Peter Greenberg has a great article on his site talking about the effects of global warming in the next years to come. Some of these realizations are very shocking, here is a small clip of some of the top tourist destinations that could be affected:
Everglades, Florida: Due to increasing frequency of hurricanes;
Taj Coral Reef, Maldives: Rising sea levels will put much of the area underwater;
Cologne Cathedral, Germany: Already considered "at risk," this monument may be irreparably damaged from pollution;
Great Barrier Reef: Cruise ships are being blamed for damaging one of the world's largest marine ecosystems;
Athens, Greece: We're already seeing temperatures of more than 40C, which is expected to be exacerbated;
Tuscany, Italy: Heat waves and a rapid increase in wildlife threaten to make this a less attractive tourist spot
Definitely give the entire article a read and let's hope we can start to take care of our planet; Something that is long overdue!
Until next time,
Cammy! :)
