for sharing this nice information
You must remember that information can be ugly as well.

Thanks

Illustrating this increases the challenges of designing a great graphic of course!

when we had a devastating tsunami around 5years back, the amount of sea level changes took place was just infinite. in most of the areas sea and beaches went back and gave space to more land

You should look at this if you want to review sea levels….

It’s a nice graphic, but putting aside the various points above about the topography of different cities, I think it misses one of the most important aspects of the risk of sea level rise. The sea level goes up and down all the time due to tidal and weather conditions. The biggest concern about rising mean sea level is that it will increase the frequency of extreme high water events, so that the risk of a damaging flood becomes much greater. Flood defences designed to protect against a one in a thousand year event become vulnerable to (say) a one in ten year event.

Illustrating this increases the challenges of designing a great graphic of course! But it would be interesting to try to bring in that element of risk or frequency.

The impacts of sea level rise – even in the lower ranges of the current predictions – looks to be severe. Approximately ten percent of the worlds population – 600 million people – live in low lying areas in danger of being flooded.
