The increase in global heating is threatening towns and cities worldwide to the extent that about a billion people may have to be shifted permanently from uninhabitable places to places which are more habitable. This phenomenon can completely wipe out some countries as well as rise in the level of ocean waters can cause significant threat to low countries like Maldives and Mauritius.
Global heating is likely to soar past internationally agreed limits according to a popular survey to this end. This phenomenon can bring catastrophic heatwaves, floods, and storms. At 3 degrees Celsius increase in global temperature, we are looking at the prospect of cities like Miami and Shangai going below sea level. This list would include other cities as well, meaning a significant percentage of global metropolitan cities could be underwater in the next fifteen to thirty years.
