Places to visit before they disappear in flood or flames
Planning a vacation to go do seemingly simple things like skiing in the Alps or diving by The Great Barrier Reef may soon not be a real, or fun, idea to entertain. Global warming and climate change is slowly but definitely changing tourism the world over with issues like rising seas, droughts, hurricanes, diseases, and forest fires changing the face of the planet. Some places, like the Maldive Islands, may completely disappear as sea levels rise (they've actually been put on the list of "Places to see by 2020"). Even some locations we all take for granted, like the beaches and Everglades in Florida, are being threatened with serious change and/or total underwater submersion.So start thinking about priorities and get out that list of "places to see before I die" and consider changing it to "places to see before they disappear."
