Photo Gallery Osaka Submerged
DER SPIEGEL commissioned the illustrations in this story from Climate Central, an independent association of scientists and journalists. They show four examples of the effect the warming of the atmosphere could have on the sea level if countermeasures are not undertaken now. The cities illustrated include New York, Miami, London and, representative of Asian megaports, Osaka, Japan.

And, finally, this is what it would look like in a horrific scenario in which the sea level rose by 6 meters. But levels like this would only be reached after a very protracted period.
