Actually it's not ice and snow now. It's more frequent and destructive hurricanes and hurricanes. Higher tidal flow and storm surges. You can already se the effect in places like Miami when it's a multimmilon dollar effort to replenish the beach. You're going to see a point when that city asks for state and federal aid to keep the beach going. In the meantime the atlantic and possibly the gulf coasts are all going to be just rocky beaches and kill kill off tourism. Add the fact the rising sea level is seeping into the limestone and contaminating the water supply. I give it 10-20 years before South Florida's water supply will be so contaminated with salt that it will be uneconomically feasible to supply low priced drinking water. That's just south Florida mind you. Every metropolis along the coasts will have their own set of issues and you'll going to see a migration away from the cities like what happened to New Orleans after Katrina. Whehter it happens in a trickle or a flood would be interesting. D.C would definitely revert back to a literally swamp. The building where I work has issues with water coming out of the ground right now.
