09:40 – If the emissions of CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions continue at current rates the cities of Miami and New Orleans will be entirely submerged by rising seas. This was revealed by a study published in apocalyptic PNAS , according to which the fate of the two cities is “marked, whatever the efforts undertaken to combat climate change.” A risk the tipping point by 2100 are around 414 American cities.

It ‘really too late? – “In our analysis, many cities have a future that depends on our choices on carbon, but some appear already lost, “said Benjamin Strauss, researcher of Climate Central and author of the study. Millions of Americans live instead in places where it is too late to stop the threat from rising seas. And the center that looks more compromise is just New Orleans. “Even under the best scenario of CO2 emissions – said Strauss – 98% of the inhabited earth in New Orleans will end completely underwater.”

The only hope: to reduce pollution – But if for some cities fate seems now marked a radical change in CO2 emissions could however still “save” the future of many coastal cities. According to scholars, with a net change of course 14 cities with over 100 thousand inhabitants could avoid following the example of Atlantis. At least as far this century. According to scholars, the Florida is the state with the largest number of cities at risk from rising seas, followed in order by California, Louisiana and New York. The Big Apple, in particular, could be under water in less than 200 years.
