Charleston, South Carolina
Regarding future coastal flooding, the South Carolina peach of Charleston is a pretty risky city to live in. A report found a 34% risk of at least one flood over 5ft between now and 2050 in Charleston County.
This leaves the beautiful historic city’s structures and homes helpless against damage and destruction, particularly in low-lying areas. In fact, storm surges along Charleston Harbor are likely to become more commonplace and severe.
Amsterdam, Netherlands
There’s a reason the Netherlands is called the Low Countries. Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and Hague sit low, flat, and close to the North Sea. The Dutch are well-known for their flood defenses, and looking at these sea-level projections.
But it seems the country’s system of dams, levees, barriers, and floodgates will become even more crucial in the years to come.
London, United Kingdom
Global warming has put London at risk of sinking, along with some other major cities, as rising sea levels mean more future coastal flooding along the Thames estuary, according to Climate Central.
Without radical coastal reinforcement strategies, the rise would be seen underwater in large parts of the capital.
Particularly helpless areas lie along the River Thames, the setting for some of the capital’s most essential structures, like the Tower of London and the Houses of Parliament. And even cultural spaces will be affected, such as the Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe.

Amazing that many do not see climate change as what it tells is, nature changing. But that explanation does not allow for taxing and controlling freedoms, which is what the globalists and democrats really want! The positive side to it is that many of today’s youth who are guillible enough to support it will eventually end up working for the collective and realizing reality sucks!
Exactly. Remember our lifespans are short compared to the age of our planet and it has gone through several climate changes.
More than just Louisiana coastal areas, think about Port Arthur, Galveston, and possibly Corpus Christi. The Gulf is coming!
I do Notice a complete disregard of the phenomenon of “Subsidence”, being land settling due to ground water pumping caused by man needing a drink.
And I also Notice a complete disregard of the phenomenon of “Erosion”, being the washing away of the beaches and coastlines due to Entirely NATURAL action of waves washing away sand and soil.
But then again this being one of those “Alarmist” articles on Anthroprogenic climate change and only mentioning Subsidence in regard to “Skyscrapers” , I guess it should have been expected.
But I also Remember from high school a photograph of an Old Buick Car ( new at the time of the photo ) with a guy leaning on the fender, And pointing out the telephone poles in the background and stating that the Tops of the poles (30-40′ above the Car ) were at the original ground level, And The Surface had Settled due to groundwater Pumping for Crop Irrigation of the Napa and San Joaquin valleys, and population Growth in the area is ONLY going to make Subsidence worse.
Miami, Fl.?
Manmade Climate change is a fraud.
Just another way for the global elites to control people for world domination by controling fuel,food,funds and mobility of everyone by the NWO.
I’ve watched the Atlantic Ocean from the beach every day for the last 30 years.
The tides rise and fall twice a day.
The tides are very noticeable.
Every wave, large or small, washes up the sand.
The waves are very noticeable.
Whatever few millimeters the ocean level may have risen is dwarfed by the tides and waves is not noticeable.
Will many coastal land areas be completely inundated by the end of the century?
NOT SO’S YOU’D NOTICE!
What Miami did not make this list? It will be the first to go!!
