Global warming, rising water levels, and more frequent, violent storms and erosion.
What coastal cities or areas do you think will disappear, or become an island?

What makes you think it will be that much different from today?
What sea level rise figures are you thinking of? Al Gore’s 20 feet? The IPCC’s 15 inches, or, arguably, the most likely case which is a repeat of the last century’s rise of about 6 inches?
There’s an awful lot of scaremongering going on about global warming with lots of people in the media reporting all the most extreme, dire predictions they can find, while completely ignoring anything that suggests the opposite.
Have a look at this, for example… http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2007/09/14/sea-level-slowdown/#more-266 which points out that when movements of land are taken into account, we can reduce the sea level rise of the last century by 27%. But, as the article correctly points out…
“Of course, these results gained absolutely no press coverage whatsoever – imagine the coverage they would have received had their results *increased* sea-level rise by 27% and suggested that sea level rise was occurring *faster* then previous research indicated!”
As ever with global warming - don't believe the hype.

He suggested he needed to place the protection stress in lots of of places & he named the long record. This became on an identical speech the place he sang bomb, bomb, bomb Iran. yet no else appeared to capture it. He by no ability stated it returned. I think of whilst he have been given back to his klan they did a three stooges act on him. i will see Rove twisting his nostril & Cheney bopping him on the top & Bush coming in direction of him in drunkened swaggert asserting to him (in his TX accessory "You dumb criminal, now shutup it incredibly is my pastime". So we'd all be begging to connect the protection stress reason is may be the only place to get a job. Unfortunetly, that's the reality for a lot of people no longer simply by fact of Obama yet simply by destruction the destruction that Bush has left.

You are living in a fantasy world created by demogog politicians. It doesn't exist in reality. The ice-age has been retreating for 10,000 years. Freaking out about it serves no one except politicians that really need to have followers that swallow whole whatever they feed.

You are aware that the sea level is lower today than it was in the 1840's?
Are you looking at facts, or just believing the hype?

I think New Orleans and most of the east coast cities other than New York will be pretty much islands or flooded over.

That would be interesting because I will operate a dive shop to organize diving trips for divers to explore cities underwater.

That would be very scary, indeed.
