New Orleans and much of South Florida expected to be completely submerged

In recent studies by scientists at both Princeton University and Harvard University have come up with the statistics to suggest that even an extra two degrees of moderate global warming can be responsible for 20-30 feet of long term sea level rise. This would effect some parts of the United States east coast, most of Netherlands, nearly all of Bangledesh and the most problematic of areas, South Florida and New Orleans which can be lost forever. If precautionary measures are not taken and we do not begin to monitor and prevent the emissions of greenhouse gasses we could see this type of rise in global warming of this magnitude sometime during this next year.
