Des endroits comme Miami, La Nouvelle-Orléans et même Bangkok pourraient être partiellement submergés à cause de la montée des eaux d'ici 2050. Imaginez cela - les rues se transformant en canaux, les bâtiments émergeant comme une Atlantide moderne. C'est certainement un signal d'alarme, nous rappelant à quel point il est urgent de s'attaquer au changement climatique avant que davantage de lieux ne soient engloutis par la mer. Espérons que nous pourrons renverser la situation avant qu'il ne soit trop tard ! Animation créée par Sympa.

FunTranscript
00:00Here is the map of New Orleans, in the United States.
00:04You see these thick gray lines around the city.
00:07These are digs that protect it from floods coming from Lake Morpa, Lake Salvador and Little Lake.
00:14Without them, New Orleans would have a lot of difficulties in facing the rise of the sea level.
00:21Even with these digs, the damage is impressive.
00:25The natural reserves of Biloxi and Jean Lafitte seem practically submerged on the map.
00:31New Orleans is not the only city in the United States that is at risk of being submerged.
00:37The city of Savannah is located in the middle of the epicenter of hurricanes.
00:42But even without the anger of Lady Nature, the place faces the rise of the sea level.
00:49The Savannah rivers in the north and the Gitche in the south could overflow in the surrounding tides.
00:54And it's far from being the worst.
00:58By 2050, there could be new floods of historical magnitude every year.
01:05Sorry to tell you, but Miami is also in danger.
01:09The state of Florida spends about $4 billion to prevent things from getting worse,
01:14especially in Miami Beach, a place very popular with tourists.
01:18At present, more than 1,200 houses are threatened by the waters.
01:24The big apple is also affected by more and more violent floods.
01:28In November 2021, New Yorkers even had their very first sudden flood alert.
01:34But the city is still not prepared for this.
01:37Even the Statue of Liberty, one of New York's most famous monuments,
01:41was hit by Hurricane Sandy.
01:43And now, with the rise of the sea level, Lady Liberty is more than ever in danger.
01:49The Mexican state of Tabasco is no stranger to floods, being located on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico.
01:55This low region is full of wetlands and forests and is already facing seasonal floods.
02:05But with the rise of the sea level, it could finally be completely submerged.
02:09This would put some monuments, such as the Maya ruins of Malpasito and Comalcalco,
02:14as well as the Tabasco sauce, in danger.
02:17Ah no, the spicy sauce comes from Louisiana.
02:20Joke aside, there is not only Tabasco, parts of the Yucatan Peninsula and Baja California
02:26are also threatened by the rise of the sea level.
02:30The city of Panama is also at risk.
02:33Apparently, the neighborhood of Casco Vieiro and that of Costa del Este could be submerged by 2050.
02:40This city has existed since 1519, when it was founded by Pedro Arias de Avila.
02:45Notable fact, it was the first European settlement on the Pacific coast.
02:49The efforts of the 18th and 18th centuries along the Caribbean coast are also in danger.
02:55According to Climate Central, it could be carried away by the rise of the sea level.
03:00Even UNESCO has inscribed them on its list of sites at risk since 2012.
03:05Other bad news.
03:07The Bahamas will be severely affected by the rise of the sea level.
03:11The eastern hurricane has already wreaked havoc in 2019.
03:15And now, it is said that most of the islands of the Great Bahamas,
03:19as well as Nassau, Abaco and Spanish Wells,
03:22could be submerged by 2050 for various reasons.
03:27Amsterdam.
03:28The Netherlands are called like this for a good reason.
03:31The city and its neighboring Rotterdam and The Hague are located very low and not far from the North Sea.
03:37It must be recognized that the Dutch know how to manage water and maintain it at a distance
03:42thanks to measures against high-speed floods.
03:45With the sea level constantly rising,
03:47it seems that their impressive system of digs, dams and wells will become even more crucial in the future.
03:55However, despite all these efforts,
03:57some experts fear that northern Venice will be submerged by 2030.
