Climate change is rapidly changing our world, and only time will tell just how bad things will get.
Researchers have predicted what's in store for humanity with the already irreversible effects that the changing temperature will have. Drought, drowned cities, bunkers, and change on an apocalyptic scale are well within the realms of possibility.
See what the future of mankind is when these events cease to be a part of science fiction.
1
Dust storms
High temperatures will cause extreme wind patterns that will affect dry areas and cause dust storms.
2
Airport shutdowns
Due to extreme weather, airports will have to frequently suspend service.
3
Nature reconquering human areas
Plant growth that was previously hindered by human activity will make a comeback in abandoned areas.
4
Cooling stations
The extreme heat will make cooling stations a necessity for survival.
5
Algal blooms
Rising temperatures are making toxic algal blooms in water more common.
6
Bleached coral reefs
Rising temperatures will cause the death of the oceans coral reefs.
7
A boom in bunkers
Doomsday bunkers have become common for billionaires and preppers, and will be used in the future.
8
Sea walls
Sea walls and barriers to combat rising sea levels are already being constructed and are expected to become more common.
9
Coastal cities left unlivable
Rising sea levels will flood coastal cities and make them uninhabitable.
10
Abandoned cities
Even cities unaffected by floods will be left abandoned due to migration.
11
Drought-cracked farm land
Rising temperatures will cause drought and ruined farms.
12
Glaciers disappearing
We’re already seeing glaciers melting at rapid speeds, and one day they’ll be a thing of the past.
13
Pedestrian areas underwater
Rising sea levels won't be localize to just the immediate shores of cities, with flooding affecting areas we use every day.
14
Massive animal migration
Changing climates and food availability will have animals migrating en masse to new regions.
15
Power grid strain
High temperatures will cause transformers to overheat and result in blackouts.
