Future Coastal Flooding Will Be a Nightmare for These 28 Cities

Ribe, Denmark

Along with the entire Wadden Sea coastline, Denmark’s oldest town, Ribe, also faces an uncertain future because of future coastal flooding risks in the North Sea.

This charming well-preserved village dates back to the 9th century when Vikings settled it and it became a significant North Sea port. Nowadays, it’s known for its pretty cobblestone streets, half-timbered homes, and medieval churches.

The Wadden Sea is a marvel, as well. As the most extensive tidal flats system in the world, it expands along the coasts of Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands and is considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its extraordinary biodiversity and habitats.

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Climate Central reports that the areas most at risk for future coastal flooding in Ho Chi Minh City are its eastern districts. Mainly the flat, heavily built-up marshland of Thu Thiem. But it also indicates that the city will be increasingly endangered along the Mekong Delta.

While Ho Chi Minh City’s center is unlikely to find itself underwater by the end of the decade, it will definitely be more vulnerable to flooding and tropical storms.

Tabasco, Mexico

With its coastline on the Gulf of Mexico, Tabasco’s low, flat condition is no stranger to flooding. And it could eventually be consumed completely. The rural region is wrapped in forests and wetlands, and it’s already subject to seasonal floods.

But the increased risk of future coastal flooding could submerge it all together. This would jeopardize remarkable archaeological sites, like the Mayan ruins of Malpasito and Comalcalco and their fascinating colonial cities.

Parts of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and Baja California are also helpless to global sea-level rises.

Hudson Bay, Canada

The coastline of the Manitoba province in the Canadian Arctic is facing a somber future.

Churchill, the so-called Polar Bear capital on the isolated southwestern shores of Hudson Bay, is already reeling from the effects of climate change, with extreme spring floods becoming more common.

But it could eventually be underwater completely, putting at stake historical sites, like Inukshuk, constructed by the Inuits and the 18th-century Prince of Wales Fort.

Parts of its Wapusk National Park, containing one of the biggest known polar bear maternity denning areas in the world, will also disappear due to future coastal flooding.

  1. Amazing that many do not see climate change as what it tells is, nature changing. But that explanation does not allow for taxing and controlling freedoms, which is what the globalists and democrats really want! The positive side to it is that many of today’s youth who are guillible enough to support it will eventually end up working for the collective and realizing reality sucks!

    1. Exactly. Remember our lifespans are short compared to the age of our planet and it has gone through several climate changes.

  2. More than just Louisiana coastal areas, think about Port Arthur, Galveston, and possibly Corpus Christi. The Gulf is coming!

  3. I do Notice a complete disregard of the phenomenon of “Subsidence”, being land settling due to ground water pumping caused by man needing a drink.

    And I also Notice a complete disregard of the phenomenon of “Erosion”, being the washing away of the beaches and coastlines due to Entirely NATURAL action of waves washing away sand and soil.

    But then again this being one of those “Alarmist” articles on Anthroprogenic climate change and only mentioning Subsidence in regard to “Skyscrapers” , I guess it should have been expected.

    But I also Remember from high school a photograph of an Old Buick Car ( new at the time of the photo ) with a guy leaning on the fender, And pointing out the telephone poles in the background and stating that the Tops of the poles (30-40′ above the Car ) were at the original ground level, And The Surface had Settled due to groundwater Pumping for Crop Irrigation of the Napa and San Joaquin valleys, and population Growth in the area is ONLY going to make Subsidence worse.

  4. Manmade Climate change is a fraud.
    Just another way for the global elites to control people for world domination by controling fuel,food,funds and mobility of everyone by the NWO.

  5. I’ve watched the Atlantic Ocean from the beach every day for the last 30 years.
    The tides rise and fall twice a day.
    The tides are very noticeable.
    Every wave, large or small, washes up the sand.
    The waves are very noticeable.
    Whatever few millimeters the ocean level may have risen is dwarfed by the tides and waves is not noticeable.
    Will many coastal land areas be completely inundated by the end of the century?
    NOT SO’S YOU’D NOTICE!
