Andalucia, Spain
Western Europe’s oldest existing city is also in trouble: Cadiz and a few other parts of Andalucia will be harshly affected by climate change. The port was established by the Phoenicians more than 3,000 years ago.
Still, sea levels could mean future coastal flooding wreaking havoc on the city’s lovely tree-lined plazas, cobblestoned center, and historic sea fortifications.
Andalucia’s lower Guadalquivir River area is at risk of flooding as well, which would have ramifications for parts of the region’s riverside capital Seville.
Male, Maldives
The Maldives has been aware of the danger of rising sea levels for quite some time now. The nation has even begun building a floating city to deal with it.
So it isn’t so much the Maldivan capital, Male itself, that’s at risk but its infrastructure and surrounding islands. Rising tide levels pose a serious concern from the airport and a considerable amount of Hulhumale island.
Alexandria, Egypt
Several cultural heritage sites are at stake in Egypt’s ancient seaport of Alexandria. The modern metropolis was founded by Alexander the Great around 330 BC and could be lost to future coastal flooding in the next few decades.
Key sites include the Citadel of Qaitbay, built where the legendary Pharos lighthouse used to be, Pompey’s Pillar and the ruins of the temple of Serapeum, and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, a modern library built in memory of the city’s esteemed ancient library and one of Egypt’s primary cultural venues.
Banjarmasin, Indonesia
The Indonesian city of Banjarmasin is built mainly below sea level on a swampy delta near the Barito River. Climate Central shows it is set to overflow its banks by 2030 regularly.
As well as being known as the “City of Thousand Rivers,” Banjarmasin is also a hub for indigenous Banjarese culture.

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!!
