A new interactive map has revealed dozens of US cities could be underwater by 2100 due to rising sea levels. An international team of researchers estimated that global sea levels could rise by a staggering 6.2 feet by the year 2100 if carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions continue to increase.

That is roughly double the most recent United Nations global projection, and the researchers said this scenario is 'very likely,' with a 90 percent chance of becoming reality if humanity does not substantially cut emissions. Researchers discovered that people living on the East Coast would be hit the hardest with large portions of New York City, Boston, Atlantic City and Miami submerged.

The map also predicted that President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, located in Palm Beach, Florida will also be underwater in about 75 years. However, the West Coast was predicted to see less flooding even after scientists have long said that the entire state of California would eventually be underwater.

'Our new very likely projections highlight just how large the uncertainties are when it comes to sea-level rise,' said study lead author Benjamin Grandey, Senior Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. 'The high-end projection of [6.2 feet] underscores the need for decision-makers to plan for critical infrastructure accordingly. More importantly, these results emphasize the importance of climate mitigation through reducing greenhouse gas emissions.'.
