如果所有的冰都融化了，地球會是什么樣子?

We've learned over the past few years that global sea levels are rising at a rapid pace as global warming melts Earth's ice.

在過去的幾年里，我們了解到，由于全球變暖地球的冰被融化，全球海平面正在迅速上升。

The consequence of this much ice melting so quickly is dangerous.

冰融化速度如此之快的后果是很危險(xiǎn)的。

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and NASA warned a couple of years ago that many impacts of climate change are already irreversible and that sea levels will rise at least 90 centimeters in the coming decades.

聯(lián)合國政府間氣候變化委員會和NASA在幾年前警告說，氣候變化的許多影響已經(jīng)不可逆轉(zhuǎn)，在未來的幾十年里海平面至少會上升90厘米。

The coastal U.S. cities like New York, Houston, New Orleans, Miami, San Diego, San Francisco and many more all will be covered in water. Many more international cities would face the same fate.

美國沿海城市，如紐約、休斯頓、新奧爾良、邁阿密、圣地亞哥、舊金山等都都將被水覆蓋，更多的國際城市也將面臨同樣的命運(yùn)。

It's a terrifying look at what the future could hold, but hopefully projections like this one can lead to a unified effort across the globe to combat it. If not, there's going to be a lot of moving going on.

這是一個可怕的景象，未來可能會這樣發(fā)展，但希望像這樣的預(yù)測可以引起全球范圍內(nèi)統(tǒng)一的努力，共同與之斗爭。如果不這樣的話，更多的變化將會上演，事情會變得更糟。
