The year 7010 has finally come, and we can barely recognize the Earth. The warnings scientist have given us are here. Back in 2020 the focus was on decreasing the CO2 emissions, that was causing the Green House Effect. Above is a picture of the main contributions of the CO2 emissions. Everything humans did to destroy our home.  The advice of scientists were to decrease driving, burning fossil fuels, stop deforestation, and reduce your own emissions. All of this was ignored, and that's where we are at today. The Green House Emissions caused the the glaciers to melt and sea level to rise.

Living on the East Coast, I now went to look at the Jersey Shore in 7010. This is now underwater, with very little even peaking out. In the photo we can see just the peak of the roller coater out, and this photo was taken over a 100 years ago.  Homes and businesses have been washed away. So, the almost 300,000 people have to leave the shore, and move in land. This problem is everywhere along the east and west coast. As the sea level continues to rise the problem continues to grow. Solutions now are very limited. People are trying more than ever to reduce their emissions and laws have been put in place for businesses. The problems are to big to correct.
