What popular tourist destinations could look like in 2050 due to climate change - with much of London plunged underwater and roads melting in California (only 7.54 years left)

From flooded cities to hellish wildfires and deadly droughts, gloomy climate reports constantly describe a world ruined by climate change.

But what would this actually look like?

London's Big Ben looks straight out of a disaster movie, straddled by a mass of murky floodwater, while the Pyramids of Giza are home to a toxic urban landscape.

Palm trees of Hawaii have been ravaged by fire, while California's Death Valley is so hot that the roads are melting.

Experts at DiscoverCars.com believe their images could become reality in 2050, unless we take serious climate action and curb our emissions.

'With global warming continuing to have an impact on the planet, we're already starting to see the effects of climate change,' it says in a blog post.

'From the melting of glaciers in the Arctic to warmer summers than ever before, it's safe to say that the environment is changing before our very eyes in real-time.

'With that being said, how might these renowned road trip routes look in the near future if climate change continues to progress at the current rate?'

LONDON

Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament is usually at the top of any holidaymaker's must-see list when they visit London.

But the artist's impression shows our majestic capital in a sorry state due to the Thames having burst its banks.

Westminster Bridge is barely above the waterline, while the roads in front of the legendary tourist attraction – officially called the Elizabeth Tower – are totally flooded.

Experts at DiscoverCars.com say: 'Due to rising sea levels, the majority of the London docks and any suburbs near the Thames are anticipated to be submerged...

Seems sensible to me.

Should make for a big resurgence in the scuba diving industry.

And they know this how? Did a time traveler from 2050 told them this? Or did they input Bullcrap into a computer to create what they want?

Actually it will probably make for some great photos.

Besides only a few more years left, why stress out about it?

My 13 year old on Quora say the same when people talk about Conservatives ruining the planet. He says when the elites starts to sell their oceanfront mansions and private jets, he and his friends will get serious about it. Of course, he gets his replies gets deleted from Quora at times.

Didn’t the world end in 1986? I remember the ice age was going to kill us all.

Half the US was supposed to have flood a decade or so ago. The left were all excited over Mar-a-Lago flooding before Trump was out of office.

I remember the roads near Mt Home Idaho melting in the summer of 1989. Was that global warming, or was it too soon?

These folks have not been right even ONE TIME. In 2010 ABC News showed parts of Manhattan would be underwater by 2020...Didn’t happen.
