There was a chilling story in the travel section of the Sun-Herald today which drives home the notion that our future generations will not be able to enjoy the world most spectacular natural sites as there is a good chance that they wont be around for much longer.

These include:

1. Great Barrier Reef
2. The Alps
3. Caribbean Reefs
4. The Himilayas
5. Southern Spain
6. Kenya
7. Tuvalu
8. Tropical North Queensland
9. Maldives
10. Hudson Bay, Canada

In this article, the writer, Clara Iaccarino advises travellers to visit these spectacular places before the sea rises, glaciers melt and water supplies dry up.....

How sad is that?
