New York City
New York City, year 7019, 5000 years in the future. Visiting this beautiful city is an eye opening experience and looks so very different than the year 2019. Scientists long talked about global warming and the effect it would have on coastal cities like New York City. They predicted, if things didn’t change, New York City would suffer consequences such as being completely buried under water. Years of global warming anthropogenic effects; continuous greenhouse gases, carbon emissions, landfill release of methane, etc. along with natural effects, such as wildfires, natural disasters, and volcanic activity, would cause waters to rise , animal/wildlife become extinct and farmlands are compromised.

These natural and anthropogenic global warming effects forced the people and city to modify and adapt to a possibility of living in a city of water. New York City took measures to ensure the future of the city. The 7019 New York City is one that adapted to the consequences of global warming and created an amazing city and environment where water became a natural part of the city. Flood walls, water resistant building materials, solar power, and deployable flood barriers are just some of the ways the city adapted to the future.
