Answer:
Since the US is a pretty large nation I think it would be worthwhile to consider different areas separately. I'm from Florida, so naturally I'm concerned a bit more about sea level rise and hurricanes than someone from say Indiana. But someone from Indiana may be more concerned that a warmer world will bring on a new dust bowl. It really does become fantastically complex when you try to quantify the effects on specific areas as a result of global climate change. One thing is certain though, the less money a country has, the less ability it has to adapt.

An interesting list! I think countries that are large, compared to their populations, will generally be OK. Canada, the US, probably Australia, will be at the top. As for my country, the UK, we are projected to have a population of 70 million by 2050 and already are in a position of HAVING to import much of our food. As the global population continues to rise, food can only become more expensive, especially if land for food crops is reduced by the need to produce bio-fuels etc. Our manufacturing output is comparable to pre WW2 levels. We have few natural resources and North Sea Oil is almost gone. Given that most of our wealth seems to come from the banking industry rather than anything useful, I think the only way is down for us! :-(

Those of you who believe that global climate change is a thoery not a fact, should look at the evidence. See reference.

Global Warming occurs naturally and has been going on for many years. In the future you can expect higher electric bills because of carbon credits which will accomplish absolutely nothing just like in Europe. Its all a money grab as scientists are paid to support global warming. There is no money in saying that there is nothing to support the global warming argument or that man has caused it.

global warming is a theory not a fact. Florida had the coldest winter in 20 years as did michigan had more snow then prevous years as a NORMAL ONE,which brings most states to normal conditions according to the forecasters around the nation.

A non-factor's impact on a non-factor is a non-factor and of no concern to anyone.
