[center]Places Threatened by Global Warming





Palau, Micronesia

The earth is getting warmer and warmer with each year that passes and that means we’re going to see some significant changes in the land around us. For a few lucky places, global warming means positive things. For example, British Columbia is hoping that the extra few temperature points could mean a more Mediterranean climate that will boost their wine business and take industry away from wine hot spots like the South of France and the United States’ Napa Valley. However, a great number of places aren’t going to be nearly so lucky.

In addition to those wine hot spots that will be economically destroyed when the weather warms up, there are a large number of beautiful places that are going to devastated if global warming comes to pass. Numerous vacation destinations that are revered for their beauty and tranquility will drop off the map as the heat eats up the very things that make them appealing to travelers today. Famous diving spots, much-loved coastal cities and famous landmark attractions are all at risk of being lost to the global rise in temperatures

Palau: This tiny Pacific Island nation is a place that has gained a lot of attention in recent years since being named one of the Seven Underwater Wonders of the World. These are areas that marine researchers have deemed worthy of protection because of their rich underwater life. As a result, Palau has gained a lot of attention as a great place for divers interested in seeing one of the most beautiful spots in the world. Despite the efforts made to protect the area, Palau may end up changing significantly or disappearing altogether as a direct result of global warming.[center]

Great Barrier Reef: This well-known diving spot is another of the Seven Wonders of the Underwater World and another place that is threatened by global warming. Global warming causes the temperature of the water to rise and can change acidity levels in the area which has a direct negative impact on the coral reefs that make up this magnificent coral reef. Australia has traditionally been slower than other parts of the world to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a fact which has already resulted in damage to the Great Barrier Reef.[center]

Maldives: Off of the coast of India is this island nation which is seeing the same devastating effects as the rest of the area. Because of its small size, it is in particular danger of being wiped out by the global warming problems of the region. Scientists give it only about one hundred years before it completely disappears into the ocean surrounding it.[center]

Death Valley: Most of the places that are threatened by global warming are at risk because climate change causes flooding in the area. In contrast, Death Valley is at risk because it’s already a hot place that doesn’t have much access to water. This United States National Park area takes up a big chunk of Southern California, a chunk that could become almost impossible to cross if global warming heats it up even more. [center]

Columbia Glacier: Speaking of glaciers, the largest one in Alaska is
rapidly disappearing as the result of global warming. It is currently a favourite tourist attraction for Alaska’s visitors but taking those tours is getting increasingly difficult since the glacier is moving at an astonishingly rapid rate. This is likely to have a continued effect on the area and potentially the rest of the world – over time.[center]

[center]Yellowstone National Park, USA




Yellowstone National Park: This national park is a place of historical importance to the United States because it’s the oldest national park in the country. It is a place that truly takes you back in time, preserving nature and wildlife (such as American bison) that don’t exist in most places throughout the country. With unique geological formations such as geysers, it’s a park that draws in visitors from all around the world. And it’s a park that is under serious threat as climate change impacts the nature and wildlife that are living here today[center]
