If the emissions created in the world are not stopped, then by the end of this century, the level of water level of the world's oceans can increase by more than 2 meters, leading to major cities like New York and Shanghai can be trapped in the swamps. Due to this, about 187 million people can be affected and displaced.





A study released on Monday said that the water level of the ocean is growing rapidly in the past estimates. This is due to the rapid melting of Greenland and icebergs. International researchers have predicted that the worst would be when the global temperature would be 5 degrees centigrade (9 degrees Fahrenheit) by the year 2100. During this time the water level of the sea can be increased to 2 meters. The authors of the study have warned that such a situation would be horrific.





Professor Jonathan Bamwer of Physical Geography at the University of Bristol said that these conditions are really very serious and they said that large-scale displacement of people living in lower coastal areas would be in the form of serious social upheaval. It also threatens the existence of the island nation of the Pacific region.





The researchers found that in such a situation, the area of 1.17 million square meters will be submerged in the sea, this area is three times more than the size of California. It has also been said in the report that such a situation will threaten 187 million people, which is 2.5 million of the world's total population.
