What Happened in Indonesia if the entire Polar Ice Melt?



ce at the north pole and south covering 10 percent of Earth's surface . The amount of ice is estimated at 5 billion cubic . What happens in the world , especially Indonesia , when all the ice melts ?
National Geographic made ​​an interactive map . Map shows that when all the ice melts , sea level will be higher , more land is lost , so mountainous island , and people will lose money .
On the map of Asia , could be seen the impact of the melting of the polar ice Indonesia. Visible , more coastline indented. This means that Indonesia's land will be significantly reduced and transformed into a sea .
It can be seen , Indonesian waters become more " clean" . That is, many of the islands in Indonesia which is lost drowned . Kalimantan region alone will lose a lot of land , making Indonesia lost many forest areas .
The impact can be imagined , many exotic species in Indonesia , such as the Sumatran tiger , the Sumatran orangutan and Borneo , as well as many more , will be disrupted . Many indigenous people who depend on forests will be increasingly difficult to live .
Maps also predict what will happen in other Asian regions . Mekong River Delta will be flooded . Impact region of China , India , and Bangladesh will be flooded . A total population of 760 million , based on the current count , will dirugikan.Di European region , it was shown that the melting of the entire ice , London will only be a memory . So also with Venice , Holland , and Denmark . In North America , the impact is the area of ​​San Francisco that would be a cluster of islands .
Scientists estimate , it may take more than 5,000 years for all the ice to melt . However , if humans continue to use fossil fuels and move as usual to add trillions of tons of carbon into the atmosphere , the Earth will be hotter and the ice melts quickly .
Last Earth experienced a period of very hot and ice-free in 34 million years ago , Eocene age . If greenhouse gases in the atmosphere continues to increase , it is not impossible that future happen again .
For the West Antarctic region alone , since 1992 , the ice had melted . National Geographic reports stated that the amount of ice that melts around 65 million metric tons . Ice melt in Greenland is also reported significant .
