Richmond is at a reduced risk of damage caused by major climate events due to its location inland from the coast, especially compared to Norfolk, Virginia, and the District of Columbia, which both endure flooding issues from the coast and rivers. Still, Richmond faces heat waves and heavy rainfall. Active conservation efforts in the area and a greater amount of natural environment surrounding the city help to increase Richmond’s resiliency in the face of climate change, though its CRSI score dropped from 6.53 in 2017 to 4.98 in 2020.

Fresno is an inland California metro area, with little risk for climate change events to cause large-scale devastation, according to the EPA.

Fresno’s access to large highways and multiple major airports beyond the confines of its own metro area also make it an attractive place as climate issues grow.

Global Warming is a real and absolutely current threat that poses a serious risk to some of the world’s most beautiful and famous places. Future generations, but also younger ones, may not have the chance to see some of the jewels of our planet. The famous Italian meteorologist, climate expert, environmental advisor Luca Lombroso has selected among the sites at risk of desertification, sea-level rise, glaciers merging the 10 most significant ones.

“When I seek another word for ‘music’, I never find any other word than ‘Venice“: so Nietzsche described the magic of Venice. But now the Venetian city is likely to be submerged by the end of the century.
2. Alpine glaciers
Just look at old photographs to see how alpine glaciers have retreated, especially in the last 20 years. By the end of the century, or even before, if we won’t be able to stop global warming, only glaciers above 4000 meters will remain. We will forget the perennial snow in summer.
