Seems like Southern Florida will be a swimming hole, and California....even without global warming the quakes will get it. Tuvalu will lose its post office and those nice stamps. So where should we go where things will improve after the Earth warms up?

Deenerzz is correct about California not dropping into the ocean.

Northern Canada seems like a good option. In general investigate countries with with very large coast lines and mountains nearby...Take beautiful Brazil for example... I'd hate to lose Rio, but Petropolis is gonna be NUTZ!! Oh yeah, and if you're American it's pretty cheap too!

Uh...most of California is well above sea level even if water levels rise. We have lots and lots of mountains, Sierra Madre mountain range runs from top to bottom of the entire state.
Quakes will not "get" California. Alaska has more earthquake activity and no one is hysterical over that. I have lived in California 40 years and slept through a large amount of quakes.
If you are thinking of that stupid Hollywood theory that California will fall in the ocean if "the Big one hits" you need to study plate tectonics. One plate is heading from the South to the North and is not really a subduction plate. A subduction plate would go under another plate and as I mentioned it is a plate that is heading North. In a million years part of L.A. will be facing what is Oakland.

The smart place to buy property would be somewhere inland at an elevation more than 85 feet above sea level. Though sea levels likely won't rise that high until 2100 at the earliest. In general away from the coastlines is that place to be.

I'm not in a position to speculate in real estate, having just bought a boat to go deep sea fishing over the Kennedy compound when it gets inundated.

You should be able to buy land on the coastline from some gullible fool, CHEAP! Snap it up, because those sea-levels aren't going anywhere for another century.
