You all know about Global Warming continues and about the melting of ice in the north and south pole due to high temperatures. Scientists keep saying that this melted water will increase the sea water levels and one day all the coastal regions in the world will be destroyed and people will not be able to live on the coast. However, we keep saying that there is a long time for that and it will not happen soon. Let me tell you one thing, it is not that far away. A new research suggests that Mumbai and Kolkata could be completely wiped out by 2050.
Climate Central is an NGO from New Jersey, USA which focuses on climate science.They conducted a research which found that, cities at the coast of Asia and Indian cities such as Mumbai and Kolkata are at risk of being flooded by 2050. More than 300 million people will die.
In fact, areas surrounding Kolkata, the Sundarbans and the entire coastline stretching from Mahanadi river in Odisha to Myanmar are at risk. On the west coast, Kerala and Goa are also at a big risk. Gujarat is also at risk. Researchers said that, countries need to start preparing for citizens to relocate away from low-lying coastal areas.
