- Miami - with carbon-cuts still there, without carbon-cuts gone

- Los Angeles - without carbon-cuts Long Beach will be gone and East Compton will be beachside-property

- San Diego - with or without carbon-cuts Silver Strand Boulevard will be gone. Without carbon-cuts, the airport will also be gone.

- San Francisco:
-- Even with carbon-cuts, San Jose will have a beach now.
-- With or without carbon-cuts, the area from Stockton to Sacramento will be underwater.
-- Without carbon-cuts, Sacramento will be underwater.

- Norfolk - Without carbon-cuts, the whole area from Hampton to the Albemarle Sound will be gone.



- Doha - the international airport, gone

- Hong Kong - a good chunk of the inner city plus the international airport, gone in any case
