What would the world's most iconic landmarks look like under dozens or even hundreds of feet of water? Even better, what would your house look like if the oceans rose high enough to swallow it up?
If there's a photo of it on Google Street View, you can find out thanks to WorldUnderWater, a new web-based tool developed by Singapore-based CarbonStory.
A crowd-funding site devoted to raising awareness about climate change, CarbonStory provides ways for users to go "carbon neutral" by buying carbon offsets and sponsoring projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions around the world. WorldUnderWater is its effort to visualize what sea level rise could look like if nothing is done to slow emissions of human-produced GHGs into the atmosphere.
