#10 Places That Could Be Uninhabitable In 100 Years

7. Greenland

The Greenland ice sheet is melting at an alarming rate and causing the sea levels to rise dramatically. Compared to ice atop mountains and the ice floating in cold ocean water, the ice within large ice sheets affects the sea level the most. It is estimated that the icesheet is losing 110 million Olympic size swimming pools worth of water each year but if the temperature in the atmosphere is raised this might cause the icesheet to melt even quicker and lead to a high increase in the global sea level.

8. Honolulu, Hawaii

Hawaii is expected to suffer the most when the global sea rises according to a study at the University of Urbino in Italy. Melting ice is causing the sea level to rise unevenly around the world, and Honolulu in Hawaii is likely to endure the highest waters. It is claimed that even a one inch rise in the global sea level could cause the shoreline at Honolulu to move up eight feet, so the higher the sea level rises globally, the closer Honolulu is to becoming under water.
