For this weeks travel journal, I traveled to Los Angeles in the year 7010. Believe it or not, this major city was relatively untouched by the rising sea levels visible today. Shortly after the current presidency, a new wave of liberal politics swept over the United States with a major focus on climate change and general forward thinking. This caused new regulations that focused on reducing fossil fuel usage and, with the help of other major industrial tycoons, sparked the age of natural renewable energy. For this reason, Los Angeles, being one of the major tech hubs in the world, ended up prospering and finding new ways to better the world. Inventions were made to make everything run on renewable energy and was actually the first major city to be fully fossil fuel free. Because of the success of Los Angeles, the technology eventually made it's way throughout the United States, then throughout the world, saving millions upon millions of lives.
Before we go to this point however, there was still a fairly substantial raise in sea level given how late we found out about the climate change crisis. Water over took places like New Orleans and did some damage to coastal cities throughout the world. This visual confirmation united the country as one, and made people finally understand that damage that was unfolding.
