E se os Polos derreterem?

Bom, após visionar o 2012 e mesmo com todo este debate do Global Warming, achei interessante postar como seria o mundo depois de os Polos derreterem... Já agora dois apartes, primeiro reparem que apesar de algumas falhas na Russia, America e America do Sul, a maior parte do planeta manter se ia igual... e apesar de provavelmenteperderiamos todos os animais que vivem em condições Polares, pelo menos já recuravamos o Continente Antartica!




This is a work in progress intended to show the Earth as it would be if the remaining ice caps melted. Sea level would be about 66 meters higher, which is depicted. Isostatic rebound would leave most of Greenland above sea level, as show. Vegetation changes are not represented so far, and some some cover has yet to be removed. The base map is a modern map of the Earth from the Visible Earth web site. Sea level change is derived from USGS DEM maps. (Before anyone asks: this is not an outcome that can result from any modern human activity; probably 10,000 years of natural climatic warming would be required.
