We wish this were more funny but it's just sad. Even if we somehow manage to stay within the now-ambitious global warming limit of 2°C on global mean temperature compared to the pre-industrial age, sea levels will still rise by more than a meter and sink Amsterdam. Continuing to emit carbon at our current rate means we will have a 4°C increase by 2100, leaving New York under water.

Sure, we all want to snorkel Australia's Great Barrier Reef and take selfies with Nemo. But better be quick - climate change is destroying coral reefs: Rising water temperatures can cause bleaching of coral and, at 2°C of warming, coral can simply dissolve. Increased oceanic CO2 uptake makes the water more acidic, preventing new coral from normal growth.

With warming in the area at "three times the global average," according to the OECD, Europe's Alps have already seen major declines in annual snow levels. Ski areas in lower regions are already having difficulty or going bankrupt. Some resorts are even covering glaciers with reflective material during warmer months, with glaciers melting and plant growth migrating to higher elevations.

Venice is just one of many low-lying cities that could drown in the rising seas, or become uninhabitable as flooding and storms affect them more strongly. But it is not only the Italian island-city expecting this fate. Cities all over the world - Miami, New York, Santo Domingo, Baranquilla, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City, Palembang, Tokyo, Mumbai, Alexandria, Amsterdam - are equally at risk.

Melting ice is giving ships a shortcut between Europe and Asia on the historically impassable Northwest Passage. In 2007, the European Space Agency announced that the whole passage was "fully navigable" and while it's not clear enough to be used as a shipping lane, cruise ships are capitalizing on what used to be an adventure reserved for the toughest explorers.

Always wanted to go on a safari? Well, better be quick. Overpopulation and climate change are both affecting animals as they struggle to adjust to more frequent and more intense droughts, heat waves, storms and rising oceans. World Wildlife Fund (WWF) put the African Elephant on its "Impacted Species and Places" list, along with sea turtles, tigers, dolphins and whales.

Climate change is helping propel the Golden State to severe droughts, with the last three years being the hottest and driest on record - harming the almond yields. So, if you plan to wander underneath Californian almond trees - or through Brazilian coffee plantations or Vietnamese rice fields - the time to do that may be limited.

The World Heritage Sites lists many natural beauties, but with 3°C of warming, 136 of the 700 sites will be affected by climate change. One of them is the Glacier National Park, a crucial site for research on climate change, proving its effect: of 150 glaciers that are estimated to have existed here in mid-19th century, only 24 remained in 2010. The park is predicted to be glacier free by 2030.

Fear not, if wanderlust hasn't got hold of you yet, why not stay right where you are? Climate change may well be coming to your door. If you're lucky, you won't even have to leave your sofa to witness it. Climate Central estimates that 150+ million people are living in areas that will either be submerged or experience chronic flooding by 2100. It may also happen a lot faster.
