Savannah, Georgia
Savannah already sits in a hurricane hotspot. But even without extreme weather occurrences, this charming and historic city could see some land swallowed up by the sea all around it.
The Savannah River in the north and the Ogeechee River in the south could both eventually spill out into the nearby marshland. This means that when hurricanes and flash floods hit the city, the effects of future coastal flooding may be even more harsh.
Adriatic Coast, Italy
The projected sea-level rise for the Mediterranean will affect many wonderful places, especially on the coast of the northern Adriatic. We’ve already talked about Venice’s fight against the rising tide.
But the town of Aquileia is also in the red zone, according to Climate Control’s info. The charming country town, home to a UNESCO-listed basilica, was once one of the biggest and wealthiest cities of the Roman Empire.
And it’s the location of one of the most complete, unexcavated Roman sites on the European continent.
Thessaloniki, Greece
Water is entwined with the history of Greece’s second city, established in 315 BC and located on the northern tip of the Thermaic Gulf.
With its churches, powerful fortifications, and ancient monuments, Christian, Roman, Byzantine and Venetian influences are all around Thessaloniki. But the Thermaic Gulf is one of the Mediterranean danger zones and is vulnerable to future coastal flooding.
Nagoya, Japan
From Chiba to Osaka, the nature of some coastal Japanese cities makes them powerless against rising sea levels, especially during typhoon season, usually from May to October. Most are well-equipped to deal with it.
But the industrial port of Nagoya, Japan’s 4th biggest city, might have significant issues. Rising from the Nagara and Kiso rivers, the map shows that the city’s western parts could be below the tide line.

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!!
