“Someday, not all that far in the future, sea level rise is going to drown our coastal cities. And it’s not only our homes and livelihoods that are at risk, but also our culture.” Of 720 UNESCO World Heritage sites, a new study asserts 136, including the Statue of Liberty and Sydney’s famed Opera House, might be left underwater. Other losses will likely extend to Venice, the Tower of London, the leaning tower of Pisa, Westminster Abbey and central Bruges, Naples, Riga and St. Petersburg.
