A study states that by

2050, around 95% of North
Jakarta will be submerged. The

land surface in North Jakarta has
fallen by 2.5 m in 10 years and in

some parts continues to fall by 25
cm annually. This decrease is the

impact of rising sea levels caused

by climate change. Rising sea
levels occur due to melting of

polar ice caps and due to global
warming.

3. Excessive use of CFCs in cooling devices, for example air
conditioners, fans, and refrigerators.

4. Excessive carbon dioxide gas from motor vehicle pollution.

5. Exhaust gas or waste gas from large industries that are not equipped
with air filters.

6. Excessive use of electrical energy.
7. Excessive burning.
