It is the year 7010 and we are on the coast of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The busy southern city historically known as New Orleans has gone underwater. Due to the effects of global warming, sea levels have increased significantly. The gradual heating of the earth has caused polar ice caps to melt which caused the increase in sea level. Aside from that, New Orleans 5,000 years ago was roughly 15 feet below sea level, to begin with, so its submergence could’ve been expected. The occurrence of hurricanes has also been intermittent the past couple of years. Hurricanes usually occur around the early fall and during fall time but in the last couple of centuries, hurricanes have been happening at varying times of the year. The city of New Orleans did implement more floodgates throughout the years but the random timing and gradual increase of sea level were too much to handle. So, the city ended up going underwater.
Interesting point of view of global warming impact in that region . Thanks
