10 Places Around the World Slowly Disappearing Due to Climate Change

Everywhere the effects of global warming can be seen, and as these ten places slowly disappear due to climate change, time is running out.

Some of the most stunning and well-known locations on earth are seriously at risk due to the real and present danger and effects of global warming. Some of the world's wonders may be out of reach for younger people as well as future generations.

Here are 10 places on Earth that are disappearing as a result of climate change and global warming.

1. Venice

Given that the process of subsidence as well as sea level rise is gradual and influenced by several factors, it is challenging to pinpoint an exact timeframe for when Venice will become submerged in water.

However, experts have warned that if current patterns continue, the city may be in danger of being submerged by the sea as soon as 2100, Venezia Lines says.

2. Alpine Glaciers

If global warming is not stopped, only glaciers higher than 4000 meters will be left of the Alpine Glaciers by the century's end, or even earlier. There will no longer be perennial snow to occur in the summer.

3. Antarctica

The melting of ice at the North Pole causes Arctic amplification, which causes temperatures to rise even more. This further speeds up the melting of ice.

Sea levels would rise by 6 meters in just several years as a result of the Antarctic Peninsula joining together.

4. Amazon forest

According to Amazon Conservation, the Amazon is approaching the point at which it will no longer be able to produce its own rainfall and sustain its rainforest ecosystems. This point is known as the "tipping point."

According to estimates, Amazon's current deforestation rate is 17%, as its tipping point is at around 20% to 25%. The largest rainforest on Earth could, at worst, transform into a dry grassland if the tipping point is passed.

5. Pacific Islands

The western Pacific is experiencing a faster sea level rise than anticipated. In the Pacific Ocean, coastal flooding caused by waves will affect inhabited low-lying islands, most notably the well-known ring-shaped atolls, as well as low-elevation regions of high islands, the USGS says.

6. Coral Reefs

About 30% of the CO2 produced by humans through the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation is absorbed by the oceans, but this results in acidification of the oceans, which disturbs the balance of corals and now threatens the Great Barrier Reef, eradicating biodiversity.

7. Ski Holiday Venues

Those who are accustomed to spending their winter vacations in the mountains must have noticed that skiing in recent years would have been nearly impossible without artificial snow, and the outcome is still very different. Skiing will become increasingly challenging, and there will be fewer and fewer ski resorts.

8. Timbuktu

The incredible Mali Heritage World of Timbuktu is in danger due to desertification. Land productivity is declining, but wars and migratory waves are also to blame for the destruction.

9. Australia

Sydney and the rest of Australia may soon be uninhabitable by people. The southernmost cities in particular now experience absurd temperatures, up to 129 degrees Fahrenheit. There are numerous initiatives and practical measures to combat climate change, but they might not be enough to fix the current scenario.

10. New York

The skyscrapers, Central Park, and Empire State Building may no longer exist in the coming decades due to sea level rise.

According to EcoBnB, among the locations at risk of desertification, sea-level rise, and glacier merger, the renowned climate expert, meteorologist, and environmental advisor Luca Lombroso has chosen the ten most important ones.
