Global warming

It is the year 2100, when global warming is fully established. The Arctic, Greenland and Antarctic ice caps have melted completely, and still the heat is increasing...

Then the oceans start evaporating and the coastlines recede. Only land where once the seawater lapped the shores...

They wait and wait for their old friend rain...

They want rain to come quickly...

Because...?

Because...

Long time, no sea.
