The story lines of movies like The Day After Tomorrow and 2012 may have seem far fetched, but if we continue to add carbon to the atmosphere, those movies may edge closer to the side of the truth.
In 2013, National Geographic showed how if all the ice on earth melted, sea levels would rise by 216 feet with an average global temperature of about 80 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 22 degrees higher than the current average.
Scientists say it would take more than 5,000 years to melt all of the earth’s five million cubic miles of ice, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimate that sea levels could rise by about a meter by the end of the century. The illustrations in the video show how dramatically different all of the continent’s shapes and coastlines would be once all the ice melts. Have you ever wondered what would happen to your city once all the ice on earth melted? Cities like New York, Boston, New Orleans, and Houston would be completely underwater.
Would your city survive if all the world’s ice melted? Let us know in the comments.
