The year is 7010. The date is May 6. I'm standing here in what I have known to be Incheon, South Korea, five thousand years in the future. What was once a beautiful coastal area is now completely submerged in the waters that once surrounded it. The climate change that began in my own time is the reason that this city is under water. Climate change led to extreme weather; hurricanes, tsunamis, and floods, which led to the sea rising. The sea level inched higher and higher until Incheon, along with many other coastal areas, became submersed. Not a trace of the coastal cities of my time remain.

This can be prevented. Incheon can be saved. It needs to start with the people of my own time. We need to take care of our Earth and the atmosphere. The greenhouse gas emissions and greenhouse effect is causing the planet to heat up, which is why these extreme weather event happen. We can stop these processes. Less burning of fossil fuels, no deforestation, less industrialization, more eco-friendly ways to live daily life. All of these things can help save the planet. With the decrease of gas emissions, as well as the increase of sinks to absorb these gases, the Earth can stop heating at the rapid pace that it is. This will prevent severe, geography altering weather, and Incheon can be saved, as well as the rest of the world.

I'm preparing to head back to my own time, to warn the people of what will happen if they continue to take advantage of the Earth.
