As per an analysis by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the Paradip may submerge in the Bay of Bengal by the end of the 21st century. It is estimated the port town of Odisha is feared to be under 1.93 feet of seawater.
According to the report of the Intergovernmental Committee on Climate Change (IPCC) estimates that 11 other coastal cities of India may face similar sea threats and go underwater by as much as three feet. The report stated that the coastal areas will see continued sea-level rise throughout the 21st century, contributing to more frequent and severe coastal flooding in low-lying areas and coastal erosion with extreme sea-level events that previously occurred once in 100 years could happen every year by the end of this century.
Further, the report added that apart from the Paradip, other areas like Mumbai in Maharashtra, Okha in Gujarat, Kandla, Bhavnagar, Mormugao in Goa, Mangaluru in Karnataka, Chennai and Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu, Visakhapatnam in Andhra, Kochi in Kerala and Kidropore in West Bengal will also be at a greater risk
As per the forecast, the global temperature will increase significantly by the year 2100. Along with terrible heat which will have to be endured and if steep carbon emissions and pollution levels are not stopped, the average temperature will increase by 4.4 °C. Environmentalists have expressed serious concern over the IPCC report on global warming.
