GLOBAL WETTING

Even though sea levels have only risen 19.5 centimeters since 1870 (that’s about 1.44 millimeters per year), climate researchers have created a list of mega-cities which might be highly vulnerable to flooding thanks to global warming by the year 2015. So if you live in any of the following cities you might want to consider moving uphill a few centimeters within the next eight years: Dhaka, Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Shanghai, Tianjin, Alexandria, Mumbai, Kolkata, Jakarta, Tokyo, Osaka-Kobe, Lagos, Karachi, Bangkok, Thailand, New York and Los Angeles.
