The maps here show the world as it is now, with only one difference: All the ice on land has melted and drained into the sea, raising it 216 feet and creating new shorelines for our continents and inland seas. If we continue adding carbon to the atmosphere, well very likely create an ice-free planet, with an average temperature of perhaps 80 degrees Fahrenheit instead of the current 58 (Ibid.). In North America, for example, the entire Atlantic seaboard would vanish beneath the waves, along with Florida and the Gulf Coast. Much of California would also be underwater San Franciscos hills would become small islands in the Pacific Ocean, the Central Valley would become a huge bay, and the Gulf of California would extend north, past what once was San Diego. Africa would be largely untouched, but much of it would become inhabitable because of the increased temperature. In Egypt, Alexandria and Cairo would be swamped by floodwater from the Mediterranean. As for Asia, the infographic states that land currently inhabited by 600 million Chinese would be underwater, as would all of Bangladesh and coastal India. Australia would gain a new sea in the center of the continent but would also lose the coastal strip where more than 80 percent of the population currently lives. And Antarctica, which contains four-fifths of all the ice on Earth, would all but disappear. Warming temperatures contribute to sea level rise by: expanding ocean water; melting mountain glaciers and ice caps; and causing portions of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to melt or flow into the ocean It is more difficult to predict how much changes in ice sheets will contribute to sea level rise Regional and local factors will influence future relative sea level rise for specific coastlines around the world Relative sea level rise also depends on local changes in currents, winds, salinity, and water temperatures, as well as proximity to thinning ice sheets. As the Environmental Protection Agency points out, global sea level has risen by about 8 inches since 1870, and it is expected to rise at a much greater rate during the next century ( source ).
