These Indian cities likely to go three feet underwater by century-end, IPCC report rings warning bell

A new report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has dire warnings for India, which is already going through an unpredictable upheaval in weather patterns and environmental factors. The most dangerous risk factor is rising sea level that threatens to submerge 12 coastal cities in the country by the end of the century.

The cities could be nearly three feet underwater by the century's end. The cities include Mumbai, Chennai, Kochi, and Visakhapatnam, among others.
