You could see increased storm/wave activity, as well.
This would increase damage to coastal areas.

Large parts of the ice which now cover Antarctica and Greenland are melting, which will result in ocean levels rising, although nobody knows exactly how far or how fast. That means that areas which are now coast are likely to be underwater unless dikes are built to hold back the flooding. It's probable that the rise will be more than a meter - doesn't sound like much but it will put a large chunk of Florida underwater - over the course of 50 or so years.

I'd say "Most likely".. Unfortunately... If Global warming doesn't, in which, all these Hurricanes, and earthquakes, stem from I believe.... Natural disasters, will.... I think Nevada, will be the next West-Coast, and Georgia, or Michigan, will be the next SouthEastern coast, and northeastern coast... Scary thought, if your not saved. And, have your heart right with the Lord....

Global warming according to whom? Al Gore?
1st Al Gore is an active schizophrenic that doesn't take his meds, and before you buy his crap, check out http://www.junkscience.com
Al Gores' assumptions are extremely egocentric and fatalistic.
We have no more control (as humans) over global climate then we as individuals have over a bad case of diarrhea. (which seems to spew forth from Al's mouth daily..)

Not destroy, the sea will rise and cover the coast and nearby low lying areas

RISING SEAS result in more landloss
The northpole is melting ,and we will know it without ice in our life times.
this does not affect the sea level because it is ice that is already in the water.but the melting ice from Green land and the south pole ,are another matter.
and many thousands of hectares of arable land ,are lost already because of rising seas,
and yes this is always on the coast line

Lower Lands will go under water. The may have cities under water if the water doesn't destroy it.

more the polar melts more the sea level.which means it first floods the coastal areas then all will soon follow.

Despite what you may hear, no one knows for sure.
