There are many amazing places in the world but if you want to see some of these you'd better go now
that's because they won't be around much longer that's right many famous places you know and
perhaps love will disappear in your lifetime this is from a mix of natural and man-made causes
from wonders of the world that will soon disappear to entire cities in the usa that will be destroyed
in your lifetime venice venice is known as one of the most picturesque and beautiful places
in the world the italian city is a tourist hotspot instead of driving around on roads
many people get around using venice's canals in gondolas but the canals that give this city life
will be the same thing that destroys it venice is literally sinking and there are no signs of
this stopping anytime soon already the first floor of many buildings have flooded and this has caused
people to have to move upstairs but as these buildings are built taller this adds more weight
and in turn weighs down the city even more making it sink even faster in 2008 venice had their worst
floods ever this caused masses of damage and some people had to leave the city for good now flooding
in venice is a regular occurrence these floods are also causing the city to tilt to the east
this means in your lifetime venice may end up in the adriatic sea scientists predict that by 2100
the city will be uninhabitable great wall of china the great wall of china is one of the most famous
landmarks in the world the unesco world heritage site attracts 10 million people per year but if
you want to see this then i suggest you do it fast many people don't realize this but nearly a third
of the great wall of china has already disappeared this is from a mix of natural erosion and damage
from tourists also some people steal bricks from the great wall of china to build houses the great
wall spans thousands of kilometers this means all parts of it simply can't be guarded at all times
poor villagers who live near the great wall sometimes steal bricks this is to build
buildings and houses you can buy a stolen slab of the great wall with chinese characters on it for
just 31 that's around 4 us dollars of course this is illegal and if you're caught you'll be fined
5 000 won that's around 730 us dollars but this has made little impact and people still steal from
the great wall scientists say that in 20 years the north western great wall sections will have
disappeared and for the rest it's only a matter of decades san francisco everyone knows that san
francisco california is an earthquake hotspot but in october of 2016 something terrifying was
discovered geologists discovered that underneath the san francisco bay two earthquake fault zones
had connected this is the rogers creek and the hayward falls when this fault slips it will
produce a 7.4 magnitude earthquake this would be a very destructive earthquake for california
and it's believed this will be california's most deadly earthquake ever there is a 75
chance this will happen before 2086 according to the university of california this earthquake would
destroy the city thousands would lose their homes and even lives the great barrier reef
one of the most amazing and beautiful places in the world has to be the great barrier reef
it's located off the coast of australia and it's home to more than 600 species of fish
30 species of whales and dolphins and 130 types of sharks and rays it is one of the most complex
ecosystems in the world but scientists say that by 2030 the damage to the great barrier reef will
be irreversible this is due to climate change in just the past few decades most of the coral
has disappeared this is because of the ocean temperatures warming marine biologists also say
this will leave many species of fish extinct this includes whale sharks butterfly fish and
hawk spill sea turtles this will also damage australia's economy there will be less tourism
and people won't be able to dive and see the great barrier reef this could lead to a decrease
of 3 billion to australia's economy and it could also cause around 60 000 people to lose their jobs
alaska alaska is the usa's most northern state it's known for looking absolutely stunning but
due to climate change it may not be around much longer in its current state
the region's permafrost is being destroyed and this is massively altering its ecosystem
scientists say that within 10 years the alaskan village of kivalina will be underwater
and this will make its 400 residents the first climate change refugees in the usa also the
arctic region of alaska is warming twice as fast as the rest of the usa the ice is melting and the
sea levels are rising this has caused four inuit civilizations to be destroyed already
and experts say that within 100 years alaska's tundra will have completely disappeared
the maldives the maldives is a popular tourist hotspot it's full of amazing beaches and five
star resorts but these may not be around for much longer the maldives is slowly sinking the maldives
is made up of 26 atolls in 2009 the president of the maldives held a press conference underwater
this was to raise awareness about the dangers of flooding that the maldives will face
it's believed that within less than 100 years this amazing paradise will be underwater the alps the
alps glaciers are amazing bird experts say that they'll have disappeared by 2050. around three
percent of its alpine glacial ice is melting every year the rhone glacier in switzerland has been
covered up for the past eight years this does help but a lot of damage has already been done so if
you want to see the amazing alps you'd better do so fast seychelles the islands of these seychelles
can be found in the indian ocean of the coast of madagascar birds of this tourist hotspot may
soon be gone global warming is causing the water levels to rise and this will soon submerge the 115
islands if the ocean rises just 91 centimeters this will leave 80 000 people homeless but now
