Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a graphical simulation of the processes related to global warming on Earth in relation to changes in the coastline of the southern part of the Baltic Sea. Presentation of data needed to simulate the changes are taken from the latest IPCC report is based on data obtained from NOAA measurement (The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. National Climatic Data Center), on the results of temperature measurement on a global scale for the years 1900 - 2013. The forecast increase in global temperature of the Earth was developed based on data obtained from eight representative research centers, which are summarized in a single graph, allowing the comparative characteristics of these forecasts. On the basis of sea-level rise projections, presented the comparative characteristics of the areas at risk of flooding in the southern part of the countries around the Baltic Sea. Graphic form presented in two forms, present status, and simulation of the same areas in the event of rising water up to 1m - case scenario.
