These cities may disappear by 2030

Due to global warming, sea levels are rising rapidly. This could wreak havoc around the globe, as millions of people will be directly impacted by elevated water levels. If you're someone who doesn't feel directly threatened by these changes, it can be hard to visualize how the world might look in the future. Climate Central, the organization that researches the impact of climate change, including sea level rise and coastal flooding, has created a map that shows which parts of the world could find themselves threatened by rising sea levels. Keep in mind that a lot can change, and ideally governments could finally take serious action to address the climate crisis. However if they don't, these studies can help us prepare for the potential consequences. To find out which cities around the globe could find themselves below tide level as early as 2030, check out this gallery.

The shameful history of the ghetto

A ghetto is broadly defined as a city neighborhood in which members of a minority group are ensconced. But the term is also associated with segregation, persecution, and impoverishment. The first semblance of a ghetto appeared in North Africa in the early 1300s. By the following century, ghettos were being established across much of Western Europe, mainly to seal displaced Jewish populations. The Second World War saw the establishment of the most notorious ghettos in history. In the United States, meanwhile, urban enclaves developed rapidly to house immigrants from far-flung lands, but some of these too would later be recognized as ghettos. So how exactly is a ghetto defined, and in which parts of the world did they flourish? Click through and find out more about these enforced residential areas.
