The Basque country story

Hello everybody,

We are in 2150, a terrible tragedy has happened in our beautiful region of the Basque country.

A few years ago, the Basque Country was a really beautiful place in the south west of France near Spain.

As it is situated along the Atlantic Ocean, this region has always attracted a lot of tourists that’s why nobody could imagine what has just happened.

Because of global warming the ice caps have melted, consequently the sea level has risen.

Little by little the continents are being engulfed by the sea.

We are responsible for this global warming, the real cause is pollution;

Our cars have polluted too much the atmosphere, so have nuclear energy and wastes. So, the ozone layer has been destroyed step by step. The temperature of the planet has increased and caused the rising of water. Europe has progressively been covered by the Atlantic Ocean consequently the Basque people have been forced to move away from the ocean, into inland places.

The consequences in the world are terrible:

–  Houses are the new wrecks of the ocean.

– Chiberta forest’s trees are the new barrier reef of the ocean

– The monuments are now explored by divers

– The sea museum’s fishes have found a new bigger home because the museum has been destroyed by water power.

– All Italy is now Venise.

But some people didn’t want to leave their house and they decided to stay near the ocean. They were killed by a tsunami, a consequence of the rising water. Contrary to the tsunami that happened a lot of years ago in Japan this one was gigantic. The waves were 50 meters tall. All the things that were on the waves path have been devastated by the water strength.

To conclude, we are heartbroken because the Basque country doesn’t exist anymore and we must have good behaviour to present our planet. Although it is difficult, we have to change our habits if we want to go around the sales in New-York, to eat Tacos in Mexico and paella in Spain, see kangaroos in Australia and all the typical things of each country in our world.
