Waterworld: How America's cities will look in five centuries if sea level rises predicted by scientists prove correct

*In a bid to raise public awareness about global warming, an artist has created a shocking series of image

*Nickolay Lamm's photo illustrations show many of America's most iconic destinations under up to 25 feet of water

*Months after Superstorm Sandy, a recent study has concluded that severe weather is now the new normal

*Last year was the hottest year ever in the United States


This chilling series of images give an alarming projection of how some of America’s most famous tourism destinations could look in the future if scientists predictions about the effects of global warming prove correct.

Pittsburgh-based researcher and artist Nickolay Lamm, 24, has created the shocking photo illustrations which show many of American’s most iconic destinations including the Washington Monument, Statue of Liberty and Miami’s South Beach submerged in up to 25 feet of water.

It could take several centuries for sea levels to rise to that level but Lamm hopes his work will raise public awareness about the very real threat of global warming today, reports StorageFront.
