Siyazi ukuthi kusasele iminyaka eminingi ukuthi kufike u-2100, nokuthi ngokuqiniseka okuphelele, abaningi bethu abafunde le ndatshana, kubandakanya nami, abasekho kulomhlaba ngaleso sikhathi (ngaphandle kokuthi ithemba lokuphila komhlaba, kunjalo) kepha xwayiswa, hlala nalesi sihloko: lokhu kuphela Amadolobha ama-5 angahle angabi khona ku-2100. Usesikhathini sokubavakashela!
Seattle
Idolobha laseSeattle (eU.SA) lisendaweni eyi- I-Pacific Ring of Fire. Kusho ukuthini lokhu? Lokho kusho ukuthi idolobha lisendaweni yomsebenzi omkhulu wokuzamazama komhlaba.

Ithuba lamaphesenti lokwenzeka lokhu liphakeme impela, njengoba kuqinisekiswe nguMnyango Wezesayensi Yokwakheka Kwemvelo waseYunivesithi yaseWashington: kunamathuba angama-80% okuthi uSeattle abhekane nokuzamazama komhlaba okukhulu okungu-8 eminyakeni embalwa ezayo.
IVenice
Yebo, kuyadabukisa, kuyidrama impela, kepha elinye lamadolobha othando lishona kancane ngonyaka. I-Institute of Oceanography eNyuvesi yaseSan Diego eCalifornia yenze uphenyo ngemiphumela engemihle kakhulu edolobheni lase-Italy. IVenice iyacwila, ikakhulukazi ngejubane le- 4 amamilimitha ngonyakaIzindawo ezithinteke kakhulu yilezo ezitholakala eduze ngqo kwemisele. Izakhiwo zabo bezizocwila hhayi kuphela ngenxa yokukhula kwamanzi azungezile kepha futhi, ngokudidayo, ngenxa yemisebenzi eyenziwayo yokuqinisa izakhiwo, ezizosiza ukusheshisa ukuwa.
Futhi kunezinto ezimbalwa ezingenziwa lapho i-Mother Nature iyala ...

Lokhu kuzosiholela esiphethweni esicacile: INaples ibizoshiswa ngokuphelele.
Futhi uma usafisa ngokwengeziwe ukwazi ukuthi yimaphi amadolobha anganyamalala esikhathini esizayo, lawa amanye esiwasho ngezansi nawo angahle abe khona ukudangala, ngalesi sikhathi eminyakeni engaba ngu-5.000 XNUMX, ngokuthuthuka okunganqandeki kokuncibilika:
