Global warming - Europe with sea level +100m
auteur: Walter B. Myers/Novapix

Image Size 300 DPI: 42 * 42 cm
This is how Europe, North Africa and the Middle East may appear with mean sea level about 100 meters (330 feet) above today's. Such a dramatic rise in sea level could occur if all of the Earth's glaciers were to melt.In this image nearly every European country has been flooded with sea water to some extent. Much of the United Kingdom and France have become part of the Atlantic Ocean while Denmark and The Netherlands are completely submerged as are Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The Black Sea has grown to include much of Bulgaria and Ukraine.
The Mediterranean Sea now covers parts of Egypt (including all of the Nile delta), Libya and Tunisia and all of western Israel. The Persian Gulf has completely submerged Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and much of Iraq and United Arab Emirates. To the west some of Mauritania and all of Senegal have become part of the Atlantic Ocean.
