Global warming or climate change is on the rise. The increasing temperature of the Earth’s climate system not only determines our weather patterns but even the existence of the places we live. Here are some places in the world that will disappear in the next century!

9. New Orleans
Hurricane Katrina was a disaster that New Orleans is still recovering from. Some experts believe the state of Louisiana may have the highest sea level rise compared to everywhere else in the world. The Big Easy sits at a shallow sea level, and it is already sinking. By the end of the 21st century, the Gulf of Mexico will surround the city.


8. Mount Kilimanjaro
This iconic landscape in Tanzania has an elevation of 19,341 feet or 5,895 meters. Sure, we don’t necessarily have to worry about sea levels drowning out this mountain, but we should fear that 85% of the ice that covers the highest peak in Africa is now gone. It’s predicted that the glacier will remain on the mountain until 2020. That’s only a year away!


7. The Maldives
Big cities around the world are riddled with pollution. Secluded islands like the Maldives are beloved because of the cleaner environment and pleasant temperatures. It goes to show that climate change does not discriminate. The Maldives is a low-lying area. To get the point across that it’s facing the danger of disappearance, the president and his cabinet held a press conference underwater--and that was in 2009!



6. The Hague
The Hague is a city in the western Netherlands. It’s Inner Court complex serves as the seat of the Dutch Parliament. Last year, the government ordered an increase in carb emissions cuts to fight against global warming. The Hague will be one of the most affected of the cities in Europe should the looming disasters of global warming ensue. The sea levels here would rise 8.2 or 9.8 feet or 2.5 to 3 meters by 2100.


5. Sacramento
Wouldn’t coastal cities in Northern California like San Francisco and Oakland be more at risk in regards to the increase of water compared to Sacrament? The answer is “yes,” but the effects of the rising ocean would be so harmful that it would hurt an inland city like Sacrament, too. Should the flow of the Sacramento river rise by just 2 feet or 0.6 meters, that could spell trouble for many neighborhoods.


4. Venice
There’s not quite a place like Venice anywhere else in the world. The city was built on the water as opposed to next to it. Streets need bridges to cross to the other side. Gondolas float by next to people taking a stroll on the pavement. This canal city is flooding at record-breaking levels and has been sinking for a long time now. This past fall, over 70% of the town was overpowered by water as a storm laid down heavy rain and pushed seawater closer. The highest category of floods ever recorded beforehand was between 2000 and 2013. It’s estimated that Venice will sink in the next century.

3. Rio de Janeiro
Say goodbye to Copacabana! If the temperature continues to rise in Brazil, the tourist-favorite beach will be no more. Compared to everywhere else in South America, experts predict Rio de Janeiro will be the worse affected. The more heat waves and floods, the more likely diseases will occur, and more easily they will spread. The average temperate will rise just 1 degrees Celsius in 2020, and that’s more than enough to cause significant concern for one of the most densely populated cities in the world.


2. Los Angeles
Another coastal California city in danger of being submerged in water is also one of the biggest cities in the world. The sea level has risen 7 inches or 17.8 centimeters in the 20th century and even more since then. Between 1981 and 2000, the average temperature rose by 4.3 degrees Fahrenheit. The Pacific Ocean may soon engulf the sandy coastlines we’re so familiar with, including places like Santa Monica, Venice Beach, and Long Beach. Whether you’ve visited LA yourself or you’ve seen the skyline in photos, you’ve most likely noticed that curtain of smog that occasionally covers everything. Because of the dense population and amount of vehicles, pollution has become a big problem for LA. A place that was recently recovering from a terrible drought may also face extreme flooding.
