I took a trip 5,000 years into the future to take a look at the effects that global warming has had on our planet and on civilization. What I discovered was extremely disturbing. CO2 levels have risen so significantly, bringing with it temperature increases that have caused Greenland and Antarctica to melt away. Along with ice and snow melting, there is a downpour of rain causing extreme flooding. This has caused the sea level to rise and our shorelines to be overtaken.
I visited what used to be the city of San Diego. I discover that it sadly is no more.
There was nothing done to curb the production of Carbon Dioxide. The world's economy had become overly dependent on fossil fuel and industry, agriculture, and transportation worldwide were not willing/able to make changes quickly enough to mitigate the damage. Over the course of the 21st century, a process of change began that multiplied in effect and changed life on earth for millennia to come.
Along with these anthropogenic effects, natural causes of climate change were also involved in dissolving San Diego, as it is currently known. A shift in the earth's position, as well as increased frequency of global volcanic activity, which emitted ash and sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, contributed to rising sea levels - swallowing this beautiful city.
