We all know it, we all feel it. We are destroying our planet. Slowly but surely, the average global temperature is rising and melting all the ice on our planet, resulting in the water level rising. Soon, the water level will be so high it will cover cities and people's homes.

That's what the researchers at Climate Central wanted to show with their project. They took famous places we all know and love and showed how they may look in 2050 if the climate continues to worsen as it has been doing. By 2050, the global temperature will be 3°C higher and many cities near the coasts will be lost underwater. If we don't do anything, in just 30 years we will have devastating results.

The Plaza is a mere two blocks from the waters of Havana Port. This rendering is very realistic.

    If they hadn't been making these same predictions for the last 50 years it would carry more weight. You can't keep telling people they only have so many years left, and then passing that milestone and then tell them the same thing over and over. Read "The Boy Who Cried Wolf".
