From Coastal Cities and Climate Change (You're going to get wet) in the June 15th, 2013 issue of The Economist:
"A survey by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found cities in America among the least likely, globally, to have plans for adapting to changing weather."
Edward Gibbon did not have climate change in mind when he wrote this, but his words could be increasingly important:
" . . . the vicissitudes of fortune, which spares neither man nor the proudest of his works . . . buries empires and cities in a common grave."
