Just finished and highly recommend this story by julie bertagna called "Exodus" cast 100 years in the future, the Earth is drowning thanks to global warming melting the icebergs. It's a story of fiction which you can read as pure fantasy action, but in reality, the message is right behind the highest wave - what are we going to do when this really does happen?
Summary: In 2100, the Earth’s ice caps have melted, the oceans have risen, and month-long fierce storms are the norm. The inhabitants of the tiny village island of Wing have moved further and further uphill as the seas rise, but there’s no longer anywhere else to go. Fifteen-year Mara believes she has evidence of great sky cities built somewhere in the south, and even though the villagers are skeptical, they have no other choice – they head for the one they believe to be closest. However, once they get there, they find that the high-tech city has equally high security, and it isn’t accepting new refugees. Now, it seems as though it will be up to Mara to find a way to get inside the city, and somehow save her people… and maybe the whole of humanity.
