California Map Reveals Cities That Could Be Underwater in 2050 [Video]

A new map shows where some parts of California could be impacted by sea levels rising and an increase in flooding due to climate change, but the state is still not as vulnerable as other coastal parts of the country.

The map, developed by researchers at nonprofit Climate Central, uses advanced predictive modeling to show which areas could be at risk of being submerged by 2050.

While most of California’s coastline appears to be safe, the worst affected areas would be around the northern part of the San Francisco Bay Area.

The low-lying areas around San Pablo Bay would be particularly affected, including Vallejo, as well as the areas above it surrounding the Napa River, and the area up to Petaluma.
