What 2050 Could Look Like: Climate Central’s Stark Images of Cities Underwater

A new series of photographs from Climate Central offers a chilling look at global cities in 2050 if climate change continues unchecked. Doug McIntyre, editor-in-chief at Climate Crisis 247, describes how rising sea levels could put half of Dubai underwater, with Miami faring even worse. In Venice, projections show the city’s famous canals overflowing until the entire city could be submerged. McIntyre emphasizes that this isn’t a fantasy—without aggressive climate action, these forecasts could become reality.
