30 US cities that go under water to 2060

The steady increase in global temperatures observed since the 1880s is largely attributable to human activities. As temperatures rise, the world's ice is melting—and sea levels are rising. As a result, barring major interventions, sooner or later thousands of coastal communities around the world will become uninhabitable.

The latest estimate, published this June in the scientific journal Nature, showed that Antarctica is melting three times faster than in the 2007 year, and previous forecasts may have underestimated the slow extinction of the continent.

According to the 2017 survey of the year, if carbon growth and ice melting continue at current rates, global sea levels may increase by about 8 feet to the 2100 year.

According to NOAA scientists, the flood tides on the coast of the United States this year could surpass the typical 20 flood years ago by as much as 60%.

According to data from US coastal cities, over the next 30 years, according to UCS analysis and forecasts, more than 300 000 homes totaling $ 117,5 billion are likely to be at risk of flooding.