04:03Well, it's not as if you haven't seen it coming.
04:06But let's still talk about Venice.
04:08It sinks by 2 mm every year and the sea level keeps rising.
04:12This means that the city is flooded more often.
04:15And it will only get worse because of climate change.
04:20Just like New Orleans, Venice has a defense system against floods.
04:24But as the crisis worsens, it will be more and more difficult and expensive to maintain it.
04:30Worse still, the magnificent Basilica of St. Mark has already been hit hard by floods.
04:35A system of digs against rising waters has been tried, but it has not worked.
04:40In 2020, this dam against floods was not used and the place of St. Mark was seriously damaged.
04:47It seems that even when we try to prevent the effects of climate change,
04:51things do not always go as planned.
04:53In London, the rise of the sea level causes more and more floods along the estuary of the dam,
04:58and this is not good news.
05:00The river banks are particularly at risk,
05:03endangering emblematic monuments such as the Tower of London and the Westminster Palace,
05:08as well as first-class cultural sites such as the Tate Modern and the Globe Theatre.
05:13And the British Museum, it contains so many precious things that even Gollum would be jealous of it.
05:19We just can't let it be submerged.
05:22During your next trip through Europe, make sure to visit Bruges, in Belgium.
05:27There are chances that you will never see it again if you don't hurry.
05:31The fact is that it is also in danger of being flooded.
05:34Bruges is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
05:36We really hope that we can protect it from rising waters.
05:40In addition, it has many local specialties whose loss would be tragic.
05:45You may not know this, but Andalusia, in Spain,
05:49is home to the oldest city in Western Europe, Cadix.
05:53It has existed for more than 3,000 years and was founded by the Phoenicians.
05:57But alas, climate change is putting it at risk.
06:01The rise of the sea level could flood the city's central pavement,
06:05its beautiful tree-lined squares and its historic fortifications along the coast.
06:10And it's not just Cadix. Entire parts of Andalusia are also in danger.
06:15Well, it seems that we need to add a new destination to your list.
06:20Ho Chi Minh City, and especially its swampy eastern districts, are in danger.
06:25Just like all the other places mentioned earlier.
06:28And it seems that the whole city is threatened by the deltas of the Mekong.
06:33While its main part will probably not be completely submerged by 2030,
06:38floods and storms will certainly become a major problem.
06:43It turns out that Bangkok could soon find itself in a very delicate situation due to global warming.
06:49A 2020 study indicates that the city could be one of the most affected by rising waters.
06:55It is located quite low, only 1.5 meters above sea level,
07:00and to make things even more spicy, it sinks at a rapid rate of 2 to 3 centimeters per year.
07:06The icing on the cake is that the ground on which it is built is made of extremely dense clay,
07:12which means that it acts essentially like a flood magnet.
07:16By 2030, some parts of Bangkok, including its main airport, could have to get used to living underwater.
07:24The next city whose days are counted is Calcutta, in India.
07:29The fertile lands of Western Bengal have been a major factor in its prosperity over the centuries,
07:34but they now cause a lot of concern in Calcutta and the surrounding regions.
07:38Just like in Ho Chi Minh City, the Kolkatans could have serious problems due to floodwaters.
07:44And the CE map, which could pass by 2100, is quite edifying.
07:49Our next destination is Shanghai, in China.
07:52Its name literally translates as the city on the sea.
07:55But it could end up below.
07:57The weather forecasts put this megapolis on alert.
08:00Those who make it one of the most at-risk cities in China,
08:03the Yangtze Delta, where Shanghai is located,
08:07and the Pearl River Delta, where Guangzhou is located,
08:10are also in a dangerous situation,
08:13because many people living in the lowlands could be impacted.
08:18The Maldives, an archipelago taken over by holidaymakers, is already flooded every year.
08:24Experts think they could lose 80% of their islands in the next 30 years, or even more.
08:31However, the Maldivian authorities leave nothing to chance.
08:35They are already planning to acquire lands in other countries,
08:38in case they need to move their entire population.
