Island getaways are a dream come true for a wide range of travelers, from adventurous backpackers to families and retirees. Destinations such as Bora Bora, Tahiti, the Maldives, and the Seychelles captivate visitors with their pristine, untouched beauty.<\/p>\n

However, these idyllic island escapes are facing a dire threat from human-induced climate change. The warming of ocean waters, rising sea levels, and increasingly severe storms are putting these islands at risk. Consequently, many of these paradises may face partial submersion and become uninhabitable in just a few decades.<\/p>\n

The islands that make up <\/span>Venice<\/span>, one of the most beloved tourist destinations in the world — and which famously floods frequently — have recently been inundated with historically high flood waters that have imperiled its artistic treasures. Venice isn\u2019t the only famous tourist spot threatened by climate change. <\/span>Here are the attractions that are being destroyed by climate change<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

As nations attempt to address the climate change crisis, 24\/7 Tempo has compiled a list of islands that might not exist in 20 years. We created our list by reviewing material from sources such as the <\/span>United Nations<\/span>, which calls climate change \u201c<\/span>the defining issue of our time<\/span>,\u201d and websites from nations to create our list.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rise in greenhouse gases, caused by the burning of fossil fuels, has led to an increase in temperatures all across the globe and glacial ice melting, causing sea levels to rise. In addition, as the oceans get warmer, they begin to expand, causing sea levels to rise further. The sea begins to eat away at coastlines, causing erosion. <\/span>These are the effects of climate change that can\u2019t be stopped<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The rise in sea level<\/span> varies<\/span> from place to place. It depends on water temperature (hot water has more volume than cold); the effect of wind; the direction of oceanic currents; and even the contours of continents and the shifting of tectonic plates.<\/span><\/p>\n

The severity may vary locally, but it is a global issue nonetheless. At the <\/span>Copenhagen climate conference<\/span> in 2009, a spokesperson for small island nations warned that many would not survive a two-degree rise: \u201cSome countries will flat-out disappear.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Many of these island nations are taking action, formulating sustainability strategies, building walls to keep out rising oceans, relocating people who are at risk from surging sea levels, or planning to construct floating islands sustained by solar and wind power like French Polynesia.<\/span><\/p>\n
