Wow-- good question.
My first guess is the Poles, North and South-- from the melting of the polar ice caps.
Then the coastal areas from being flooded by all that extra water.
But I am not so sure you can separate things out that way. The earth does not exist all by itself in parts, what affects one part, affects another.

The arctic ocean. When it is ice-covered, it reflects almost all the energy that hits it. When it is ice-free, it absorbs in excess of 80%. This is a positive feedback effect. Land that has been permafrost or glacier-covered goes from white to dark, the same effect to a lesser extent.
From the human standpoint, land that has been flooded due to sea level rise and more energy being moved around in storms will probably be the worst, although cities suffering death tolls as big as wars from heat waves will also be a factor.

Both of you guys are wrong. Global warming most likely takes place in Los Angeles (LA) and New York. They are both crowded with cars and have a lot of buildings. Both are polluted, and during December, LA was 76 degrees fahrenheit.

Russia. It's making money by virtue of Kyoto.
And China. By virtue of being exempt.
And wherever people are getting tax payer's money to study it.
