MIAMI Wholesale Tampa Bay Lightning Jerseys , the United States, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- As bad as Hurricane Irma is, an even more insidious threat is coming, as climate change causes sea levels to slowly rise and threatens to put large chunks of the U.S. state of Florida under water.


While ocean levels have risen and fallen over tens of thousands of years, they have remained the same over the past 5 Wholesale St. Louis Blues Jerseys ,000 or 6,000 years, since the dawn of recorded human history.


Now, however, is the first time in recorded history that they are changing.


"South Florida's doomsday doesn't come with a hurricane. It just comes very quietly as the water creeps up Wholesale San Jose Sharks Jerseys ," Daniel Kreeger, executive director of the Association of Climate Change Officers, told Xinhua.


"We're so close to sea level that if sea level is rising, there's a point where you don't need a storm (to do harm). You're just underwater," he said.


That sits in sharp contrast with just two decades ago Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys , when the main concern of residents and property owners was hurricanes, he said.


Now, low lying cities worldwide, from Mumbai to Bangkok to right here in southern Florida, are under the same threat.


According to images collected by NASA Wholesale Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys , global sea levels have risen 3 inches (7.6 cm) since 1992.


The U.S. National Ocean Service said global sea levels will likely continue to rise, although it remains unknown by how much.


Some experts said that could spell disaster for southern Florida, which includes Miami and the surrounding area.


A confluence of factors puts Miami under particular risk. For one thing, the city lies on a foundation of limestone, which allows water to seep through from underneath and come up through the sewers and drainage system to cause flooding.


That can happen during the king tide season -- a time of higher-than-usual tides -- and can in some cases happen without even a drop of rain.


City officials Wholesale Ottawa Senators Jerseys , politicians and climate change experts with whom Xinhua has spoken said this confluence of factors -- rising sea levels, a limestone foundation and king tides -- threaten to make large parts of the area uninhabitable.


While it remains unknown whether that will take decades or a century, local residents said it seems to be getting worse.


Jose, a waiter at a downtown Miami hotel who only gave his first name, said even a couple of hours of rain can flood the streets in certain neighborhoods in Miami.


"I've been here all my life and I don't remember it being this bad when I was a kid Wholesale New York Rangers Jerseys ," he told Xinhua a couple of days before the hurricane hit.


"Just a couple of weeks ago there was a couple of hours of rain and already the water was up here," Jose said, demonstrating with his hands that water was above his ankles.


Danny, an Uber driver in downtown Miami, echoed those sentiments Wholesale New York Islanders Jerseys , telling Xinhua that rainfall causes light flooding in some streets as he traverses the area.


Some in the real estate business said Florida may be the next big real estate investment destination for foreign investors including Chinese. But if parts of the state see more frequent flooding, that trend could reverse.


Southern Florida is historically a major retirement destination for Americans, a party place for the rich and famous, and boasts a vibrant Cuban community that has lived there since the 1960s, many of whom are wealthy.

UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Friday said that the Group of 77 (G-77) and China are an important force in carrying out the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a blueprint for global development efforts for year leading up to 2030.


The statement came as the secretary-general was speaking at the 40th annual meeting of the foreign ministers of the Group of 77, which was held at the UN Headquarters in New York on the sidelines of the annual high-level debate of the UN General Assembly.


"The United Nations and the G-77 have an invaluable partnership," Ban said. "Together, we have made enormous progress for human rights and human dignity."


"The G-77 and China was also a driving force behind the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development -- our truly transformative plan for the planet and all people," he said.


"I call on the G-77 countries to live up to the New York Declaration -- and pressure the developed world to do its part," the secretary-general said, referring to an international document adopted here by UN member states to address the issue of large movement of refugees and migrations.


"It is critical to address root causes," he said. "Poverty, human rights abuses and violence drive people from their homes."


"Migration should always be a choice," the secretary-general said. "That is why it is so important to carry out the 2030 Agenda," which includes 17 SDGs.


"We need to create jobs, especially for young people," he said. "And we need to continue the fight for full equality for women."


The G-77 was set up in June 1964 by 77 developing countries signatories of the "Joint Declaration of the Seventy-Seven Developing Countries" issued at the end of the first session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) in Geneva.


The Group of 77 is the largest intergovernmental organization of developing countries in the United Nations, which provides the means for the countries of the South to articulate and promote their collective economic i.
