I care about all coastal cities and their people. But these places are just the ones I want to visit. It is not meant to be all-inclusive.

Answer 1

If global warming causes sea level to rise by several meters. all these places will submerge, totally or partially, but as the expected rise of sea levels will be gradual you could plan to start visiting the places that are going to drown first - Venice, Manhattan, and Florida.
and by the way, you forgot to mention New Orleans, or is it one of the places you consider too late to visit, because they are already drowned.

Answer 2

they all are I live in Peoria Illinois and have been noticing the effects of global warming for at least 8 years 1. It was really wet and started looked a rain forrest 2. I have witnesed 3 snowfalls in the 8 years,that have all been larger than I have since 1977, hardly a leaf has fallen my maple or oak trees as a matter of fact the bueatiful colors red orange yellow of fall i have not seen, what miss even worse is the simple smell of fall our climate has already changed it is too late to change the damage we have done and we don't act soon no one will be able live cities that you have mentioned, as a matter of fact my mid-western city will not exsist

Answer 3

All these places probably are in danger of rising sea levels due to global warming, as they are all coastal cities. But the danger of that happening too soon is unlikely, maybe in 50 or so years if current trends continue.

Answer 4

Current sea levels are less then levels recorded 165 years ago. The sea levels are receding, not rising. There is no coast line that's in danger at this time.

Answer 5

You're missing some of the most important ones, which are more likely to see impacts sooner, and where the people involved would be much more severely impacted than those in the rich cities you cite (which have the resources to deal with it).

Two examples are Manila in the Philippines and farmers on the coast of Bangladesh.

Answer 6

Maldives

Answer 7

Not a single one. The ocean level has not risen any appreciable amount since they started recording it. Venice is sinking the waters aren't rising.
