Week 8 New York City Mike Bruno

This week I decided to travel forward in time and visit New York City! I chose to visit the city in the year 7010. When I left 2020 global warming was a serious issue and upon traveling to the future I have discovered that it is still an issue one that now defines the times and impacts human survival. Upon arriving I noticed that most of the city is underwater. I went in search of a local to figure out exactly what had happened. Once I found someone he explained that while the Earth's natural cycle was moving towards another ice age in 2020 but, human intervention delayed the natural cooling of the Earth through greenhouse gasses. Most major coastal cities are mostly, if not entirely, submerged into the ocean. Today society has finally decided to try and take more measures to ensure the Earth is ready to cool next time it enters the appropriate orbit window from the Sun. While the small changes helped delay the process of global warming in 2020 it still took place. Now resources are scarce and the citizens of Earth are doing their best to survive despite all of this horror. The current effort is still focused on lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Still, it is expected that next time the Earth enters the appropriate orbit from the Sun that there will be a great ice age and if all goes well the humans on Earth will survive.
