Turkey is at Risk from Climate Change: Scientific Map

Striking Simulation from Scientists

Global climate change continues to sound alarm bells worldwide. In a recent study, scientists developed a striking simulation map that illustrates the effects of environmental pollution and climate change on sea levels. This map reveals Turkey’s future risk situation, showing how vulnerable it is to environmental changes.

Sea Level is Rising!

Experts indicate that if environmental pollution is not kept under control, sea levels could rise by up to 5 meters. In this scenario, over 100 million buildings are at risk of being submerged. Professor Natalya Gomez, one of the leaders of the study, stated, "Sea levels are continuously rising, and we will feel the effects of this more distinctly in the coming centuries."

Turkey's Coastlines are at Risk

The simulation map appears to examine the scenarios concerning Turkey’s coastlines. If sea levels rise by 5 meters, especially the coastal areas of major cities like Istanbul and Izmir will be seriously affected. This situation could lead to land loss as well as significant asset losses in these cities.

The Impact of Fossil Fuels and Future Scenarios

Professor Gomez expressed, "If we continue to use fossil fuels, the rise in sea levels will be inevitable. People will perceive the changes in sea levels in a gradual but continuous manner." Scientists highlight the obligation of governments and global leaders to combat climate change without exceeding the limits set by the Paris Climate Agreement and call for urgent action on this issue.

Conclusion and Future Expectations

In conclusion, considering the risk factors in Turkey and across the globe is crucial for minimizing the effects of climate change. It is time to act now for future generations to live in a habitable environment!
