Pic Of The Day: Ireland In 2100, Will Your Town Or Village Survive?

Jason Simons is a graphic artist from Slovakia who specialises in detailed maps of the world. Best known for his world map of the Internet, Simons decided to focus on Europe in his latest series of works. This picture is his first regional map of the 'World In 2100 Series'. The artist writes: "After global warming and rising of sea level sharply escalated, sea level is now 100 meters higher than it was in year 2000."[sic] The map shows the fictional 2100 rising sea level scenario.  

If sea levels continue to rise, by 2100 all of the red parts of Ireland & UK will be completely under water.... pic.twitter.com/cfi7kgAbqM — Deric Ó h'Artagáin☀☔ (@deric_hartigan) February 9, 2014
