2 Tourists attractions affected by global warming

The Maldives


One of the world’s most popular tourist destinations, the Maldives is a tropical paradise that will soon disappear if the carbon dioxide emissions continue at the present rate. Scientists say that in roughly 100 years the 1,200 islands archipelago will be swallowed up by the Indian Ocean unless the world’s governments can find a way to fight global warming.
The Maldives are very low lands, the highest of the islands lies just 7.8 feet above the level of the ocean, making them very vulnerable to the rising sea levels. The locals will soon start to artificially raise some areas, but this is just a short term measure, in the long run they will probably be forced to abandon their homes and relocate.

Kilimajaro


Often called the most beautiful mountain in the world, Kilimajaro may lose its beautiful white cap. The data gathered in recent years shows that the glacier on top of Africa’s highest mountain will disappear in the next 10 years. The people living at the base of Kilimanjaro will suffer greatly since they depend on the melting ice flowing down the mountain.
Aerial photos prove that ever since the global warming problem has become a real issue, a massive amount of ice, from the Kilimanjaro glacier, has been lost.
