This is the most likely scenario to be seen first. Someone pointed out global warming and the melting of the ice caps. IMO, that will eventually happen much later and probably make swamp land out of the lowest lying areas.

Really would be a shame. I went to California two years ago for the first time in my life; a VERY beautiful state. I was just in awe.
