A map of how California will be affected by climate change in the future was unveiled yesterday by state governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The map, which demonstrates the devastating effects of global warming in just a century, shows how San Francisco Airport would be completely underwater if sea levels were to rise by 150cm (60in).
The coastline on the map was also coloured, highlighting how nearly half a million Californians are at risk from rising sea levels.
The map, named CalAdapt, which was revealed at a press conference on Treasure Island in San Francisco Bay by Mr Schwarzenegger and Google CEO Eric Schmidt, was created as part of a plan for the state to adapt to global warming.
'Within a century, Treasure Island, this place where we are right now, could be totally under water,' the governor said. 'It is technology in the end that will save us.'

Araid it’s going to have to rise more than 5 ft., Arnold.
The “official” elevation is 60 feet, traditionally measured at City Hall.
However, actual elevations in the City vary from 0 feet (at sea level) to over 750 feet at Mt. Sutro.
I was going to point out that it wouldn’t be a flood, just a flush.
What do you call San Francisco under water?
A good start!
He says that like it’s a bad thing.
