Its definitely fair to say that after seeing all that snow and the hysterics caused by the mudslides that this lovely holiday destination could be at risk of the effects of climate change

With its interesting take on re-mapping the world its fair to say that Dubai could be at risk if a Tsunami was whipped up in the Persian Gulf or indeed if something went wrong in the waters near by.

London: It isn't only reefs and low-lying islands that are under threat from global warming. In fact, a major threat is for those large urban areas which are at risk of eventually being submerged underwater. This is caused by a change in sea levels that occurs when global warming takes place, resulting in coastal cities being destroyed by flooding. London is one of the major world capitals at high risk of this type of flooding, as depicted in this shot from the 2007 movie Flood. Scientists say that the city could be under water as early as within the next one hundred years. People are still booking flights to London with little care about the effects of climate change

India: Losing a massive city like London or New York to global warming would be devastating but think of the impact of losing an entire country, especially one as highly populated as India. This part of the world is seeing some of the worst impact of global warming with problems ranging from extremely high (even fatal) temperatures to increased cyclone activity. The main problem is due to changes in the water patterns which are reducing the flow of water throughout the country. Mumbai is particularly at risk but the entire country is in danger from extreme weather phenomena.

With the massive increase of flights to Sydney this well-known diving spot is another of the Seven Wonders of the Underwater World and another place that is threatened by global warming. Global warming causes the temperature of the water to rise and can change acidity levels in the area which has a direct negative impact on the coral reefs that make up this magnificent coral reef. Australia has traditionally been slower than other parts of the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a fact which has already resulted in damage to the Great Barrier Reef.

New York City: Across the ocean is another coastal city which plays a major role in the international landscape and which is also threatened by the flooding that could occur as a result of global warming. New York City is working hard to limit these risks but only time is going to tell whether the city can survive the rise in temperatures that is plaguing the globe.
